CJE - 2014-08-10 9:39 AM My question is why do we need to tell everything we are going to do..... All Isis has to do is watch the news and figure out where not to be..., or do it seems.
I sure agree with you.  But then, Congress, you and me would have hissy fit's.   Congress and the public want to know and approve every dang move made! 

We do enjoy griping and second guessing. LOL  

Agree.........but just tell us a snipet...........lol......leave us guessing.........

Itsme - 2014-08-10 2:12 PM Saddam would have crushed these guys from day 1...

There was discussion in this household this morning over this.  It always true when you remove a dictator, that you might get something worse.  ISIS is worse....because they want something no one else does that is not an extremist....they want a Caliphate. 

Our prayers are always with our troops, and we would love to believe we would see peace in the mideast in our life time....not going to happen.

This is just pure evil.  No other way to describe it.  If something like this cannot galvanize the world to rise up and obliterate these monsters, then humanity is in deep trouble.  It's high time that someone speak out and challenge the UN to do the right thing, in the name of decency and mankind.  That requires a true leader.  More than speak up, he/she has to find a way to get it done.  It's been done before, very successfully.  Back when Hussein invaded Kuwait, Bush put together a coalition, the likes of which the world has never seen.  He even brought fellow arab countries into the coalition.  We can debate over whether he should have taken it all the way to Baghdad, but that's not the point.  The point is, as I said earlier, someone has to  step up, and right now, other than perhaps Netanyahu, the world is leaderless.  Our very existence depends on it.

It's pretty basic really... The Saudi's would not allow it.... They never wanted what they have today... Saudi is Sunni... Iran is Shia... They don't get along very well... Iraq under Saddam had a Shia majority but was ruled by Sunnis... Thus it was acting as a buffer between between Iran and Saudi.. The Saudis wanted to keep the Sunnis in power there so they would not have to deal with a Shia ruled nation on their border..
