    It also creates a scenario where the president can make 100 mistakes and his adherents will claim it's all misdirection.
    Irony, indeed.

    Perhaps he really is playing 11-dimension chess.

    He's the smartest guy on Earth. Of course he is.

    Yeah, but what if those "businessmen" put their hands up and say not to shoot?

    Because the "point-6" is so important?

    ISIS apparently has American woman as a hostage and wants 6.6 million for her release.

    We don't want just six million ... we need an extra 600,000, too! We need the extra 600,000 for beheading knives!

    Anyway, doesn't seem right. If they're controlling oil fields and selling enough barrels to general $3M/day, it doesn't seem like they'd be in a crunch for $6.6M. Something smells fishy.

    When in it's history did Israel try to "kill off" anyone?

    In response to the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor!

    Ever met a Jesubite?

    I admittedly did not hear of ISIS until about a month ago which is
    probably like most Americans.

    How is it possible with all of the money that we spend on intelligence for such a
    group to move to the top of the terrorism world in such a short time?

    That "question" remains as stupid as it was when it was first asked.

    To believe that it's a strong policy position, is to believe terrorists are incapable of both fighting us "there" while still attempting to pull off an attack against the United States.

    I missed it where the terrorists said, "OK - if you just agree to send people over here to fight us, we'll agree to not try to attack your homeland."
