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

They're already generating over $3 million/day off the oil wells they captured. Al Quaeda pulled off 9/11 with fewer than 50 people and $500k.

It amazes me when people say "such and such isn't a threat." 9/11 wasn't just a bunch of dead civilians, it changed the game of what a threat is. That's why 13 years later we're having our struggle over privacy vs security, because now we know with 19 hijackers you can kill a shite load of people.

How we react and move as a society forward with that knowledge from a security and privacy standpoint is still a matter of debate, but a group such as ISIS is objectively a threat to the homeland. Should we be starting wars over it is a different question.
