So your point about not bombing ISIS is mute. They will use some excuse to attack, so what really is your point?

Says that those attacks on WTC are because of unconditional support of Israel and Saudi Arabian military bases.

My position is that ISIS, the terrorist scums that they are, have a higher moral ground to attack after Israel too committed war crimes in Gaza. Should they attack we allies join in the retaliation effort with NATO. The concern being: We are all duped from God's children to take action in their favor! If we do not become aware of this then it may prove that they are right too!
 
Will IS attack America? How should I know?

All I know about them is that I read somewhere that they are "relatively well-equipped and trained" on military matters, not least because many of Saddam's ex-militaries joined them. Is that even relevant for their capacity to attack America on its ground? I have no idea. The Arabs on 9/11 did it with fewer equipment.

At any rate, I am not fond of the catchphrase of the "war on terror" at all. The problem I see with this term is that it is so vague and leaves the government so much leeway, that this war may never end if the government decides so. But all the extreme and often questionable measures the government takes, including massive expansion of executive power, should never become permanent, else there is a slippery slope into tyranny. That's why I prefer better defined goals, such as a "war on ISIS". The government shouldn't have too easy a time abusing its power.
 
ISIS is beheading people in many other countries that have nothing to do with us.

ISIS is attacking to take over territory that we have no business to be in.

The fact is you are defending the indefensible. We are going to go back in, get used to it.
So you want more Americans to die then? OK.

Who attacked first? Us or ISIS?

Has ISIS threatened to attack Israel, or just the US?
 
If you're so gung ho about it, why aren't you signing up and pledging to pay more taxes to fund it?

ISIS could attack us....just like Russia could nuke us.

I'd rather spend the money helping to get republicans elected, much easier to actually handle the nations defense when appeasing chumps like the dems aren't in power. November will be fun.
 
Predictable.

Install fear (this time through terrorism), blame it on Democrats, and move in with the cure of Republicans. Wanted to let you know that this is predictable even for someone not living in USA.

Its a lefty archetype, but this isn't a conspiracy. Thats really ISIS, thats really Boko, and thats really a chump in the whitehouse. No worries though, my country will do what it will, as will yours. I can't say I care about your nations policies.

The last time the GOP voted to go to war we ended up with 4,000+ dead, trillions spent and putting our #1 enemy in the Middle East as the dominant regional power.

And you think electing Republicans for more of that is a good idea? Please, tell me why.

You haven't answered the question. How are we going to pay for another adventure? Will you pay more taxes? Will you volunteer? How about we send you with a rifle with a one way ticket?

November might sting for you. Just saying.
 
Why are you incapable of answering a single question?

I get that you're a raging extreme partisan, but you're not doing yourself any favors by cowardly running from questions.

The facts we know are that ISIS is openly planning attacks against the US, and if it takes the kurdish region from the kurds-WILL force Iran into a broader regional conflict. Bad guys are bad, bad guys who further destabilize the region are even worse.

Now your opinion on this is immaterial, we are going back, and in light of the threats of attack on the US, we are right to do so.
After the next attack in the US, you will tell us how we deserved it anyway. Not good enough.

How are they going to take the Kurdish autonomous area? The second ISIS encounters an air force it gets smashed. And the Peshmerga got pushed back because they were spread thin. Furthermore, Iran actually has a clear benefit from stopping ISIS as the Sunnis that largely make it up have no love for the Persian Shiaa. It's an odd turn of events that Russian, Iranian and US assets are cooperating against a common enemy. Not sure that has ever happened in history.

You're still running from these questions:

I'm going to keep re-posting them until you answer. And if you fail I will make a note of your constant failure.

That would be off topic. But curious, what do you know about my nations policies that you do not care as much?

I agree.

I mean to resort to kidnapping, detaining innocent people for years, killing innocent civilians, torture and de-stabilizing entire regions is horrible.

Oh...you are talking about ISIS?

I thought you were talking about American foreign policy since 9/11.
 
What is effective against terrorism is a military presence and the will to use them to kill terrorists. When the cats away...

What's more effective is forgiveness and turning the other cheek. At least in the Middle East. Homegrown terrorism will Always be a threat though no matter what we do and how we do it.
