We no longer have cheap oil anyways, so just walk away, let the region sort itself out. No one in Iraq/Iran/Syria could care less about your way of life or your freedom.
Draw some clear lines around Isreal and other allies, that they are off limits and leave the rest alone. If they still insist on flying planes into our buildings, then there is justification to bring out big sticks and smash some things... I think the terrorist leaders know this too, and I doubt any are in any hurry to meet [censored], regardless of what their promotional material says.


Finally, a voice of sanity.

The U.S. has been messing with the middle east oil for over 100 years.

They are not going to forget that overnight.

Or never had messed with success of the former dictator. He kept the place in line. US is on the learning curve of Middle East politics.

No. Iraq is simply returning to its normal state after being forcibly changed. The US had their civil war, Iraq should be allowed to do the same.

And Iraqi in terms of civilian population.
 
They'll NEVER forget,They'll NEVER stop .It's the way they've lived for thousands of years...Look,they kill each other out of duty to their version of Islam their SWORN DUTY!

The failed foreign policy we have now will only make things worse and this message of compassion, understanding and apologies only shows continued weakness,which ,by the way, radicals feed on.

The hatred of Jews and the west and the subjugation of women is the only thing they have in common among all of the radicalized factions.
While the slightly more western ideals of capitalism and global economics have moderated some of the Muslim world the division of sophisticated Muslims from the radical Islamists is growing wider daily thanks to sharia law.(Edit: amongst other factors)

We Americans live by the separation of religion and government,with Islam ,religion IS their government and they love it like we love our Country.
They feed ..festering in their faith while the rest of the world looks on and gets closer to the reality that they ,the most radical, cant be worked with ,they cant be changed, trusted or given quarter.

We cant "nuke" just anybody(or even them) because we think it might prevent future American losses and loose talk about that is dangerous.

What we need to do is put them in a box ,quarantine them to the point that they'll have no choice but to play nice.No trade, no open accounts anywhere ,blockades, power stations off, cellular off, block satcomm ,no international travel visas ..NOTHING.Take away the tools by which they spread their hate and violence.

Enter; Russia ,China, North Korea who use radical Islam to fight against us, U.S.

By the time America really wakes up,our southern border will be non-existent,Russia(via Islam) will be the dominate world power and we'll owe our soul to China.
This is where weakness has gotten us..

Lets turn it around.

Well, no. You will notice in my note that I wrote "I don't think we're at that point yet, but what do we do if Iran nukes Israel?"

In before lock.

Why would you want to nuke Iraq? Let them deal with their own enemy and let their own people get a military leader that sort out this mess.

Yeah, we went in the 2nd time because Saddam has WMD and now we are in a mess when there's a power vacuum, so we'll use a WMD on them to eradicate the fundamentalists that moved in after Saddam is gone.

I can't believe someone would suggest that.

OK, sounds good.

Here is where your argument breaks down. The Islamists hate us because the US and Israel are allies.

What do you think is going to happen now that we have released the 5 top AQ leaders?



I think those leaders are going to stay busy being terrorists,and in a few years some massive bomb is gonna explode somewhere in America,for which they are going to be blamed,then legislation is going to get past robbing American citizens of some rights for the security of the nation.
Then,because of these "security measures"(lost rights" there will be some big arrest or capture.

I've noticed that there's been a media sleight of hand lately. They focus on one thing and pay little to no attention to the real story,which may incur public scrutiny.

This seems like the distraction story to me.

Right. The attack on the World trade center was an attack on the Jewish money people that mostly populated those buildings.

The people in the Middle east have some kind of mental state related to the extreme heat there, if you ask me.

It's really hard to say what to do. We need the oil from that region, which is the only sane excuse to even worry about that part of the world. I guess logically it could follow if we somehow could get away from needing (so much) oil we would not be held hostage by every terrorist act that happens there.

Brazil got away from an oil economy by developing their sugar cane alcohol fuel. It was slow and painful for them but they did achieve a certain amount of independence by doing it.

Yep and yet with the subsidies you have in the US for electric cars and solar power, and the threat of climate change becoming more obvious every year you keep riding that horse. Brazil took decades to switch and it will elsewhere too. Lets get off the oil and leave China and India to flounder with that addiction.

What was the deal trading five of them for one of ours, anyway? I don't pretend to know much about Bergman's background or worth, but he wasn't any kind of VIP or anything so why didn't we just trade one for one?

To distract us from the VA story. It worked.
 
I think we should all go to our man caves and start cutting oil filters open.....................again.

Anyone who thinks you can just walk away from the middle east and they won't harm us is dreaming, much as our current weak administration is doing. The Ostrich Syndrome will get you killed.

This situation is much like the bully down the street; if I ignore him and walk down another street, maybe he won't bother me. That does not work. You have to face him and do some serious butt whoopin' to get his attention.

I think they remember the Crusades and the rise of the Ottoman Empire better than they remember our short period involvement. These extremist/terrorists, are going to go after anyone who does not align themselves with their sordid Sharia philosophy.

Their goal is world domination and the enactment of Sharia Law for the entire world. They could care less who they have to eradicate to attain that goal.

Yes, one solution is to use some surgically implanted 1/4 kiloton nuclear weapons fired from drones.

I agree with most of the rest of your post, but what 'faith' do you refer to here? What I think you are referring to has nothing to do with faith. The name of religion is simply used to control and manipulate the masses. The objective of these manipulators is only to grab all the wealth and power they can, as they subjugate the ordinary citizens.

Too late....

Bombing them into oblivion (and glass) is one way, but another approach is to just drop the price of oil to about $70/barrel. Not only would this get their attention, you'd also get Putins. A two-fer.....
