-- The ISIS terror group has published a video titled "A second message to America," showing the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff. Those ISIS guys don't realize that we're sending a message to them. "We've got lots more MSNBC and CNN reporters where those came from."
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

In a RWE world, a bunch of guys that no one would ever know of, that have no desire for a book deal, and no reason other than their own would already have these ISIS guys at sand temperature and would be drinking beer while discussing truck tires and dogs.

(Feb 2014)Thirty years ago this week, President Ronald Reagan made perhaps the most purposeful and consequential foreign-policy decision of his presidency. Though he never said so explicitly, he ended America's military commitment to a strategic mistake that was peripheral to America's interests. Three-and-a-half months after the bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 U.S. military personnel -- and after repeatedly pledging not to do so -- Reagan ordered the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Lebanon. As Gen. Colin Powell later aptly summarized this military misadventure: "Beirut wasn't sensible and it never did serve a purpose. It was goofy from the beginning."
What was particularly remarkable about Reagan's bold decision was its rarity. Presidents often authorize using force or deploying troops to achieve some discrete set of political and military objectives. When they prove incapable of doing so with the initial resources and political support, the mission can be scaled back in its scope, enlarged to achieve additional missions, or, the atypical choice, terminated. The latter option requires having the ability to recognize failure, and political courage to end a U.S. military commitment. In large part, it is a combined lack of strategic awareness and political courage that explains many U.S. military disasters. To understand how Ronald Reagan successfully pulled this off, it is worth reviewing and remembering the strategic mistake that was the U.S. military deployment to Lebanon in the midst of that country's wrenching civil war.

Let me know when this country has some leadership.
Then we can talk war.
Travis A good move would be to put well armed Kurd boots on the ground with lots of American air power. There has already been some success with the limited effort so far. King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has been talking tough and warning US how close the ISIS is to striking over here. OK, let the Good King put his money where his mouth is and some of his troops on the ground. Strong American Leadership could rally those, besides US, who also have so much to lose. I ain't holding my breath.

Soon alla the people 'in the know' will be yelling false flag, and blaming it on Israel. I don't believe a word of this schit.

He and Egypt have been making bi-lateral strikes against them in Libya. We'll see more. The U.A.E. is also involved.

Our first response should be to blockade our borders to be sure that they can't come here. Then throw all of our assets into finding the ones who are already here.

Then throw all of our assets into finding the ones who are already here. 100% - all this - if they are coming here or if they are here already - then dammit to hell - lets get that [bleep] straightened out - quit trying to fight them by the boatload in the sand in whatever god forsaken country they are living like gypsies in this year. Lets catch 'em, send them to Texas and make a few execution videos of our own and quit worrying about what they do in the sandlot across the ocean. Blowing them up by the truckload ain't gonna do [bleep] to stop the ones intent on coming over here. Matter of fact, it just makes more of 'em sign up.

Sooner or later, ISIS is going to figure out that if they post a video of them beheading an American woman, Obama will scream like a little girl.

Keep the stupid azz politics out of it and let our soldiers do what their trained to do, kick the livin' schit out of anyone who wants to kill Americans.
Not gonna happen with the white-boy in office. Have fun ISIS. Or ISIL. Or WTF they call you. Travis I'm afraid you are correct Travis, my fear is if we do get involved the jackazzes we have running the show will inject politics and stupid rules of engagement and do nothin but get our boys killed to accomplish nothing.

Philippines, late 1800's, Black Jack Pershing lined up Muzzie extremists, shot them, poured pig blood and guts on the carcasses, let one Muzzy live to tell the story. No problems out of that sector for years.
Politically correct, soft glove handling of that element is just asking for trouble. They only understand power and resolve. They see indecision as weakness and respond accordingly.
We can't seem to learn from history.
