Your unAmerican pacifist mentality is an example why this country has fallen from greatness.
How does my comment make me unAmerican or a pacifist? Just answer my question, Steve. What would his coming home have accomplished?
He would have hunkered down in the White House situation room with his commanders plotting a strategy in case the Brussels attack, at the heart of NATO, was a precursor to something larger. It would have reassured the American people, by coming home putting our country and citizens first, that he was very concerned with the safety of other Americans in the area abroad.
OK. Thanks.
If you need reassurance, let me remind you that you have a better chance of being struck by lightning than a terrorist attack. Our president and our security agencies have done a very good job of keeping us safe, and as an American I am very proud of them and I will continue to walk out my door each day and not give the jihadi creeps the pleasure of sending me into hysterics.
Obama's reaction was quite the insult to ISIS, actually. Don't we all HATE being ignored? Obviously, he is not and has not been ignoring ISIS, or we would be overrun already. If our next president decides to take a more aggressive military stance toward ISIS, I won't be sorry at all. I am not informed enough to make those decisions, so I will go with the flow and count it pretty darned effective so far in keeping my personal keister safe.
