On Fox News' The Real Story, Gretchen took it a step further and complained that eight air bombings a day wasn't really enough of an effort by the administration to go after ISIS and then went into lala land by quoting a character from Showtime's series Homeland, who sounds like most radical conservatives when it comes to war.
I don't know if it's scary or if there's another adjective to describe it, but Showtime a show called Homeland and one of their characters actually seems to sometimes know more about this war on terror and ISIS than possibly this administration
The character they quoted was a black ops assassin named Peter Quinn, played expertly by Rupert Friend, who wants the US to bomb Syria and the jihadist into kingdom come or as he states, pound them into a parking lot.
She later referenced getting help from Ironman, James Bond, Transformers, Indiana Jones, and Spiderman. Faux News personal superhero Liarman is apparently tied up with the Rethug primary.

Simple minds....
The disrespect shown to President Obama by the right is simply astonishing. The second guessing of bush jrs policy of "premptive strikes" against "potential" future threats i.e. Iraq to the US was deemed "un-patriotic" or even "seditious" by this same group of people. Every day this government/country inches closer to becoming a real world version of the government/country depicted in the comedy "Idiocracy". It is truly terrifying.
