Flamethrowers and 3 other steps to stop ISIS

This is one of those times when I just hate being right but we are at a critical inflection point when it comes to confronting ISIS. Here we are living in the 21st century dealing with a 7th century ideological enemy and most “leaders” are running around afraid to define this enemy as to whom it is.

Let us remember that ISIS is the rising deadly phoenix of a reconstituted al-Qaida in Iraq — which had been defeated. However, when you base national security on empty campaign promises and intransigent ideology combined with cowardly rhetoric, this is the end result.

No, I will not sugar coat this. A year ago, ISIS was referred to as a “jayvee” team by a president who barely attended 47 percent of his intelligence briefings — quite a different statistic from hitting the golf course. A year ago ISIS had barely 3,000 fighters, today it commands vast swaths of territory and has a global recruitment network.

  1. I hope I am wrong, but as I see it we are totally screwed. We lack the will to win and have stopped using the word victory. IF we were serious about the matter, Congress would declare WAR against ISIS. Freeby hint here to the congress critters, if you were to bother to read the document called the Constitution, you will be shocked to learn that is in your job description and power to do so. Terms and conditions; would be unconditional surrender from ISIS. And, issue the following ultimatum: Surrender or we nuke Mecca off the face of planet earth. And when they don't, we do.

    1. Mecca, but don't forget Medina, that is another "holy" city to the mooslums, 'Nuke them from orbit, the only way to be sure..." I really think we just need to turn the whole sand box into glass. We can drill through glass.

  2. The gang could always use the weapon Eisenhower warned against Silent Sound
    mind control which Paul Simon wrote the lyrics based on this weapon. His father
    was part of the Military Industrial Complex which was where this weapon materialized.
    Supposedly, was used in Iraq.
