I'm pretty sure if we handed TCBY a big ole beheading sword and a tied up terrorist he'd just make some excuse about not having the time to put in the sort of effort in beheading that those damn terrorists have and he's gotta go somewhere and do something.

With all the talk about how bad ISIS is, there sure are a lot of reports out there that they were trained and armed by the USA. Those weapons we bought in Libya needed a home and what better place than to people fighting Assad in Syria.

Keep in mind that ISIS is actually fighting against the Iranian alliance in the Middle East. This is also helpful to Israel and Saudi Arabia. They got too bold in Iraq for our liking but still are useful to our goals of destabilizing the region.

I wouldn't be expecting any major attack on ISIS from the USA.

You people need to keep your eyes on the prize in the grand narrative. War with Iran.

There is something to be said for the old saying, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

Though hated Huessian, Mubarack and to a lessor extent Qaddafi and Assad had a way of controlling their countrymen. Challenges to their regime were dealt with swiftly and severely. In the void left by by the deaths of 3 and the marginalization of the other the middle east has been conscripted by Muslims wishing to establish an Islamic State ruled by Sharia Law led by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Khomeini in Iran.

As is often the case, one should be cautious in what one wishes for.

Cleaning the Haus of Saud should've been the first target on the "War on Terror".

Instead we enlisted their help and are taking out their trash.

Perhaps a better strategy would be to let those in that region run their own affairs. It seems modern history has been unkind to those would seek regime changes in lands far from their borders.

We meddled in the affairs of Vietnam. Countless casualties and the loss of 55,000+ American lives achieved what?.

The Russians attempted to control Afghanistan and were pushed out. To a large degree we have had no bettor success.

Saddam was removed from power because of ****** Chaney's 1% doctrine. The administration convinced the American people he had WMD's and planned to use them on us. We now know that was not the case. Look at Iraq now. Are we safer or more at danger with Saddam's demise?

Suppose we "cleaned the House of Saud," what guarantee do we have that the new regime would be a bettor ally?

You clean out the Haus of Saud...you cut off the head of the snake.

See them for what they are. They are destabilizers. They're content to let anyone do the dirty work.

Have no fear...they pay handsomely.

We'll have to agree to disagree. If one were to cut off the head of king snake so to speak, then there will be no one to control all the small snakes. The current situation is far from perfect, but the alternative is murky at best and more likely than not intensely chaotic. Considering the outcome of the recent regime changes I find it real hard to believe it would be a net plus.

Although there may be a desire for an Islamic state or Caliphate, you have to keep your scorecard updated. Some Sunnis want that. Some Shia want that. They sure as hell don't want the each other to have that.

The civil war in Syria is Shia (the minority Alawite ****es are in control through Assad) versus Sunni.
The civil war in Iraq is Shia (now in control of the government via free elections) verus Sunni (Saddam's group)
Taliban and Afghanistan = Sunni
Pakistan = Sunni
Saudi Arabis = Sunni
ISIS = Sunni

Ok. First, let me say it again... your whole "play nice with terrorists" thing is a strawman. In case you don't understand what a strawman is (I know, you skipped class that day too).. YOU created the argument in your own head, because in YOUR head that's what you think I want. Then you say I want us all to do it, and demand I defend against it. I never said anything about playing nice with anyone. You can drop that entire argument (except then you're left with nothing... which is why you're clinging to it).

On the other hand, you've now gone and stated that you'd practically take joy in beheading an unarmed, tied up terrorist in custody... because you're convinced that it's your "civic duty" and that you have to "even the score" and "level the playing field"... Most interestinly, it's because you "know I did what I HAD TO DO"... are you so afraid of an unarmed, tied up person in your custody that the only option you feel is available to you is to kill them? I'm pretty sure there are other options available... maybe better, maybe worse... but beheading definitely doesn't fit under "HAD TO DO"....and for some strange reason you want me nearby while you're on your "beheading unarmed people" spree.

What I find most ironic about the entire thing... your justification... "They ARE ANIMALS in the 1st degree" that's the same justification they use to justify their beheading of infidels. What was I just saying earlier about sinking to their level???

Saudi Arabia funds the Sunni uprisings everywhere as part of their Cold War against Iran and their Shia allies. The USA is in bed with Saudi and the Sunni uprisings. With all the constant strife and wars in the Middle East, ever notice that it is actually Iran and Saudi Arabia that never fire a shot?! Masterful gamesmanship. Get others to do your bidding.

Even on this thread we've got Americans clamoring to do Iran's bidding!

Take out Saudi and Iran wins. Now we have a very strong Syria-Iraq-Iran alliance that forms. Israel won't like that. They're not gonna let us take out Saudi.

Israel is OK with the status quo and there is widespread consensus that ISIS poses no threat to Israel. They're sitting this one out while Muslims kill Muslims. Palestinians, Egyptians, and Jordanians don't have any interest in the Islamic State idea.
