So now ground wars in Iraq are considered good again? Is this why warmonger Rice polled the best for US Senate in California? Make the stupid stop.

Bill O'Reilly called for a "holy war". The ISIS recruitment posters will just write themselves.

Oh the insanity.

Fighting ISIS on the ground will not make them go away. ISIS will simply return to being the  guerrilla insurgency it was before last year. Meanwhile the lone wolf terrorism in the West will continue unabated.  What it will do is drive more civilians in these areas into the arms of ISIS, like it did the first time. ISIS wants another 'crusade', don't give it to them.

The US has to support the local government's efforts, not get anymore involved themselves.

    I remember in 2006 when Israel invaded Lebanon in an effort to wipe out Hezbollah. It was an unmitigated failure; while they dominated militarily, Hezbollah survived and rebuilt almost immediately. I guess 57% don't remember that.

They also seem to have forgotten that the Iraq war took a country that even the Bush administration's State Department admitted that Al Qaeda wasn't active in, and managed to get a group worse than Al Qaeda in power. Everyone who supported that war should be begging for forgiveness.

I would support a fairly short term effort, but another 10 year ordeal should be out of the question.

I wonder what percent of U.S. citizens would support nuking Mecca.

I wonder what percent of US citizens could find Mecca on a globe.


The second percentage is probably lower.
