As far as I can tell, nobody has any idea of how to deal with the Middle East. They all criticize the opposition for being weak and stupid but they themselves have no ideas other than getting sucked into another trillion dollar war that will only make things worse. I think we need a lot of new blood in Washington.

@Ted. it is a religious war. The only way to stop it is education, something the combatants are united against.

What’s this a liberal editorial comic saying we should fight again in Iraq?

It baffles me how hard it is to find terrorist camps in a bleedin’ DESERT. I mean, what are they using to hide under?

I read an editorial from a newspaper in Dubai claiming Pres. Obama should have a comprehensive plan concerning ISIS, yet where is the plan from the middle east leaders?

I think we should stop with this Authorization to Use Military Force. It is a cop out for Congress. Make them vote for a resolution for War and raise taxes to pay for it. This way we will find out how many congressmen/women and American public really want to send our troops into harms way. Let’s not give lip serves to support our troops as we did under Bush. People need to put more skin in the game. If this had happened and not a tax cut as we went to war in Iraq, we never would have gone in the first place.

@eugene57Care to think before commenting? I learned long ago that not all people get satire nor parody nor travesty nor a side order of snark. BUT: Let’s face it. Spy planes have given way to spy satellites, with a side order of drones. At the end of the day, a jungle canopy is much easier to hide under (with or without tunnels) than a desert. (With or without terrorist tricks of the trade.) The problem always was and always will be that the dreaded “winning of hearts and minds” would appear to be far more tricky than any of our personal local national American politicians ever expect. Because they know nothing about other cultures, other religions, or much of anything else.
