What ISIS wants--Atlantic article

[Aloha_Shooter]

Listened to Obama's press conference this morning and it was sad just how thick he was. You would think even someone as dense and ideological as he is would get the message when even the left-wing press is asking him repeatedly how his tepid response to ISIS would change, how he's going to guarantee the safety of Americans by importing military-age males from Syria, etc. Any one of the Republican candidates would be a better commander-in-chief than any of the morons running as a Democrat (or the ones waiting in the wings) but I hope to God that whoever wins makes Allen West the SecDef or National Security Adviser. Better yet, make him Secretary of State so he can repeat his blog entries to the faces of the supercilious anti-American a-holes at the UN (and State Department).

Thick? I suspect he knows who's side he's on ... and it ain't ours.

I can save everyone a bunch of time on reading that article by answering the question it's title poses: What ISIS Really Wants? A Global Caliphate. Every man, woman, child subservient to their rule. Islam means "To Submit" and that's what they want. Convert, die or live under their law while paying a non-Muslim tax. And it's coming here in the form of the Syrian Refugees. Interesting connotation I heard this morning: You get 10 apples, 2 are poisoned. Do you eat them? That's exactly what we're doing here.

I still don't see why it wouldn't have been better to set up a safe zone in Syria protected by the US and NATO where the Syrian refugees could have stayed IN SYRIA with both ISIS and Assad told to keep the hell out or we will empty our ordnance bunkers on them. Good chance to cycle out all that "expiring ammunition" while containing the danger of all those military-age males who are apparently well enough to travel to other countries while not being able to protect their own people.

^^^Shouldn't we be arming and training Syrians to kill each other at home in the name of stopping the spread of radical Islam. How does allowing military age men from Syria who appose radical Islam to walk away make this a better world? The people who actually live there will have a much better chance of stopping tyrannical lunatics from inside there own country. How will it ever work when we have to send in U.S. boots a year or two from now when radical Islam owns the entire country because anyone opposing them is gone.

The only way I see this working is if after everyone who opposes radical Islam is gone we turn the entire country to glass.
