Just send a few Texas Rangers.

The Yazidis are an ancient religion, one whose people revere Melek Taus, who is also known as the Peacock Angel, or Shaytan, or in English: Satan.

Who has been portraying them as Christians, and why?

[tacticalogic]

Cruz/Watts ?

[Night Hides Not]

Just send a few Texas Rangers.

Given our current military leadership, they'd be used ineffectively. I'm still trying to get my arms wrapped around the fact that 7K-10K ISIS can take over all the territory they've won.

Yet, with all the stories and photos of beheadings and other murders, liberals in this country are more worried about the dangers of the Tea Party.

Yes I know it is misspelled. Take it up with the "artist".

C’mon...is that the best we can do?

How about, (and I know I am going to get attacked here) Condi Rice? She’s too smart though and won’t run.

[bert]

Mulling over ia a synonym for dithering. It means to appear to be acting while merely screwing around hoping the problem will go away

C’mon...is that the best we can do?

Define "best".

RE :”At the same time, the president finds himself in an impossible predicament: if he doesn’t sign off on a rescue mission, and ISIS slaughters more Yazidis and Christians, he will be accused of letting innocents die on his watch. If, on the other hand, he authorizes the operation and it goes south (or, God forbid, an American soldier is killed) he will be accused (especially by his base) of recklessly re-prosecuting a war he supposedly already won. There are no good options here. But perhaps the worst option would be to sit back and allow an entire sect of people to be systemically exterminated by a rabid band of Islamic extremists. “

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy, recall 2007 through 2012 when we were lectured that Obama had all the answers.

His world apology tour?

His ‘talking to our enemies’ strategy?

Just leave and there will be peace?

Best = Serious, dynamic and wide-appeal candidate that can galvanize the nation again into voting for a Conservative with a vision and past experience.

[The Great RJ]

The Yazidis stuck on this mountain represent only a handful of those being persecuted and killed by ISIS. Imagine FDR sending US troops across German lines to rescue a single Jewish village surrounded by the Nazis..would that have prevented the holocaust?

[null and void]

[skeeter]

ISIS has got our Abrahms tanks. A few more rifles & RPGs would be of far more benefit to the refugees than the Islamist slime.

[chiefqc]

For mac daddy the meaning of “mulling” is deciding who will get the blame when, like all others decisions from him, it gets totally f’d up.

[Hattie]

Let’s be sure to tell the enemy what we are going to do far enough in advance that we will certainly fail. That’s lead from behind.

[tacticalogic]

Cruz or JC Watts can’t do that?

[TexasCajun]

International Rescue Mission - translation - I don’t have the balls to do it myself.

Exactly! ...probably assign Crazy Uncle Joe to the job.

[Deo volente]

The Rats will just want a mulligan, and we'll have to do it all over again with whatever socialist idiot they come up with next.

Hillary ("We're going to take things away from you for the common good") Clinton.

Hillary ("We're going to take things away from you for the common good") Clinton.

My favorite Hillary quote is "We'll just have to change human nature."

International Rescue--Thunderbirds are go.
