ORIGINAL: BoscoX A desperate stretch to try to deny it What I posted is no stretch at all One of your troll friends posted the same narrative on a thread right here. Maybe if I get time later I will link to it its certainly a common meme amongst the left---practically everything the right does is an isis recruiting tool to them. Well since it was the right that..... .....started this and got us into the new ME quagmire. .....failed to take out ISIS progenitors as early as 2003 when the CIA specifically pointed out who they were and what they were doing, before and starting right after our invasion of Iraq. .....totally butchered Iraqi govt. society, civil organ., police enforcement, Baathist hegemony resulting in..... .....a sectarian war the likes of which hadn't been in many generations. .....and whose constituency profited immensely from it. .....and used all of this to denigrate all efforts from the ensuing govt. from trying any means to rectify the problems. .....and.....and...look what we have now and have had ever since. Excuse me, but did not Trump claim that Obama founded ISIS? And, Mr. Rodgers, while part of your logic is applicable, it is not the whole story. The Imams running these organizations are claiming that the US and all western governments are hell bent on killing all Muslims, and every time any president authorizes a drone or air strike on a possible target and there are civilian casualties, these men basically play the "I told you so" card and gain more recruits. Now, one military force has repeatedly, albeit they dont always practice what the preach, has stated that this technique is flawed and surgical tactical strike teams (read assassination or sniper teams) would be more effective and have less chance of civilian casualties. Of course this is the same military that blows the hell out of neighborhoods to hit one kaytusha rocket launcher killing 20 plus civilians at a shot. But then, this government's intelligence service has (allegedly) a large number of deep operatives in many of these organizations, and not very good at sharing intel that would make such operations possible. Of course, we had a similar problem in the southwest in the last half of the 19th century. Apaches would raid, the US Army would punish those Apaches on the reservation which lead to young Apache braves jumping the reservation to join men like Geronimo, Coshise, Mangas and others. Hmm, seems that history is repeating itself.....
