Why Is Obama Soft On The ISIS? by QAPHAYNE: 3:48am On Sep 06, 2014 |
The US is clearly soft on ISIS. Obama only reluctantly initiated “limited strikes” on ISIS with few jets sent to “halt the advance” of the terrorists, “protect stranded Yazidi’s” and “protect US interests.” That was pretty much it. What happened to US no terrorist rhetoric? What happened to US non tolerance to the likes of Saddam Hussein and to Moammar Gaddafi? Why is the US suddenly so sympathetic to the cause of ISIS and eager to permit their existence? Why is the US not targeting the top command and control centers of ISIS? Today in the news, the identity of the ISIS British accented member who slaughtered an American journalist was the headlines. What does his identity matter? We know the identity of the killer of the America journalist. It is ISIS. It is the leadership of ISIS that authorized his killing. The US should go after the command centers of ISIS. The world is frankly tired of the tolerance of terror. We the people are tired of the systematic arming of terrorists and permission of terror to cause chaos in erstwhile peaceful zones in the world. We are tired of the use of “kid gloves” against dangerous, real evolving terror. ISIS should be crushed now. Some US media including the New York Times are pleasantly, deceitfully referring to ISIS as “Sunni Militants.” This is an insult to many who regard themselves as “Sunni” worldwide and an encouragement of terrorists. The world needs a new direction in leadership, a new world order where conscientious truth and justice trump over deadly personal interests and advantages. ISIS is a dangerous aberration and existential threat. It must be crushed and crushed now. It is time to bomb their control centers and military formations. Troops on the ground are not required for this and such excuse by the US does not float. Iraqi troops and volunteers will do the rest.Where are the hawks who set-up around poor Libya and dropped 50,000 sorties to get Africa’s poor Gaddafi out of power? Where is NATO? Where is the UN? Where is Qatar and Kuwait? Fellow nairalander, Do you agree with this author? I like to hear your views. Culled from: MyNews24.com |

This is from a neo conservative point of view. It is far more complicated than sending soldiers into Iraq. This is essentially a Sunni vs Shiite war with the Saudi ,Iranians ,Lebanese ,emirate etc all thrown in between . |

QAPHAYNE: The US is clearly soft on ISIS. Obama only reluctantly lol Obama is not being soft he is being cautious by not dragging America in every war and etc that goes on especially in the third world. People need to remember after the Iraq and afghanistan war that was created by Bush and slowly being shut down by Obama, many Americans don't care for any war, regardless of their feelings. President Obama is doing what is within his means to appease the American citizens and help(air strikes) innocent Iraqi's from being slaughtered by animals like ISIS. At the sametime I feel The American government pick and choses at times based on their interest, what battles they join and ones they don't; Darfur and Rwandan civil war is a very good example where America could careless but joined The vietnam war and it messed up President Lyndon Johnson then(70's) or when America went into Somalia(watch the movie: BLACK HAWK DOWN) and left in not in a good note in the early to mid 90's, I still remeber how Americans were complaining then. President Obama must be taking in all the options and asking other european leaders to get involved, Like the UK, France, Germany, and even Russia(but I doubt they will after the Ukraine fiasco that is currently on-going and a mess, especially after the malaysian air craft that was shot down). President Obama is doing what he can do in the present time, People need to know also some Americans even disagreed with Obama doing anything which included airstrikes or putting attention on the Ukraine or Gaza fiasco, they wanted thim to concentrate on more domestic issues. People will always complain about Obama, especially the time he became president when the American economy was a mess and he had to quench two countries(Iraq and Afghanistan) from disaster. When President Obama got elected and he kept to the promise that he will end the Iraq war before his presidency and Americans were happy about this and I feel him sending ground troops will break that promise he made to American people. Air strikes are the best way where he slow doen the crazy ISIS but not start a breeding ground for another war in a country where he said he will end this past summer. 2 Likes |

To hell with fighting ISIS, obama is making the right decision here. That crap does not affect us what-so-ever. Let the middle east deal with their own garbage for once. And on a more strategic note, there is much benefit to having all Americas enemies concentrated into one area instead of being dispersed all over the world. Terrorists from Europe, NA, China and all over the Arab world are concentrating into an area the size of belgium. Perhaps even Nigeria own terrorists will leave and join ISIS . Its beautiful because it simplifies the counter terrorism fight by a significant degree and also adds the options of non-military aggression such and sanctions and blockades if they end up becoming an actual country. |

anonymous6:Exactly. Either way American involvement almost always makes the situation worse. Just look at what happened in Libya it went from the highest living standard in Africa to a failed state. 1 Like |
