ISIS and terrorists have been committing atrocities for a long time now. How much more can happen before the United States gets more actively involved? Will it take another 9/11 type event before the president finally takes the threat serious. He has a difficult time even labeling them as terrorists in some instances.
There is now proof that ISIS burned a captured Jordanian pilot alive. can the United States still stand by while atrocities like this continue?
Is it time for the President of the United States to become more active in combating the growing ISIS threat? They have made direct threats against the United States, attacked citizens in other countries, and have a growing number of followers globally, including the US.
What do you think the US should do?

They crossed the line when they started beheading people but there latest antic is definitely crossing another line. I hope that Jordan does what they planned if they did not get their pilot back and I hope that the world backs them. The worse thing is they are not a nation or a government. It is time that POTUS steps up the game and realizes that airstrikes alone are not the answer and he needs to build a coalition with the world and take the fight to these bastards.

If the world governments do nothing more than publicly condemning these cowards, than they are just as heartless as the terrorists themselves.
Maybe that sounds harsh, but in my opinion there has to be a point when the world has to say talk is cheap, it is time for serious action. A public condemnation really does nothing except tell the terrorists that the rest of the world is spineless. As long as they know that no government is going to do anything serious, business will continue as usual.

The White House philosophy is "If we do nothing, we can do nothing wrong." Plus, we might even hurt some feelings of these poor oppressed Muslims who just need understanding and compassion.
I remember from Infantry Training days.. "Kill or be killed" Keep hitting your enemy until he is hurt, down and out..

I agree with a lot of the responses on here. They have definitely crossed a line, whether recent or long ago, but the biggest issue with War on Terrorism is that it essentially is the same as the War on Drugs. Cut one head off of the snake and another rises to replace it. As long as there is a "demand" there will be someone to rise to the occasion to "supply" it. Do I think that we should just give up against the formidable odds? A resounding no, but we must respond intelligently and efficiently not full of rage and passion. Because rage and passion will only get you so far.

Yes, I'm afraid it will take another world wide event before we can unite as a nation, or unify against the atrocities towards humanity....lest the liberals forget.

When we tried to convince people what the threat was but it was a case of chicken little syndrome because of "faulty" intel Iraq. We all know what we are supposed to know and heard so who is to say it was really faulty or the true extent of the threat was too much for public consumption, but I digress this is about ISIS after all. Well the sky still is not falling but the world is crawling with a mutant version of the Al Qaeda cockroach called ISIS. Air "raid" is not working because the roaches keep hiding in the crevices of bombed out buildings so it's time to do what the Orkin man does, kill them at the source, on the ground. Let the Arab countries deal with the Syrian government and any reconstruction needed so our objective is simple, kills those clowns before they cause more damage. Al Qaeda confined most of their efforts running us out of the Middle East and the Taliban to get us out of Afghanistan. ISIS is a problem for the entire world and must be eliminated before they get their hands on WMD's like chemical weapons which are a known to exist in Syria. The scary part is, they in all likelihood, have some already.

No, the scary part is that nations panic at such a pansy force as ISIS. I mean the peshmergah have them on the run. They really haven't defeated anyone but the rickety poorly led Iraq military. Given sufficient ground forces, and proper air cover I do believe they would fold. Just don't use American ground forces. The president is doing this exactly right. Train the others, we have time. I am not panicked by ISIS.

They have crossed the line since they started. The summary execution of men, women and babies because of their Christian Faith.

SPC Beyssac, Correct me if I am wrong, But the only thing ISIS has to do with Christianity is a deep hatred towards it.

I hate to say, but it frankly will require another major atrocity to the US to commit us to that fight soon. Frankly I believe that war with IS will be used as a political tool with election season coming up in the near future. Public opinion will weigh heavily on talking points from candidates and that's how we'll take the next step into the fight.

Is this too much? :) If so, Admins and RallyPoint friends and family, I apologize.
You know I'm pretty much polite and professional here, and if this get's pulled from the thread, I promise I won't do it again. You have my word.
With that said....
F*CK ISIS.

I dont think the US should do anything in retaliation of this; however I think that Jordan should stick to their promise of kiling the prisoners in return and I hope that the Jordanians cover them in pigs blood first.
just my 2 cents worth.

I will add to this that I think the US should show full support for any and all retaliation that Jordan chooses.
