There was no point to that cartoon.
ISIS aka The Islamic State

I'll do it then. Not only are they the JV squad, but they don't even know the game they're playing. Social media? Well funded through western banks? Pissing off not only the U.S. But every regional power as well? Obama isn't going to hand over the keys to the Middle East to Assad. I'm thinking Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia are about to become major players in the mess. Any ISIS fighter not located and destroyed by way of Twitter, drones, and ruthless shelling will spend the rest of his miserable existence in an Egyptian interrogation chamber.

ISIS just made its biggest mistake by going after Saudi royalty. The Sauds will spend BIG money to end that group.
Correct. And we are no longer under the illusion that the Middle East needs Jeffersonian Democracy. Stability is all that can truly be manufactured.

Annoy a conservative....Think for yourself
Uh, I think the real blame lies with Bush and Cheney since they destabilized the entire middle east with their excellent adventure.
I agree. But doesn't really matter now. America's interests lie in eradicating ISIS and replacing it with stability...no matter how ugly that stability is.

Oh, I see...do something like what Bush and Co. did after 9-11?? Rush to invade a country based on incorrect information without careful assessment beforehand, arbitrarily arresting and imprisoning people, torturing some others, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, and deposing the one man who's kept the country stable -- wasting of billions of dollars and wrecking the domestic economy at the same time?? Oh, yeah...that worked so well last time.

Short term memory is a terrible thing to lose. Of course Oldie and luck they don't have any to begin with. All the evil in the world started the day Obama raised his hand and took the oath in January of 2009.

In 2001 when Bush inherited a mess from Clinton if you want to dig up history? And Bush did take action after the attacks (with the support of Democrats).

The point of that cartoon , for those that don't get it, is.....how many more American's heads need to fall before there's anything done? The only strategy by Odumbo is what club to play on the 4th hole.

It really is amazing that YOU and the others never seem to connect the decisions made 10 years ago to the problems today.

Its amazing how you have such a selective memory.
Where on earth are you getting all this? I support what Obama is doing. Much like what he did in Libya, "Leading from behind" is what we should be doing unless we intend to stay indefinitely and run a puppet state. Stability in the region is in our interest and we can leave our moral platitudes on the rack.
Yes. But it was better at cost to the US. Once the US stopped paying the bills--like we said we were going to--all hell broke loose.

And we refused to learn a single thing about that misadventure...I guess we needed to make our own mistakes.
