Is Obama Lying Us Into Another War In The Middle East For Oil?

[JayhawkSD]

12. What he is saying...

...is that the Islamic State is not a threat to the United States but that it might become one in the future and that justifies war now. The statement is false as to justification of war, because a possible and future threat does not justify war and never will. That was the Bush claim and it was and is false. Only real and imminent threat justifies war.

His claim of future threat is highly questionable, because it consists of the vague issue of people going there, learning to fight, and coming back here to "continue the..." whatever it is they learned there. The idea that a few individuals who learned fighting techniques arriving back home unarmed would constitute a threat to national security is pretty doubtful.

"Obama is not claiming they will use WMD against us." Which is all well and good, but if not, what is the nature of their threat to us and what is the reasons for putting our lives at risk and spending money that could better be used for domestic issues in order to "degrade and destroy" them?
