You mean a man-caused disaster?

these guys are no different than any other man made hate driven machine.
My point was....do we wait for another 6 million or learn our lesson from history?
I thought my point was obvious. I apologize because it was not.

Thanks for the reply. I don't see it as much a nazi-type regime as I do a Stalinist-type regime. Supreme repression of all potential subversive activity.

I do not.

I believe the only way to defeat ISIS is what you have suggested. I also believe there is no political will for such an effort.

When would you support a large-scale US combat involvement? Ever?

Beat me to it.
Don't be confused. I would support a large scale effort emphasizing an all out offensive against these guys right where they live. Right in the middle of Iraq. I would hope it would include the Brits and Germany et al. I also believe that it should be an "all out air war" to begin. Then after softening, go back to the plan I proposed before. An Allied style base in the middle of Irag. You can do the math from there......
Sitting on our asses is not doing any good and Americans are still having their heads cut off while Obama twiddles his thumbs.

ya know, BO, Biden and Hillary's inaction is the same thing as sanctioning it.
In that circle, that is exactly what that means.

I believe many were hoping that following the mid-terms we might do a lot more towards curbing this crisis, that it was a delay due to politics. It's still only been a couple weeks, but chances are as most already knew, we have a wimp for a leader who would rather be a coward and let it fall on his successor's watch.
Expect two more years of the same, unless by then ISIS has attacked us here at home full-out. Now wouldn't that be nice?

The entire German army consists of than 65,000 troops. It is unlikely they would be of any help.
