39. When did you come to the decision that ISIS 'needs to be destroyed'? Do you live in the ME? If so,

then fine, ISIS is YOUR business, Americans never even heard of this now supposedly WORSE THAN HITLER group until a couple of weeks ago.

If you are an American, then what business is ISIS of yours? And when you take on this job, have you considered that we once, long, long ago decided to take out another group, but we went to the wrong country, we destroyed that country and in so doing we CREATED ISIS. Now those unfortunate people have no country where they can feel safe and we have people in THIS country demanding, DEMANDING that we REPEAT the failure we still haven't been able, after 11 years, to put back together.

Great idea, let's repeat what we did before which failed spectacularly, except for Defense Contractors of course, hoping this time all our bombs and WMDS can do what they failed to do before.

And why would it take YEARS to 'destroy' a small group of rag tag terrorists btw, when it only us together with our allies, about two/three years to destroy A REAL THREAT TO THE WORLD with a FORMIDABLE ARMY that had already proven its strength??

Has America become so weak it cannot handle a small group like ISIS without spending YEARS AND YEARS we are told, and still, after 13 years, cannot deal with the Taliban and Al Queda??

I love the fairy tales we are told, but even better is the fact that so many actually believe them!!
