ISIS Beheads Steven Sotloff.....

Full on war over two American journalists? Obama would never.

America no longer has the economy or the will to go to war with anyone.

The American military has been so cut back, it cannot fulfill our current military support treaty obligations.

The only countries wealthy enough to address ISIS in any way are China, Japan and South Korea.

I don't think she meant anything negative by her comments. It was just an observation and the lengths friends had to go to to hide it from those who would do him harm.

Yes, this is exactly what I meant. What would Sotloff's captors have done to him had they known?
 
nota bene said:
There are more beheadings to come, but as I said earlier in the thread, this may well backfire.

Besides, after they behead a woman and then a baby or two, what's left to shock the world?

Mounting an offense against them should be easy. They can't play the "it's a religious war" card being that they have a bloody trail of executed Muslims in their wake either.
 
No, I don't suppose they can.

The US has stockpiled thousands of high tech weapons that are waiting to be used. When they run out of these then they can start to be concerned.

Clearly you know nothing of war logistics or national economics.

The point is moot, because this president won't get involved because of his true allegiances.

America has never been so vulnerable.

This is the result of shameful weakness. Only fools could have watched this sorry excuse for a President fawn and dither and apologize for five years, and not seen it was an open invitation to war crimes like this.

I don't doubt that these people are trying to goad the U.S. into striking them. But if they think that would gain them anything, they are even more deluded than they seem. If done right, it might lose them everything. I think this is a great opportunity to inflict such a crushing, humiliating defeat on a jihadist group, on such a large scale, as to take all the luster off the very idea of jihad--maybe for good. And that is why President Limpwrist will probably miss it.

The rumors have been around for years that he was quite a hit in the Chicago bath houses.

That's another problem with Islam - death to them is some sort of "reward."

So how do you deal with a bunch of wackos who think being martyred is some sort of reward?

The only way to deal with these nuts is to murder each and every single one of these radicals in as a brutal fashion anyone can think of.

We should arrange for all of them to go to their reward as quickly as possible. Kill them, then pour pig's blood and pig offal on the bodies.

Obama has been president for 6 years now. During his presidency, did he or did he not support terrorists and fundamentalist extremist groups in Egypt, Libya, and Syria? Has he not ignored at least a years worth of build up and intel on ISIS?

Funny how leftists have no problem blaming Bush for everything during his presidency, but when it comes to Obama...dood has ZERO responsibility...for ANYTHING.
Click to expand...
Why blame Obama? He has been fund raising, vacationing, partying, golfing....he has little to no time to do anything except have his regime spy upon every American and harass Conservatives and other patriots.

He's definitely a hawk in every sense. One that makes no sense. So glad he never made prez. He'd have us at war with ourselves just to have a war.

I believe Obama has claimed that task for himself.
 
Wiggen said:
How do you know a phone call would fix it? and yes, we know about Obama's contempt for the military. Just ask Bergdahl.
Click to expand...
Or ask the military. Bergdahl, a deserter, was exchanged for five Islamofascist generals. This was a poke at the military and it helped Obama's Islamofascist buddies.
 
Wiggen said:
And you think that if Bergdahl hadn't 'deserted' (and by the way, he has not been charged with desertion - as a former legal officer - one of my many collateral duties in the service - I can tell you that in order to be guilty of desertion, it has to be established that there was no intention to return. Otherwise it is AWOL), Obama wouldn't have tried to get him back? What proof do you have of that?

Bergdahl isn't my flavor of the month as an American soldier, but he was an American soldier held by the enemy. And Obama got him back.

PS I can also tell you that, given my knowledge of the UCMJ, getting a conviction for desertion on Bergdahl would be next to impossible.

But he is a deserter...whether one can prove it or not.

No. Republicans throwing childish temper tantrums and choosing all the way back in 2008 to block every and all legislation isn't a war. It's just stupidity.

I am sure your kind would make up **** about anyone who gets released back to America if the negotiations involve Obama and his Administration. If it were Sotloff instead of Bergdahl, then he would have been a punk-assed traitor journalist who was dumb enough to go there. I just ****ing know it.

We call obstructing the other person's drive to totalitarianism good politics. I prefer for government to do practically nothing rather than turn the productive people into mere chattel.

Uh-huh. I love your leaps of imagination. Have you considered creative writing?

That may well be true- but in Bergdahl's case, the accusation that he is a deserter, and at least a borderline traitor, is accurate. Get over it.

The disrespect to their corpses would make you little better than they are. Think about it.

Go a link? It's the first I have heard it to be 100% accurate.

That's an interesting point. Why would Barrack Obama negotiate with terrorists to have a military deserter released, who apparently had no fear of decapitation, while not negotiating for the two American journalists?
