Apparently, Obama's speech tonight was a giant slap in the face to ISIL. So apparently this is a definite declaration of war. What do you guys think? Any concerns?

Plenty of real ones, but let's keep it light.
when one of the countries you labeled as the new axis of evil is on your side, you might want to rethink your actions.

Obama and Bush are different people. There are several subtle ways to tell, including the fact that Obama is a black democrat from Chicago, while Bush is a white republican from Texas.
And do you seriously think we should support ISIS just to spite Iran, or are you just trying to be snarky?

That seems to be the only difference between the two really, Obama and Bush are the same when it comes to waging wars, and spying.
You already supported ISIS, McCain sure seems buddy buddy with them. Had a nice photoshoot with them and everything.
I never said you should support ISIS, I said you need to rethink what you are about to do and think it through for once. come up with an exit strategy for a change. come up with a long term plan, not just bomb them and see what happens.

You do realize there were other groups in Syria besides ISIS, right? The Free Syrian Army was a pretty significant force that was seeing some success, and was mostly a moderate, secular militia fighting against Assad. But since nobody did anything to support them, they saddled up with some of the more extremist groups in the country for lack of other allies. At this point they've actually fought against ISIS in some areas as well. It's not like the only two options were siding with ISIS or siding with Assad, there are more than two factions operating in Syria, and two years ago, ISIS wasn't yet the most powerful anti-Assad group.

Personally, despite having been very strongly against most of our military foreign actions for the last decade+ (I thought the Iraq war was a senseless tragedy built on a premise of lies and the Afghanistan conflict a mismanaged exercise in wasting lives and money) I have few problems with any military action against ISIS. These are people who genuinely deserve to die, and are, or intend to become (by their own admission), a threat anyone who isn't them.
That said, their videos probably have the best combat action footage I've ever seen.

I found it quite ironic that Obama called with the king of Saudi Arabia for advice on ISIS. But then again, if Obama wants to fight against guys who behead people for 'sorcery', destroy cultural heritage, and grant no rights to women, he might as well ask for advice from a guy who beheads people for 'sorcery', destroys cultural heritage, and grants no rights to women. Right?

On the other hand, war is indeed very lucrative. At the end it doesn't really matter who wins, as long as the fighting and spending continues.

They'll keep attacking us either way, and they kill our citizens and allies while disrupting our trade, so it is a little our fight it just. It isn't as dramatic as flying planes into buildings, but we are under attack. I know isolationism seems like a simple answer but it rarely makes things better, and often makes it worse long term. The problem isn't usually that we shouldn't get involved but the extent and nature of that involvement, which is when things get tricky.

Attacking them while our borders are open is an invitation to disaster. There are already reports of plans to cross from the South and launch attacks. Sorry but Islamic terrorism has been occurring for a thousand years. Even the Ottomans had to deal with it. What will happen is we will bomb them. The countries with skin in the game bordering them will continue to do...nothing. Sorry I'm too old a bunny. I've seen this Tv show like four times already.

Holy gak this is a show?
"American GIs are being decimated by Nazi dinosaurs all over the Western front. Danger 5 heads to Belgium to investigate and has a series of close shaves with a trigger-happy Triceratops and a perverted Nazi Pterodactyl. Claire discovers that the dinosaurs have all been implanted with a mysterious type of crystal, native to Antarctica and Danger 5 embark on a journey to the South Pole. Antarctica proves to be a lost plateau of prehistoric wonder where Danger 5 encounter the bizarre Dr Josef Mengele and his sinister volcano base filled with Nazi dinosaur minions."
That's a synopsis of an episode. How have I not seen this.

Heh... the hypocrisy is galling... A) I'm waiting for Democrats to push Obama to get UN approval... B) I'm waiting for an actual Declaration of War and/or Congressional Authorizations... C) I'm waiting for Democrats to hammer Obama for "going at it alone", with his 9-nation coalition (Bush had 40+ nations)... D) The schadenfreude is especially delicious. *I don't mind "going to War to destroy ISIS"... I just want the following: 1) Have a real fething plan with clear objectives 2) What is "victory"? 3) What's the exit strategy? 4) Then, have Congress vote on it clearly.

Definitely, but then again, it makes you wonder how 'real' all of this becomes. The US wants to fight against a group that does all these horrible things by maintaining alliances with regimes that do exactly the same thing, which kinda shows that maybe all these horrible things aren't that relevant, it's only relevant who is the one carrying them out.
In other words: everything's fine kids, our leaders are playing their silly games again, don't take them too seriously please!
