50 soldiers killed in ISIS attack on Egyptian Army's Sinai checkpoints

Yes, it is evil.
What would you have Obama and his administration do about it?

I would have negotiated keeping U.S troops in Iraq to prevent ISIS from gaining a foothold in that country and then becoming embolden like they have.
 
What do you want, America to occupy any country rife with ISIS and blast anything that looks at the US funny?

You ignore the threat until thousands of Americans are killed, just like what was done prior to 9/11, that seems to be the liberal policy

With time travel not yet being invented, as far as I know, what would you like to happen in the future?

I would like our troops to regain the territory lost in Iraq by destroying ISIS there and then not elect an incompetent replacement liberal President to keep the peace that was won in Iraq. Burying your head in the sand has led to the creation and growth of ISIS. I had three family members in Iraq and not one of them is an Obama supporter.

OK, and I would have stayed out of Iraq to begin with.

But, the past is not mutable. The situation is what it is. So, what should be done about ISIS having attacked Egypt now?

Destroy ISIS where they are the strongest, Iraq and Syria. Denying the existence of evil led to 9/11 and had we been proactive it never would have happened

So, you would send US troops into Egypt, Iraq, Syria?

Would you have Congress declare war on ISIS, then, and put the country on a war footing to go in and destroy them?

Then, what about AlQaeda, Al Shabaab, and the Taliban? Would you have us go to destroy them as well?

How long did your family members serve? And would they like to go back to Iraq? I am loathe to send a significant number of U.S. troops back into an area where we spent a decade - much of that training and equipping a police force to handle these issues on their own...only to see more than 50% of that equipment eventually get abandoned/captured by the new enemy. And that is not to mention, placing U.S. troops into a completely different country where a massive civil war is currently occurring.

Like Jon Stewart said, "When it comes to the middle east, learning curves are for ******s."

In Fundamentalist Right Wing Conservative land, the US is supposed to be at war with the entire Middle East (and northern Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan if that's what it takes).

Oh, and America needs to lower its spending.

two tours by one and one by the other. Do you think the military equipment lost in Iraq would have happened had Obama negotiated a peace keeping force there?

What is it about liberalism that creates people who always judge others by their own standards and ignores that evil exists

No, America is responsible for protecting our own interests and it isn't in our interest to have ISIS stronger and growing.

At what cost?

We lost almost 7000 Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan and spent somewhere around $5 Trillion, most under George Bush's watch, and we aren't any safer from "Evil ®"...

...today then we were a decade and a half ago.

If you don't have a better plan than "Well heck ol' hoss, we'll just defeat "Evil ®" wherever we find it" you can peddle that kind of idiot bull**** somewhere else.

Yes, you are right, political correctness cost us the lives and the trillions and always will. You fight wars to win not to be politically correct. It was the Bush surge that turned the tide and won the war, it was the Obama policies that lost the peace. Had we been proactive in prior to 2000 9/11 wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have gone into Iraq in the first place. The problem with people like you is you always react mostly negatively instead of being proactive and preventing attacks on this country. How is having ISIS getting stronger a good thing for this country?

This is evil people, what is Obama and this Administration doing about it??

Yes, it is evil.

What Obama has done about it is exactly what the previous administration did about it, however, and that is to contribute to the situation that unleashed it. His was more a general encouragement rather than a direct invasion, but the removal of the strong-armed leaders of these primitive societies is what unleashes this crap. Bush toppled Hussein quite directly. Obama welcomed the Arab spring most naively. Both had the net result of removing the corks on the bottles of champagne that kept all this revolting bubbly from pouring out.

Actually that is exactly what GW Bush did before 911. Ignored the threats like “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” and went on vacation at his ranch instead. Are you saying you know of similar credible threats that Obama is ignoring?

Had you received the following what would you have done? Then based upon the world intelligence AFTER 9/11 what would you have done?

It is horrible. But there is nothing the U.S. can do about ISIS that countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia can't do. Egypt has an excellent military and Saudi Arabia has plenty of money. I am all for helping those who can't help themselves. But this isn't such a case.

I am not ignoring the threat. I understand fully well that ISIS is a threat. What I am not behind is giving the Government more of my tax dollars for an effort that will just create more terrorists.
