If this proves to be true, we may have to go back to the Middle East...

This was totally foreseeable and predictable... Hope-centered politics in action.

ISIS' thirst for oil could lead to 'global catastrophe' if unchecked, experts say

Islamic State's thirst for blood has put the world on notice, but it’s equally insatiable yearning for oil could prove a catastrophe for the global economy if the terror organization isn't stopped, experts say.

Not just for a campaign either. We will need to be there for generations. It needs to be like poor Israel, surrounded 24/7 by everyone trying to destroy them. Every once and a while, it will erupt into a major battle until stability can happen. You don't treat cancer with one dose of chemotherapy. You don't radiate until the cancer is gone, but the patient is dead. We need to eliminate this once and for all. But that is easy for me to say, I'm not the one having to do it anymore......

Even Chuck Hagel is seeing the danger and acknowledging that the threat is worse than anything al Qaeda posed, thanks to the current Regime's arming of the ISIS/L rebels in Syria - again, totally predictable... and people have been warning of this before POTUS pulled troops out of Iraq and ignored the threat in Syria.

Islamic State threat 'beyond anything we've seen': Pentagon

The sophistication, wealth and military might of Islamic State militants represent a major threat to the United States that may surpass that once posed by al Qaeda, U.S. military leaders said on Thursday.

Agreed. All of a sudden the administration is starting to realize that the "B Team" isn't such a "B Team" after all. We can not return to the isolationist policies of the 30's.
