How many of these coutnries are Sunni vs. Shia?
Just curious....
He didn’t deserve the nobel prize. He should give it back. But he won’t.
We had absolutely no business bombing Libya. We do have an interest in ensuring ISIS does not take over country after country. No idea what Obama is doing here but I do agree with a coalition bombing ISIS in Iraq and Syria. I just have zero confidence Obama will take ISIS out. I think he will use this to promote his agenda to get rid of dictatorships (which actually helps ISIS)
whee is the anti war crowd, the tolerance crowd and students about this.
Turkey is attacking refuges at their border and not a peep from Amnesty international, but we want out borders secured because of r=terrorism and we give them food, water, health care education and we are condemned.
The left are nothing but hypocrites, but when he has the media telling us they are not biased, and there are millions of uneducated ignorant fools out there who vote based on color then they control the message and help the left to advance their socialism.
Hey, let’s some of us sign up on DU and Huf’n’Puf, and start demanding that the Nobel committee take back that dumb prize! Maybe we could start a little war over there!

There he is, ladies and gentlemen. There sits Barack Hussein Obama, a colossus among us mere mortals, trying to shave with an orange.
The Obama administration takes 4 positions on every issue. So bombing Syrian Rebels (IS), while bombing Assad (soon to come), while funding and arming Syrian Rebels (moderates) makes perfect sense. So my prediction is eventually Obama will have American troops firing at each other as they support two opposing forces.
“after Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya and Iraq.”
Don’t forget Somalia.
Now I see why the gave him the Nobel Peace Prize before he actually did anything. How did they know?
Shhhh...
Don’t tell anyone.
Somebody might take notice.

Here’s the piece by Professor AbuKhalil he was referring to.
http://english.al-akhbar.com/content/syrian-wars-proxy
From Wiki:
AbuKhalil describes himself as “a former Marxist-Leninist, now an anarchist”, a feminist, and an “atheist secularist”.
He is vocally pro-Palestinian, describes himself as an anti-Zionist, supports a secular Palestinian state. He is a supporter of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, and says that “the real aim of BDS is to bring down the state of Israel...Justice and freedom for the Palestinians are incompatible with the existence of the state of Israel”. He is an opponent of the Iraq War. He is critical of Zionism, of United States foreign policy, of Iran, Saudi Arabia, of both Fatah and Hamas, and of all rival factions in Lebanon including the Shia Hezbollah.
The USA ought to bomb ALL of the majority Mohammedan countries with nuclear weapons to rid humanity of the cancer of Mohammedanism.

And I thought only cowboys from Midland Texas were war-mongers….
“Empires bomb who they want, when they want, for whatever reason”
Well, I totally agree with that. We’re in friggin’ charge, and we’ll bomb you if you cut off our citizen’s heads. We don’t ask permission. We oughtn’t even announce. We should just make your cities fall to rubble.
If you want to play nicely, we should (but aren’t) be a good friend.
If you want to play Jihad, we’ll introduce you to your 72 Virgins as quickly as possible.
Declarations of War are for other moments in history. Right now, bomb islamists who need bombing.
That’s not to approve of 0bama in any fashion. He’s an idiot. But we oughtn’t get caught up in niceties. Kill them. Now. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Dead. Before they kill us.
Sorry, but that is BS. Anti-American sentiment in that reason is fueled solely by American support for Israel and American refusal to bow before a caliphate. If the US pulled completely out of the region, the muzzie extremists would still hate America and seek to destroy her interests.
I ask the question again...
What has Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan done???
Are they flying, bombing, strafing ISIS/ISIL targets and killing these schmups???
If they are not, then they are not doing a damn thing as far as I am concerned...
And he will keep bombing them until they recognize HIM as the legitimate Caliph.
