re: Obama approves killing of civilians in fight vs. ISIL

I totally get what you are saying, but these dudes are bad people. They took our one boogeyman (Al Qaeda) and made them their bitch. They've done what Al Qaeda could only hope to accomplish in the past 15 years, and did it in a matter of months.

What we are seeing is pretty fascinating. They have some pretty technically savvy people running their propaganda, using social media as their platform. I mean, LiveLeaks, of ALL places, has begun to filter out videos from ISIS. For LiveLeaks to do that is kind of unprecedented, considering they love them some mexican cartel chainsaw beheadings.

ISIS has been pretty straight forward about what they are wanting to accomplish. And they aren't afraid to show it, either. They don't forget what we've done there...and any action we take - whether it's just leave or continue bombing, is only going to fuel the fire.

So what do we do...pick up shop and leave so they can continue their sacking of villages, raping, killing, and committing genocide? If we do, they vow to grow stronger (which they've shown to do, immediately after we left Iraq) and chances are that they'd try to pull some shite here. Or, do we continue fighting, and create more branches of terrorism? Do we bomb them, and hope to frick that more people (not just the Kurds) rise up and get out of the "I must be ruled" mentality?

It's quite the clusterfrick.
