We didn’t attack Iraq? What would you call it, a reconnaissance in force?

While a few of the comments @ the article are worthwhile, most are ridiculous, anti-gun nonsense. If ISIS are mostly “shooters”, they’re going to find out that in the US, many of their intended victims can and will shoot back.

Your implication is that we attacked Iraq as a response to 9/11. We didn’t.
If that was not your implication then that’s a different story.

No no no you don’t understand...Paris was undeserved because it was in a socialist country...thus, 9/11 was caused by Bush’s lack of leadership and we are an evil country...so in their logic 9/11 is ancient history to be whitewashed. See the logic?

As for outcast, they outcast themselves. There is no way to include them in anything when their ideology says that everyone not precisely agreeing with them must be murdered. As for economics, they spend their money on their evil murderous plots. It’s their own doing.

I don’t know which is worse, the article or the comments. Basically the article told me we are safe and Muslims are good people. The comments blame guns for more damage and pain than terrorism.
It is amazing how dense a lot of people are.

What’s to wonder about ..??

The whole country is filled with Terrorist Training Camps; and the Lord only knows what they have been cooking up. I want to know when these places are going to be dismantled ??

And .. if the CA Gov wants to invite more Terrorists to live in CA .. what does that tell you about his concern for the citizens of this state ..??

The first time the “Refugees” attack somebody in CA, IMPEACHMENT will be the order of the day. So far, Gov Moonbeam has done everything he can to destroy this state.

When I was typing, I couldn't think of the *term* we use:

Then a light went on..."Cheese-eating surrender monkeys", sometimes shortened to "surrender monkeys", is a pejorative term for the French people. The term was coined in 1995, by Ken Keeler, a writer for the television series The Simpsons. The term has entered two Oxford quotation dictionaries. In February 2003, during the early phases of the Iraq War, the term was used by National Review journalist Jonah Goldberg.

We attacked Afghanistan first since that was where intel said Obama was hiding.

And yes, we probably should have attacked Saudi Arabia too.

I honestly don’t understand the vitriol towards France here (after the attack on their people). Seriously, our President is Barack Hussein Obama, 7 years after 9/11 and again in 2012. And, people think we have any bearing to slam Europe? LMAO.

The tables turned way before Obama became President.

We “attacked” Iraq in March of 2003.

Yes it can happen here. My fear, with Black Friday and the Christmas shopping season fast approaching, the malls around the country will be packed with shoppers making them an attractive target. Think of the panic of what a coordinated attack of a half a dozen malls around the country would cause. All of a sudden Obama’s isolation strategy will fall by the wayside as American’s would demand direct action.
