President Bush called it on iraq

Be very careful ... logic and reality do not fit well in the PC fantasy land created by the left.
 
The middle east is a game of whackamole if we go after Isis then another group will just rise up

What was the definition of insanity again?

The strategy needs to be completely rethought. I think we need to contain them and let them kill each other until their culture is mature enough to realize that senseless violence is senseless

I'm not a lefty, but I don't watch Fox Snooz.

Before G.W. Bush and the Neo-cons took the USA into war in Iraq ISIS didn't exist.

That's a fact that you can check out. The USA gained nothing in Iraq. But it did create a lot of new enemies.

The only country that gained anything from the USA's huge expenditure in Iraq is Iran.

ISIS ain't exactly humane but I am tired of wasting this country's treasure on pointless pursuits. If we want to win, them we need the balls to do what it takes to make a real change? Cultures change from their own will not conquest.

Unfortunately you're right. This should have never got started but here we are.

Regardless, it's not our job to fix their broken culture. Our job is to protect out culture. Containment is the most viable option

You think we should abandon diplomacy, economic engagement and other methods of influence and just invade everyone at the same time? Brilliant.

Well, someone's gotta do it.
