The OP should be the first set of boots on the ground. And anyone like him. If you want to fight, go do it. Stop demanding others do it while you armchair QB events 1,000s of miles away.
So how does the number of North Americans killed by marauding Muslims compare with the number of Muslims maimed, murdered, displaced, and incarcerated by greedy Christians in the current century?For whom do you imagine "boots on the ground worked very well in Iraq?" Certainly not the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis who have died since March of 2003? Maybe you're referring to the millions of Iraqis who have become displaced since that time? IS would not even exist today absent the US invasion of Iraq, and your solution is to repeat the same action that enabled the extremists to come to power? Which side are you on...Halliburton's?Because "boots on the ground" worked so well in Iraq? It's time to break up the military industrial congressional complex and start spending war money on domestic needs:Yeah. Everybody is war weary. Oh yeah. Well, that's been the popular thought for a few years now (even though there's been less deaths in Iraq/Afghanistan over 13 years, than a single World War II battle). Well, I'm afraid to say folks, that little notion has very quickly gone out of style. As they used to say in college, "form follows function" Well, the function now has changed from "Bush just wants to get oil", and "Obama will get us out of there", to "fight them there now, or fight them here very soon." Every national security expert agrees that ISIS fully intends to attack the US, once it accomplishes it's goals in the Middle East. Looking at all the relevant variables, it's hard to make the case that they couldn't attack here, and impose massive genocide + massive structural damage. Guess what folks > The "war weary" era is now over.
ISIS has tons of money (to purchase bombs, nukes, biological weapons, gas, and bribe traitors). On top of that, the "Open Target" (name of the book that former Homeland Security Inspector General, Clark Kent Ervin wrote a few years ago) hasn't gotten much less open, since Ervin wrote that book. Have the ports gotten better since Lou Dobbs exposed their vulnerable status? (5% of shipping containers being inspected) Are water treatment plants (containing Chlorine tanks) any better secured than they have been (with a lone unarmed, security guard). Do all citizens have gas masks ? Are all streets surveilled with street camera/recorders ? Do we even come close to the level of security that is practiced routinely in Israel ?
Many more questions than these could be asked, and all with the same qualitative result. That we in America, are not well prepared for a well-organized, well-financed military force, coming here and attacking us, with 2014 methodology.
Conclusion ? Time for Obama to get past the 2007 notion of removing troops from the Middle East and "no boots on the ground" which got him elected in 2008, and get up to speed. This is 2014. There is a real threat to America talking place before our eyes, and this is no time to play political games, or cling to outdated mantras. Obama's "no boots on the ground" is as dead as a doornail. The US needs to go after ISIS in Iraq, in Syria, and wherever they are, and obliterate them, and we need to do it with whatever it takes, and it looks that that includes ground troops, and we need to do it NOW.
"The total debt of all state governments in the U.S. is now $130 billion.
"The U.S. will spend $170 billion on our wars in Iraq-Afghanistan-Pakistan this year.
Forty-six states in the US today are in fiscal crisis.
"We must demand that our Congressional delegation vote against any further war spending and that they become leaders in the Congress on this important issue.
"We must also urge all elected officials (local, state, and federal) to speak out against continued war spending... demand that we Bring Our War $$ Home now.
Bring Our War Home
YES, because boots on the ground worked very well in Iraq. That's right. Iraq was under control of the Iraq govt supported by US troops. It remained that way until the troops left. THEN, things went awry, as ISIS moved into the vacuum.
And if you ignore the ISIS threat, you'll be bringing the war home all right. With nuclear bombs, poison gas, and deadly biological agents sweeping through American cities.
Haliburton is an outdated, long overused ploy. Don't be ridicuolous. As for ISIS, they don't need a US invasion of Iraq. They've got the Koran. The marauding Muslims who killed 270 million non-Muslims around the world didn't need a "US invasion of Iraq" for their attacks, did they ?

When will you be signing up to go? You could probably go join the Iraqi army and give them a hand.
It's not our fight. They are a threat to Turkey - let Erdogan send in his army. ISIS would be gone in a week.
Or let the Saudis do some bombing runs with the F-16s that we sold them.
Or the Egyptians with the F-16s we sold them.
Or the Jordanians, with the F-16s we sold them.
Get it?
What I get is that we already letting all those countries do that. We're not stopping them. But do you see them doing it ?
As for me I was "signing up" in April 1964, and served 5 years, until 1969. Frankly, if the USA would let me, I WOULD go there and fight, but the consensus is I'm too old now. But I did it when I was young.
"I think it's going to turn out maybe this weekend in a new special that Brett Baer is going to have Friday that's gonna show some of those weapons from Benghazi ended up in the hands of ISIS. So we helped build ISIS."Interesting article on ISIS
The Covert Origins of ISIS
Would it interest you to know who helped these psychopaths rise to power? Would it interest you to know who armed them, funded them and trained them? Would it interest you to know why?
The Covert Origins of ISIS UPDATED 9.03.14 SCG News
After having served 5 years in the Army, you don't get to call me "pussy", and I do get to call You >>I suggest you just hide under your bed, you pussy.Not at all like it. Because the Vietnamese were no threat to America. ISIS is.
Yep, we need to, but the thing that will be hardest is convincing Muslims that the Earth is not theirs to rule alone with their religion forced upon the human inhabitants...
Perhaps you could stop invading Muslim lands, supporting mass murder of Muslims and stop all the hate shit.
There were no attacks on the US by Muslims until you started to interfere and kill them.
Now, I await the Barbary pirates to come up. One idiot always tries to point that out, but neglects to mention many were Christians and Jews, and it was just piracy, not just targeted at America.

Map of the Nations Defeated by King David Bible History Online
David conquered Jerusalem from the Jebusites and made it his capital and center of worship. He expanded his kingdom by victories over the Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, and Edomites, and suppressed many rebellions.
What, the Jews weren't always there, they stole it in the first place.
What the fuck are you moaning about?
No they're not. We are not well equipped or set up to repel a 2014 type of invasion. We'd have 9-11s, Boston Marathons, and Fort Hoods going on all over the place, intermixed with suicide bombers, and quite possibly nuclear bombs going off too. You want all that ? Better to obliterate this cancer over in the ME.If Isis wants war with us. They're welcome to invade.
There is a gun behind every blade of grass. The libs will love us gun owners when they huddle up behind us as we mow down any ISIS invasions on main street USA
-Geaux
Nice thought, but plenty of people in Boston were armed the day of the Boston Marathon bombings. The Tsanaev boys still succeeded in pulling off a bombing. The Beltway sniper killed 19 people. And guns in their pockets didn't help the victims of 9-11. Or the London and Madrid subway bombings, or the gas attack in Japan.
And your point?
-Geaux
I did not attack anyone in Vietnam, and neither did the American people, whose Congress never declared war there. And the threat to America, is NOT because of America attacking anywhere. It is because of the Koran and the lunatics who subscribe to its madness. Attacks against America are not "hits back". They are a continuation of the moronic, and insane jihad that has been going on for 1400 years.Not at all like it. Because the Vietnamese were no threat to America. ISIS is.
You attacked Vietnam, murdering thousands of people and, when you attacked Muslim countries, you laid the seeds for fools such as IS.
The threat to America, is purely because America attacked first.
Like all bullies, you cry when someone hits back.
And wait for ISIS to arrive HERE in America, only much stronger, due to the increased wealth and power they are gaining with every passing day. Is that what I understand you to be saying ?US Needs to Send Ground Troops to Fight ISIS, NOW.
No we need to butt out.
Yeah they'll load up their Atlantic fleet and steam on over lol.
His point? More war, more government, more surveillence, report your neighbors; you know what a paradise East Germany was, they had nothing to fear from world wide terror.Nice thought, but plenty of people in Boston were armed the day of the Boston Marathon bombings.

There or HERE. I'll choose there.No----there is no reason to spill US blood there. NONE.There or HERE. I'll choose there.No----there is no reason to spill US blood there. NONE.
