Are you not familiar with the fact that they govern the "liberated zones" in league with other radical Islamists, killing "apostates," enforcing sharia, cleansing non-Muslims, etc.? Why should the US spend one penny or life on this?

It's a clear threat to US national security.

The hell it isn't an act of war. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #25

No way! Guided missiles tipped with hundreds of pounds of high explosives raining down isn't war! cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #29

If we were hit with 100 cruise missiles, would we consider it an act of war or a slap in the face? DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #46

We aren't in the midst of a civil war and gassing our "enemies" along with civilians, including MADem Aug 2013 #95

First, I think it's now clear that shooting cruise missiles at Syria would be an act of war. DisgustipatedinCA Aug 2013 #96
