I never thought I’d say this, but I won’t object if we put troops back on the ground in Iraq to destroy this Islamic State organization. Even if we didn’t owe it to the Kurds, this group is so vicious and irrational that they make the Nazis look like pikers. The damage they are doing is incalculable, and it’s happening with lightning speed. I’m glad our air force is going after them today. But they need to be rolled up. No one is safe in areas that Islamic State controls. Trying to push into Kurdistan and take Irbil is enough to arouse us out of our slumber.
I thought invading Iraq was rash and irresponsible. I had no idea.
But we can’t in good conscience stand back while these lunatics destroy community after community and murder with impunity.
