| Dem Congressman: 'Forces That Will Rise If ISIS Is Destroyed Are Nearly as Evil as ISIS' |

| "Better the evil you know than the evil you don't?" [CNSNEWS] Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca. ), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, warned Tuesday that destroying ISIS would only empower those fighting against the terrorist group -- who are almost as evil as ISIS. I know this evil. "Be very, very quiet. You might make them mad!" "If you destroy one power in the Middle East, you empower the other side, and the four groups that are fighting ISIS now are in many ways nearly as evil as ISIS itself, and in fact, those who are fighting against ISIS today on the ground have killed far more Americans than ISIS has," said Sherman, top Democrat on the Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee. I know that evil, too: "You can't fight them! There are too many of them and they're braver and smarter than we are!" Obama is planning to lay out his strategy for defeating ISIS on Wednesday. Sherman said Obama should explain to the country "how complex the situation is and how you cannot just waive a magic wand and have ISIS disappear," because, "the destruction of ISIS "doesn't mean that truth and justice just emerges from the soil of the Middle East." I know that evil, too: "Let them fight it out among themselves." In an interview on C-SPAN's "Washington Journal," Sherman was asked what strategy he would endorse if he were advising the president. "I would say his cautious approach has been a good one, and caution is called for," Sherman said. "Be vewwwy vewwwy cautious!" "I think he has to respond to his critics who oversimplify the situation dramatically and play to an American public that's used to watching old Western movies where you have only the black hat and the white hat in the Western movie." "The world is made up of shades of gray! There's not that much difference between them and us. First we should try talking to them. Give them money..." Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Ca.) is an evil little person. |

| #2 It's not that I'm afraid of ISIS or that we have to be cautious with them. I think they'll be good target practice for our pilots but I hope we don't have to spend too much money on it when we're already having to pay for ObamaCare. Maybe I wouldn't be so cynical about this whole ISIS thing if there weren't so many more immediate threats to which our illustrious president is not responding at all. The biggest threats I see are the Mexican border and Iran and he isn't doing squat about them. So how can I trust him when he all of sudden says ISIS is such a big deal? I'd like to know a little more about how they got started and where they get their guns and money. They didn't just pop up out of the sand one morning. Aren't they some of the same people we were helping to rebel against Assad? No? Are we so sure that among those so called "moderate" muslims in Syria there were no future ISIS bad guys? I find that difficult to believe. I'm sorry, there is just too much that I don't know about this thing and the bottom line is I don't trust Obama to tell me. I don't trust him to fight a proper war either. I don't trust him to execute a proper kinetic action. I have so little trust in this guy that I seriously believe the best possible place for him is on the golf course. |
