Poll: Military action against ISIS

wrong again, eh, OT?

Some 63 percent of Americans back a Pentagon strike against the terrorists to 16 percent who don’t. A year ago, those numbers were reversed when Americans were asked about striking Syrian troops commanded by President Bashar Assad, with 60 percent opposing military action and 20 percent supporting it.

The flip-flop comes as television news is filled with stories of horrific murders of those captured by ISIS, and reports of American airstrikes against the militants.

It also comes as Obama fights with his national security team and Hill Democrats calling for action. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, today backed military action while on "Meet the Press."

The YouGov poll revealed a rare change of heart for Americans, many war-weary with the U.S. actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.

What’s more, the support for military action was spread among political opposites. Some 60 percent of Democrats, 60 percent of independents and 76 percent of Republicans support military action against the terrorists.

Had we supported the syrian airstrike and helped the "rebels" it may have changed everything...

how that would look is dependent on how a person perceives things..
Liberal view:... rebels would take over Syria and have free elections, and became a peaceful nation.. prisoner swaps would then trade a few american soldiers for everyone held in gitmo,.. they would go on to a career painting and showing their artwork..


conservative view.. Syria would be controlled by radical islamic terroists.. the free syrian army,(rebels) would have been pushed back to Kurdistan,.. and Obama would be bogged down in another war on the wrong side again... probably bombing the poor kurds into submission for the "rebels/radicals..

but then we know realty sucks at times...

besides we did arm the radicals.. we left them everything they need to take over the region in nice little well maintained units all across Iraq.. all they had to do was drive over and pick them up while the Iraqi army surrendered and ran.. :mad:
