(12,530 posts)I believe that in that post, I prefaced by saying that I knew I was speaking in the heat of the moment, and that I would get to some calmer place. Well, I've sort of gotten to that place. I don't want a quagmire. I don't want tens of thousands of troops back in Iraq for years. But I have absolutely no qualms about using air and ground resources to kill these people. I'd go so far as to say that those members of ISIS who aren't near civilians should be killed without hesitation, irrespective of whether they're in Iraq or Syria. If I could convey a thought to ISIS, it would be this: my country is not without problems, is not without guilt, but you went beyond the pale, and now you're going to die.
Again, I'm sorry for misunderstanding your earlier post.
