There is always at least two sides to any argument: Should the U.S. go to war for real (100%) against ISIS/ISIL??? If we don't will they see us as weak and easily attacked??? Should we just bomb the hell out of them (you and I know we won't get them all and some civilians will die s well, just like WWII) and hope for the best??? Or, do we arm their enemies and hope they don't turn on us??? I'm sure there are other options!!! I think we should remember what they will do to Americans if we do nothing... Don D.

The Face of Evil Is ISIS!!!


(TPNN) – “ISIS is not Islamic”, said Barack Obama as he gave yet another vapid speech to say what he will or will not do next about the threat of Islam. What he said is both idiotic and a lie. ISIS calls itself the Islamic State.

Obama used the word “war” only once, but ISIS is all about war—an Islamic holy war that has been waged since 632 AD.

The one person neither named, nor blamed is the so-called prophet, Mohammad, yet everything being done by the jihadists today is being done in his name.

In his memoir, “Dreams from my Father”, Obama, in the preface to its second edition, wrote: “Nor do I pretend to understand the stark nihilism that drove the terrorists that day (9/11) and that drives their brethren still. My powers of empathy, my ability to reach into another’s heart, cannot penetrate the blank stares of those who would murder innocents with abstract, serene satisfaction.” And therein is the problem that he, as President, and we as citizens must address.

Political correctness is so dominant in the Obama White House that no one in the U.S. government dares say anything that might be deemed critical of a so-called “religion” that sanctions beheadings, amputations, stoning, kidnapping hostages, ransoms, polygamy, and slavery. To anyone deemed an infidel or unbeliever or a Muslim who questions anything about Islam, death is the only option other than dhimmitude, a second-class citizenship.

The pure evil of Islam was seen most recently in the two videos of American hostages being beheaded by the Islamic State, but despite decades of attacks on U.S. embassies, the taking of U.S. hostages in Beirut and Tehran, attacks in Bali, Madrid and London, and the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and on the Pentagon, Americans have been slow to realize the intensity and size of the threat that the Middle Eastern and North African nations represent along with wherever else a large Muslim population exists.

As the U.S. and threatened Middle Eastern nations hurtle toward a military confrontation with the Islamic State, the name it has given to territory it has seized from northern Syria and into Iraq, a new book, Fault Lines: The Layman’s Guide to Understanding America’s Role in the Ever-Changing Middle East, ($00.00, Elevate, Boise, Idaho, softcover) provides one of the best, short histories on U.S. involvement and why, at this point, its influence has reached a low point.

Liebich writes of the way the U.S. policy regarding the Middle East changed over the years, particularly in the wake of World War II and the Cold War that followed as the Soviet Union challenged us for the implementation of communism worldwide. Dependent on the flow of oil from the Middle East, much of our strategic interest in the region was based on exercising our influence, often bringing about the removal of leaders whom we regarded as a threat to that necessity. After 9/11 that went into overdrive.

Liebich notes that our concept of nation-building proved costly, not just in the lives of our troops, but which included $50 billion in Iraq “and it didn’t work. Before you can build a nation you have to have a nation and only the citizens of that nation can decide what kind of a country they want to have.” The problem the U.S. encountered was that “In the Middle East, people related much more to the Ummah (the Muslim community) and to their own tribes.”

The problem that George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush, encountered was that “The Middle East is a part of the world where many odd alliances appear. One is never sure who is allied with whom and whatever one thinks may all change tomorrow.”

Liebich takes note of the “Arab Awakening” that followed the U.S. invasion of Iraq that deposed Saddam Hussein. It began “with so much promise” followed by “its subsequent descent into chaos, has drastically changed the geopolitical landscape in the Middle East and North Africa.”

Liebich says “My definition of a vital national interest is one that deals with an existential threat to the United States, and one for which the U.S. is willing to spill its blood and to spend its treasure in order to accomplish its objectives. By this definition, the U.S. has no vital national interest in events in the Middle East.” Written prior to the emergence of the Islamic State, a new existential threat is facing the U.S.

Liebich says our strategic interests in the Middle East for many years included access to stable supplies of oil at reasonable prices; support for the state of Israel; preventing adversaries or potential adversaries from coming to power or achieving influence in the region; improving life for the people of the region; and preventing terrorist attacks on U.S. territories and citizens.

“The region has become the epicenter for terrorist groups, some of which have ambitions for a global reach.” That alone will require a renewed military involvement by the U.S. as we are the only nation with the capacity to alter the facts on the ground.

It comes at a time when the U.S. is close to having developed its oil reserves to a point where the oil of the Middle East will not determine our policies, but it is that oil which other nations such as those of Europe depend upon. China and India need it as well so its protection by and for the West as well as the developing Asian nations affects our decisions. Even Russia whose economy is dependent on oil and natural gas has cast its support for Syria along with Iran.

Everything, though, depends on understanding the true nature and intent of Islam.

Liebich ends his book with a quote from Winston Churchill who said, “We can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other possibilities.”

Right now, the right thing is the destruction of the Islamic State!

Think about what America will become if Obama's radical second-term plan is fully implemented. We cannot allow that to happen. We must impeach Obama now. He's fired an astounding number of high-ranking military officials and is replacing them with those loyal to him—creating a military run by Obama supporters who will not defy him. Do not forget that Attorney General of the U.S. said that Obama has the power to kill Americans. All of the pieces are falling together. He's already quietly created a police state and soon will be coming to confiscate your guns. This is all part of his plan to implement Martial Law so as to fully oppress the citizens of the United States.

Demand our lawmakers start working for the American people—demand that they IMPEACH OBAMA NOW! The louder our voices, the better we'll be heard. Obama is a traitor to America who has committed treasonous and heinous acts for which he should be tried, convicted and tossed out of office. How much more can America take before we collapse under the weight of his oppression?

Screw them all.....I don't wont to understand why they kill and hate us....The only thing they understand is Violence..If I was in charge ...every time they beheaded someone...I would go get 100 of the Bastards at random and chop off their heads...do that every time....THEY would understand that.....Then I would piss on the bodies and pour pig blood all over them...

Another Einstein who can't understand senate impeachment math. Still can't wrap your head around that 2/3 super majority thing???

President Obama will only leave the White House when he completes his term at noon, Jan. 20, 2017.

I suggest you have a few beers and turn off Fox. You will feel a lot better.

In case you hadn't noticed for many, many decades we have tolerated an Islamic regime, Saudi Arabia that beheads people with regularity, doesn't allow non-Muslims into their country, unless they are there on business. They dislike Jews and Christians and have a very primitive barbaric outlook on life.

However, unlike with Iraq, we like and are satisfied with our oil relationship with them. GW Bush liked them so much that he was willing to overlook that 17 of the 19----9/11 hijackers were Saudis.

He thought it made more sense to invade an oil rich nation, Iraq, that had nothing to do with 9/11 so we could fashion an oil relationship more along the lines of the one we had with the Saudis.

Its not rocket science. Follow the money!

Three replies, you're the third...

First one wants to behead a 100 of them everytime they do one... And poor pig blood on the bodies...

Second one thinks I'm an ideate and can't count 2/3 majority in the Senate for Impeachment, I know they won't Impeach him, EVEN if they had the votes, his Black!!!

I also don't think they will prosecute him or Holder for the same reason as the no Impeachment, they are Black...

We allowed an anti-American Marxist to be elected, not are fault totally, I mean McCain, really, Come On... Romney would have been a good administrator, but no carisma, nice guy however...

So we're stuck with As Ben Franklin said, "The government we deserve... Don D. "Not a Happy Camper"!!! :( :(

You sound a little brainwashed by the rightwing fear-monger machine. I guess we better lock up everyone from the last 5 administrations then, because U..S. policy has been essentially the same since the 80's, despite the window-dressing of the 2-party plutocratric duopoly. Snap out of it pal.

Don G. Dinsdale Loc: El Cajon, CA (San Diego County)

I very well may be brain washed, I don't think America is a better place because we have become a Socialist Welfare/Slavery Nation...

I don't think a President who isn't smart enough to get the opposition party to work him on any issue and has to resort to tyrannical tactics of "Executive Orders" is the way the Founders set our Country up...

As far as "SNAPPING" out of it is concerned, I think not, the Liberals have ruined a perfectly good system of Government to suit their Dictatorial agenda, so no I don't think I'll snap out of it, PAL!!!

The difference between a Conservative and a Liberal (Short Form) is:

If a Conservative doesn't like something they don't do it...

If a Liberal doesn't like something they don't want anyone doing it...

That's a Dictatorship!!! Don D.

All i'm trying to say is that both parties are sold-out, corporate regimes that no longer respond to the majority of the citizens they are there to serve. If you want to insist that everything is liberals' fault only, go ahead. But that ain't the whole truth.

Don G. Dinsdale Loc: El Cajon, CA (San Diego County)

You are correct..... We agree... Don D.

how did this go from ISIS to something else

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God

I think we should do far more than get a 100 of them..sorry but I think all of them....kids, women and men, should ALL be exterminated. It is the only way to end their customs of murdering innocent people and being out of control towards the rest of the world.
