re: WH last week: Not at war with ISIS; this week: USA will destroy ISIS

This is a terrible response. The President of the United States and his security advisors should not only have a strategy on how to deal with ISIL but on every potential threat. The fact that they failed to see this threat developing is a massive failure on their part. Thankfully they have not been able to hit us here yet. Hopefully the administration will begin to take this threat much more seriously.

Past week: 20 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq

Week before: 30 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq

Week before that: 49 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq

And you're bitching about messaging?

Informed people should know better. They should understand that ISIS was helped along by the US from 2007-present. So the 'message' is only intended for confusion since Americans can't even differentiate a Sunni from a Shiite.

Allow the Syrian Army, Hezbollah and Iranians to decimate them, like they did in round #1 in Syria, albeit under a different name, FSA/Al Nusra.

BTW, the US trained a bunch of these ISIS guys in Jordan and Turkey in 2012.... LINK ....Essentially we helped finance and train, along with our Wahhabi allies in the Gulf (SA, Qatar, etc), this rabid group of barbarians.

Do nothing, give ISIS nothing, let them starve to death and/or allow Hezbollah to crush them.
