Americans have short memories. For many, the recent terrorist attacks on Paris may have already slipped their minds as they focus on shopping, decorating and baking.
We interrupt this holiday season for an urgent message: These are serious times that call for serious leaders. But serious leaders are elected by serious people. And when the time comes to confront evil, many Americans are not serious people.
In the last few weeks, two Russian planes have been shot down (one by Turkey and the other by the Islamic State), French President Francois Hollande and Russian President Vladimir Putin have teamed up to destroy the Islamic State, British Prime Minister David Cameron has urged Parliament to authorize airstrikes in Syria, and the Islamic State has issued a new round of threats against U.S. cities.

You’re right.
The POS won’t ever do anything beneficial for America.
Is getting Assad out of power worth a WW? I don’t think so. We put eliminating Assad over eradicating Isis. We loose because although Assad is evil, he only bothers the people around him. He does not come into the US and Europe and bomb us like Isis does. Getting rid of Assad is a worthy goal maybe, but letting Isis grow is unworthy for a super power.
As Europe becomes more nationalist, they will move from under America’s wing and go with Russia if we keep screwing up like this. We will be the odd man out.

Mike Huckabee was on earlier and said the fire department puts out the biggest fire first.(I’m paraphrasing).
He agrees with you.
