    I'm considering signing the following petition:


    Develop a comprehensive strategy to counter the terrorist organization known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

    The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, hereinafter referred to as the Islamic State (IS), currently controls an area the size of the UK in Iraq and Syria but has also established a sizable presence in: Libya, Egypt, Afghanistan, and many smaller elements thought Northern and Eastern Africa and Central Asia. IS presents a clear danger to the U.S. as evidenced by their beheadings of Americans and their continued efforts to encourage Muslim-Americans to attack their fellow citizens.

    A national strategy to counter IS must be developed and implemented. The strategy should coordinate efforts between and within the DoD, DoJ, DHS, DoS, and the IC. The strategy should neither advocate long term DoD stability operations nor create a security vacuum that sponsors of terrorism can fill.

    But before I do, I wanted to get thoughts from PF

    Well I feel like he's waiting on a strategy that will only address the Isis problem in Iraq but what about elsewhere?

    Neutrality isn't an option for America, as ISIS clearly killed hundreds of thousands of people who posed no real threat to the group. Acting like they're not a threat doesn't make it true.

    Hey, I'm going to sign it, just because I'll be the third signatory

    However, it seems a dumb idea to me. The whole idea of having a strategy is not letting your enemy know that. That's sorta why we have spies and secret codes and all, yes? Typically, conservatives seem not to agree, but then they think everything is politics, the reality of war and the deaths of our soldiers is just another way for them to get a few more votes

    I'm not sure how I feel about it but if it at least highlights concerns from We the People, maybe I'll sign it too

    We disagree.

    Yes, to maintaining intelligence regarding threats to America
    No to getting involved between these crazies and those crazies as if one is more moderate crazies.

    Amen to that!

    Let's use our resources to protect ourselves and our allies, but the people in those countries need to do the fighting now. Enough is enough! They need to put their big boy pants on and fight for what is theirs rather than relying on Uncle Sam to come in and draw another freaking line in the sand that they won't agree to.

    Wrong!

    Obama is Brilliant, Manipulative, filled with hatred for all non-Black America, and is history's most successful saboteur!

    Valerie Jarret, who is Obama's "Power behind the Throne", IS Iran, and Shiite Islamic Domination, setting policy at the top of American policy for the middle east.

    Can't you see the clever deception that has been accomplished with ISIS?!

    We're about to switch, in National Policy, from Fighting Against Iran taking over Iraq, to paying their bills, to have them invade to destroy ISIS, which is a Faux Enemy created by Obama's support of the destruction of the old-school Islamic country dictator Regimes, to create the stream of Rebels and Refugees, needed to allow ISIS to form.

    ISIS was made by clandestine Iranian manipulation, funding, and religious incitement to radical zealotry by covert IRANIAN Control Operatives at the highest levels of leadership within ISIS.

    ISIS is, and always has been under Iranian control.

    ISIS is a pretext, to allow the U.S. to pay Iran to invade and seize control of Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia and Yemen.

    We will Still end up with an Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East, but it will be a Shiite controlled and centered state, when we beg Iran to be the "Boots on the Ground" to defeat the current faux-sunni ISIS.

    That is WHY ISIS was created.

    That is WHY we used American Air-Power to topple a dozen Middle Eastern Despots!

    Obama and crew are NOT Stupid!

    Isis was formed from the impetus of the Arab Spring.In order for Elites to
    decide the fate of the Middle East.We now know it was Hillary who begged this
    White House to let her take charge and Oust Gaddafi { he was assassinated
    by drone attack and then dragged to death by rebels }Hillary did it to flex her
    muscles and show how a woman can make a War President.The next country
    needing to be taken over like Libya was Eqypt which was already accomplished
    by the Muslim Brotherhood { with ties to this White House,especially Hillary
    aide Huma Abedin }. Morsi was ousted by the generals with a military coup after
    he tried to demand Egypt follow his proclamations of a Sharia law for ALL Egypt.
    Mohammed Morsi was deposed and now faces execution.
    Syria was next in line to fall.By any means necessary.Benghazi was No Embassy
    let alone a Mission. It was used by the CIA { Clandestine operation } as a storage
    hub for weapons and ammo { much gathered after Gaddafi was taken out } to
    forward to Rebels { alias as Freedom Fighters } to take out Assad.
    Assad was not Gassing his own people.That was a charade.A hoax to
    divert and manipulate the American people into thinking he was out to
    gas his own people.The gassing used was by Terrorist who got supplied.
    There is video of those Terrorist gas bombing.Assad had a moderate relationship
    with the U.S. as did Gaddafi after he surrendered his WMD.
    This entire upheavel in the Middle East was a Power Broker attempt to try
    and have certain elites control events in the Middle East and thereby
    control the Oil. Just like the way the WEST Elites are feverishly trying to
    hoodwink Americans into thinking Vladmir Putin is some Goldfinger.
    Putin has an 80% popularity rating among Russians.Because he stands for
    a strong Russia and a strong family.Not Abortions and Gay marriage and
    Gun control like the Democrats and Obama elites.
    Obama prefers those like George Soros { a Goldfinger } because he helped
    fund { to the tune of $ 33 Million } the Protests in Ferguson and then Baltimore.
    This Country has been taken over by Obama propaganda and commies.

    Extremely good points! I still think they are just too dumb to have planned it as opposed to fell into it by pure dumb luck.

    Valerie Jarret is not stupid. Nor are her Iranian Leadership allies.

    I do not believe Obama planned the operation, but I believe Obama bought into the plan, and is actively working to see America does its part.

    Obama is doing good, Iraq is growing stronger from the realization that they have to fight if they want to be free, we can't and wont be their personal army, we will assist them from time to time though

    Let me amend this....

    the Complaining Right DO have a response...but it's always "Well, I'll tell you what we SHOULDN'T be doing"....and they repeat their complaints again.

    Otherwise, they have no detailed plans
     
    ARDY and (deleted member) like this.
