re: ISIS is not a threat to the U.S.

ISIS isn't a threat but colonoscopies are, gotcha.

The facts.

90 percent of Americans are morons.

ISIL is no direct threat to the US. But they are evil and evil sometimes needs to kicked in the balls and reminded how temporary their life really is.

you're missing a way bigger point. this isn't just about ISIS (who, by the way will kill you and me and everyone else who doesn't agree with every bit of their own beliefs).

it's about all those who sympathize with them; all extremists that pose a threat or potential threat. And yes, ISIS is a potential threat, not just to the US but also globally.

remember, they were beheading our citizens long before we started air strikes targeting them. So you could certainly say that a goal of theirs is to decimate our way of thinking and way of life. Another way of saying this is that they do, in fact, want to attack the US.

and prior to 9/11, "experts" wouldn't have thought the al qaeda was an absolutely imminent threat. Information fell through cracks, etc, due to complacency, I suppose

It's hindsight that ends up putting the pieces together, and that's the reason why we are forced to take these things seriously, and that's why we have no choice but to take the offensive in these situations

and that's why were back into another war, when initially our president said there would be no more war even though various advisers told him that pulling out too soon would be a mistake.



(fwiw: pulling out too soon is always a mistake......zing)
