World war 3

If the Islamic state gets a foothold, then apart from riding roughshod over any middle east country in it's way, it is committing genocide. That must be enough for us to intervene? We're not talking about one individual dictator to remove for oil purposes. We're talking about protecting human life - there can be nothing more important surely?!

If a significant Islamic sharia state is formed, it can only embolden other borderline extreme muslims to act and press for change where they live...

The message needs to be that religious dominance is not welcome anywhere on this beautiful planet... surely?

People wants most of all what works.

Unfortunately, the appearent failure of secular nationalism in protecting the interests and attaining the aspiration of the, for the lack of better world, islamdom, discredited secularism in the eyes of many Muslims and led to the resurgence of theocratic tendencies.

In reality, almost everything that allows those who lust for power to enjoy power is more important to the power seeker than some other human's life.

Never heard it expressed better. Well done.

The jihadists are mobilised, and have secured billions of dollars and much military hardware. The caliphate is their aim, the west is literally asleep to it all!

It is (IMHO) time to strike back in no uncertain terms...

Obama is a blocker for sure (as Is any mainstream politician!..) but someone needs to move and remove this onerous threat and ASAP !

The countries that supply them with the military hardware are the real problems. If they didn't sell them arms they wouldn't have too much to fight with. Then throw in the various folks who supply them with money
and you have a real mess on your hands. Eliminate those groups and and it'll be a lot easier to take out the terrorists. Since the dummies in the CIA are always supplying bad guys with guns and money it might be a good idea to start with them.

Most of the weapons mentioned by the OP (MiGs and tanks) were captured from the Syrian military -- and the Iraqi military, now.

I agree that we ought not be supplying arms to any Muslim rebels, anywhere, at any time.

No, it happens to be perfectly correct. What's your miniscule problem with what he said?

This is a regional problem not the first shots of the next global war. I think the US is obliged to help fight IS after the debacle of Iraqi Freedom. Cruise missiles, drones, and airstrikes paired with Special Forces and Forward Air Controllers is plenty if this is going to be a multilateral action.

So you are opposed to Israel as well as ISIS? We might agree on something after all.
