Was Saddam a terrorist threat to the US? Was he chopping American heads off? No. The one war where we actually went after terrorists, in Afghanistan, had broad public support. Liberals opposition to war under Bush wasn't nearly as simplistic as you guys like to believe.
So I guess you believe that we need to actually win the war, with boots on the ground, lots of spilled blood and treasure? Because that's what it will take. Air power will do almost nothing.

I don't expect to destroy them, which would certainly require US troops on the ground, and I don't think ISIS is enough of an immediate threat to us to justify a ground war. If they become a threat to the west on part with Al qaeda, there will be more support for dealing with them more actively.
So I guess you believe that we need to actually win the war
