For John, BLUF: The President is moving toward the Bush II approach. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Just now on CNN, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said he liked the President's Speech.
Here is CNN's transcript of the President's Speech.

"In a region that has known so much bloodshed, these terrorists are unique in their brutality. They execute captured prisoners. They kill children. They enslave, rape, and force women into marriage. They threatened a religious minority with genocide. In acts of barbarism, they took the lives of two American journalists -- Jim Foley and Steven Sotloff."
ReplyDeleteThis is a Hitler's SA Brownshirts group attempting to form a NAZI Germany? If so, all the muscle beforehand was to cement Hitler's real win which in obtaining the nation's leadership position. Thus, I figure as long as we keep the head of ISIS out of any country's leadership role we might be able to contain this thing. However, once he arises as either the Syrian, or Egyptian head of state, then it will be much harder to stop him.
Those who do not read history and learn a remedy therefrom are doomed to repeat it. Thus I anticipate the ISIS leadership will eventually gas the people under their subjection, much as Hitler did to the Jews. However, was Hitler's religious war just a coverup, a propaganda front, to hide the outright theft of the Jewish assets since the Jews had been an very prosperous and hard working component to the Germany economy? When this has happened it will be very sadly ironic that most of these muslims were raised in countries which denied the Holocaust of the Jews existed.
