John Boehner seem to be pushing American boots on the ground in Iraq AGAIN

[egbertowillies]

John Boehner is continuing the escalation. The drumbeat to war is on again. America should be tired of the false choices they are continuously asked to make.

To be clear, ISIS / ISIL is a barbaric, murderous, despicable group. That can be said for many groups throughout the world that get no attention because they are in parts of the world we do not care about.

Before America goes into war or creep into war, it must be determined if the price to go in is morally, financially, and humanely in our interest. General Zinni said ISIS / ISIL is not an existential threat to the US on the Bill Maher show on Friday. In fact he stated it is a regional threat. That said, he acknowledged Ebola as an existential threat to the world that merits much more attention. This opinion is shared by many others as stated in the Bill Maher piece.

President Obama should follow his two simple but important doctrines.
1. Don’t do stupid stuff.
2. Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

There is much to say about allowing ISIS / ISIL to die from attrition and a lack of supply. Yet no one is talking about that.

1. Just a stray thought - if A Democrat sends troops to Iraq, in the GOP craptastic worldview, this

might rehabilitate Shrub's war, and that would be a good thing if Jebbie runs. Not saying this is right, just saying it could be a GOP strategy, looking towards 2016.
