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

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)
