Americans ain't the sharpest tools in the shed.

These air strikes aren't going to stop ISIS.

Probably just better to not get involved in that cluster fuck.

But then of course the media would whine and complain that Obama isn't bombing the shit out of ISIS....his approval rating then goes down further and he hurts Dems for the mid terms.

This whole thing is just fucked.
