#2 "save Western civilization"? WTF? ISIS isn't a threat to us. We'd be better off with them out of the picture, but saving ourselves? That's not even in the picture. Who writes this stuff? Who believes it?

#3 Not being targeted because of the possibility of "collateral damage." I say target rich environment. Who the hell do they think are in these training camps Mormons or Jehovah Witnesses?

#8 Collateral damage? What about the damage that results from allowing these fighters to be trained. Stupid motherf***er.

#9 Failure theater! Perhaps this time for an Iranian audience.

Some members of the administration might be unwilling to let US military might consolidate the Greater Persian Empire.

It is a threat, but only because of (1) the refugees they create and (2) our PC insistence on admitting said refugees due to ISIS persecution and genocide. No ISIS, no humanitarian need to admit Muslim refugees.

#12 Many Muslims, in UK and outside UK, believe that Earth is flat---not even Obama would be that... Never mind.

#13 Many Muslims believe in Allah and that the Koran is divine. They're not particularly sane people.

#14 The notion that collateral damage helps recruitment has no validity at all. In WW2 there was plenty of collateral damage in Germany and Japan, and that only made potential sufferers from same wishing that the targets would go away.
It is hard to envision the motivation of an individual who would go to a training camp merely because it may be bombed.
I recall a bold attempt to bomb Gestapo headquarters in Copenhagen during WW2. It failed and a school full of Danish children was hit instead. The Danes did not blame the US it. They blamed the Nazis.

The Danes aren't Arab.

#16 And you don't have the same MSM today. In those days, the MSM supported the war and wanted the Allies to win.

Yes, I know that they didn't call the news the MSM in those days.

#17 Obama looks at those Madrassah and thinks, "That could be me down there."
