“The American people are understandably concerned in the aftermath of the horrific attack in San Bernardino and increasingly apprehensive about the prospect of another terrorist attack on American soil”, the senators wrote. Is that all there is?

Look how the political discourse of the country has shifted following recent terrorist attacks and the one-upmanship xenophobia of the Republican presidential primary. However, the president rightly refused to be drawn into a ground war because “that’s what groups like [IS] want”.
President Obama is one of the leaders who has repeatedly stated he’s going to wipe the brutal Jihadist organization off the map.
Conservative MP James Bezan agreed with Dion’s assessment.
The truth is that the increasing use of guns in the United States has made our country safer. The legislation soared through the House on Wednesday, 407 to 19. The goal is to get all the actors in the region to focus on defeating ISIS, but that can’t happen until the parties also reach some kind of consensus regarding what future role Mr. Assad will be allowed to play in Syria once ISIS is defeated.
I understand that terrorists do want to attack this country, but we have a democracy only if we wish to keep it. The last remnants of this democracy must not disappear. Other bipartisan recommendations from the task force will roll out in coming weeks. America is now over $18 trillion in debt. The legislation would essentially pause the program and send an anti-Muslim message that plays into the hands of IS, the administration says.
At the time, a number of Republicans questioned why he wasn’t seeking broader authority. I’m sure ISIS is trembling at the thought.
So is Obama in danger of being abandoned over this issue?
The report, called Taking Stock: The arming of Islamic State calls for “stricter controls on the transfer, storage and deployment of arms” in order to prevent further proliferation. The most dyed-in-the-wool Obama supporter can see that this threat is metastasizing despite our current strategy.
Sen. Chris Coons (D) of DE, of the Foreign Relations Committee, says he’s been calling for a more robust approach “for several years, as have many other Democrats”. President George W. Bush and his neo-con advisers truly believed that the democratization of the Middle-East would usher in a new era less threatening to Israel and Western interests. We need the funding in place to ensure we’re prepared for the long fight.
The one exception was Pakistan, where a majority – 62 percent – had no opinion about the terror group. Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C. – has propped up Obama’s straw man of launching another US ground war, some are pretending that quick and facile military solutions exist. Amnesty also highlights that during and after the 2003 US-led invasion, Iraq was again flooded with weapon imports, many of them never adequately secured, and therefore unaccounted for.
He said ISIS was able to effectively use some of its more sophisticated weapons, specifically anti-tank missiles, to capture the Iraqi cities of Mosul, Tikrit and Fallujah previous year but has recently resorted to using improvised explosives, rather than conventional weapons, to inflict mass casualties on enemies. But I’d like to also say a word about what we should not do. If Robke doesn’t know why this country is a terrible mess, I will explain it to him.

The only global effort Mr. Obama would like the United States to lead is fighting “climate change”, and it is pitiful.
