Gov. Scott Walker: Don't Rule Out 'Boots on the Ground' Against ISIS

Walker is correct, in fact we already have boots on the ground and are back at war, even if the left wont admit it.

Must be really heroic for you to offer up other peoples sons and daughters in some pathetic attempt at showing off your Conservative Bravado.

In other words its time to appeal to emotion. Right now in Iraq Obama is currently offering up other peoples sons and daughters in a pathetic attempt to show off his Liberal Bravado. :2wave:

Cool story bro.

Lets hope to God that people use their emotions in this as well as their brains. Take a look at some 22 year old kid who lost his leg or arm or eye fighting over there for heavens knows what and then ask if your own kid is worth it. Is that emotional? Bets your sweet ass it is and we need more of it. When lives are at stake of the people we live you would have be a twisted cold hearted psycho NOT to let your emotions enter the picture.
 
Yemen, Syria, Libya, much of North Africa, half of Iraq have all seen exponential growth in AQ and/or ISIS over the last few years. These threats will have to be dealt with again, the only debate is how big and powerful do we let the terrorists get before we do.

Democrats appear fine with letting it get much larger.

How much more genocide to you need to see before you come to the conclusion that evil must be stopped? How many more children beheaded for being Christian?

Your eagerness to put troops in harms way is not something to be proud of.

War should only be entered into if every other option has been exhausted.

Has America not offered up enough sons in your eyes?

How many more flag draped coffins are you willing to accept to fix a problem somewhere else.

I am not eager-I recognize that evil will not be appeased and it will make it worse to do so.

You fight until the war is won, not until liberals cry thats uncle.

So is it you or your kids that are going to go and die there or leave an arm or eye behind?
 
I don't think anyone would consider Canadians to be war mongers or neo-conservative "chickenhawks", so I think this national poll of Canadian attitudes as it relates to ISIS and what should be done may be of interest to those who question the threat.

Three Quarters (73%) of Canadians Support Use of Canadian Ground Troops in the War Against ISIS to Stop it From Gaining Own State | Ipsos

Most interesting note, for me, is that a full 60% of Canadians in the 18-34 demographic, the very people who would most likely serve in our forces deployed to the region, support having Canadian ground troops in Iraq as part of a coalition effort to stop ISIS.

It is has the Bill Clinton Afghanistan/Taliban/AQ policy feel to it. Take a few superficial but materially insignificant steps until terror hits home.

And only then-when the politics of the situation dictate are they willing to step in.

The left plays politics with our security every day.

Not nearly as bad as you offering up thousands of innocents to prove your Liberal cowardice.
 
Some wars can't be "won" in the traditional sense. That is a lesion that we should have learned from Viet Nam but, evidently, we don't learn so good.

The sectarian's in the Middle East have to settle this on their own. Until they decide that they need to stop killing other people on religious grounds there will be no peace. It seems that they only way those people are going to learn is by killing each other for a year or so and then they might see that the preaching of the radicals (e.g., the Wahhabis) has no place in any religion.

God: Thou shalt not kill

Satan: Kill, but do it in God's name
 
So is it you or your kids that are going to go and die there or leave an arm or eye behind?

What branch of service are your kids serving in?

"These threats"? Threats to whom?

It's called reality. We either have serious threat to our national security or not. If we do.....we should do whatever it takes to handle it....even if it means boots on the ground. As for sending our youth off to battle....that pretty much how it's always been done...unless you think it's viable to send middle aged and senior citizens to the front lines. The use of the term "chicken hawk" is small minded and cowardly.

Exactly. World War 2 occurred largely because the rest of the world appeased Hitler rather then confronting him early on.
 
Walker is correct, in fact we already have boots on the ground and are back at war, even if the left wont admit it.

Where in the constitution does it say we should defend Iraq or Syria with American lives? Where does it say that we should fund the defense of Iraq or Syria?
 
YOu bet your life it is.

And will you? Or will you bet some other kids life?

I'm betting that if the terrorists start regularly attacking us on American soil, you would be among the first to scream: "Why didn't we stop them overseas?!"
