Obama authorizes 'targeted airstrikes' in Iraq to counter militants.

I say we Nuke those crazy fckers from orbit and sell the glass to the liberal artists.

Oh come on.
Are there still people who believe muslims won't attack the US if we leave them alone?
I suppose history is not for everyone.

Don't get it twisted... Clearly they will eventually steer toward us or our interests. Until then, they are fighting each other out in the desert. If we are not going in all the way to win, don't get involved. This middle of the road stuff is what gets us in trouble. You can't half way fight someone and expect to get anywhere with that tactic. Look at Israel and Hamas. They are going to trade blows for eternity unless one of them goes all in and imposes their will.

This.
As I posted in another thread:

If Israel turned the whole middle east into a mirror, I wouldn't be too mad. Mostly just mad that we wasted so much time and money and so many lives there.

So just thinking out loud here... Before this, have we had any involvement with ISIS? I mean they had no reason to attack us at all until today right? They were busy waging their holy war in their local sandbox, but now with them being fairly well funded and growing quickly, I have to think we are now on their radar. I don't think Osama and his boys were ever as large or as well funded as these guys. Now what is to stop them from walking across our border down south and using 9/11 as their blueprint for more stuff like that? I don't see them attacking us as soldiers but attacking us from within, sure.

At least we gave those guys on the mountain in Iraq another few days to live over there.

They were directly threatening the US compound(s) in Erbil and the US Consulate there. Source: my old team on the ground there right now. We have a good US civilian presence in Erbil helping the Kurds out.
