And in 100 years and countless trillions of dollars there will be a culture/religion/ideology that wants to see your family and friends dead.
You'll just be that much more in the hole.

You'll just be that much more in the hole.
Wow, I accomplished something the US couldn't?
Like we didn't against Vietnam?
Or should we still be sending troops to that war, because, WE AIN'T NO QUITTER and all?

You have a lot of opinions about what we shouldnt be doing.But I havent heard anything that sounds like a solution from you except to stick our heads in the sand and let therm have their way.
Yeah, I get that way when I pay for things.
A) Let me opt out of the completely absurd military spending budget.
or
B) Stop squandering it on nonsense that has no effect whatsoever on us like this feel good circle jerk.

You can opt out.Go live in some other country.Preferably one with a big sandy expanse so you can get your head into the ground easier and enjoy getting cornholed by the goat fuckers.Has no effect on us whatsoever?You gotta be shittin me. 9/11 had no effect? Going after the people that did and potentially will attack us is the only answer.But I'll ask again,what would be the right way to go about it.
I can't keep having a discussion when someone tries to claim we should ignore bin laden and Al baghdadi.
Bin Laden's death and this new character had no effect on our security whatsoever.
The correct way to go about it would be to "not."
No, you can, you just can't justify your position because there really is no good validation for this.
It's "FUK YEAH, MURIKKA! DIE MOOSLIMB GOAT FUCKERS!" But beyond that, there is no reason we should be over there, should be wasting time and lives on this or should continue the failed "War on Terror."
You think you're arguing from a position of moral superiority.
I'm not going to argue with you for the sake of arguing.
Let's take a look at who is arguing from a position of emotion/morality vs. objectivity.
"Revenge feels good."
Vs.
"We are wasting money with no gain and killing our troops in the process."

Ignorance. Moral superiority. What's the difference, anyway.

Do you like driving a car? If we left them to their own device the oil from the middle east would cease to flow.The validation is that they attacked us.Your only justification is that...oh,you havent offered a justification except that we shouldnt,thats pussy,I'm out.

Terrorism will never end. Especially in that part of the world. So we will be there FOREVER.

Hunt all of them down and kill them.
Hunt all of them down and kill them.
911 was our own fault in that we allowed SCUM past our Borders. Those people should never have been here at all, let alone flying airplanes.
Same with the Boston Bombers.
Iraq was a very stupid intervention that has cost the lives of 90% of the Christians that were living there under Saddam's protection.
Intervening in Iran by destabilizing the Shah was idiocy.
Overthrowing Qadaffi in Libya was sickening.
We have done ok in Egypt, Israel, and Jordan, tho.

Its always been about oil.What in the fuck else would we want to be in that hell hole for?
Darth,
Retribution and going after anyone else even peripherally involved is a good thing. True, the nutjobs who boarded those planes on 9/11 were beyond stopping.
Going after the others involved is to send a message to those who may be like minded to let them know that fucking with us comes with a price. That will dissuade some, and that is a good thing.
To the others that will not be dissuaded, well then, fuck it. Kill them all.
Why is it a good thing?
Clearly it is not dissuading people, so why is it a good thing?
FINALLY I am looking forward a week of news.
The Dems and Media will reveal their Treason a thousand times.
They would be thrilled if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi escaped, and dozens if not hundreds of American Service Members died in the failed attempt.
AND WE ALL KNOW IT.

I'm very open minded. I'm OK with killing them in bunches too.

We should have won that war in the early 70s.Wow, I accomplished something the US couldn't?
Like we didn't against Vietnam?
Or should we still be sending troops to that war, because, WE AIN'T NO QUITTER and all?
If we'd fought it like a war and not like a diplomatic event we would have.
If you are going to fight, fight like it's an existential threat, not like you're worried about hurting people's feelings.

Oil is the foundation of the world economy, and is as necessary for survival as food and water....so now it's about oil?
How very Republican of you.
In fact, without oil you wouldn't get food or water and would die long before freezing to death in the winter (also from lack of oil).
So, if oil isn't worth fighting over, what is ?

The difference between the middle east and Africa is oil.
There is a reason that parts of Africa are allowed to collapse into lawless hell holes and nobody cares, while the middle east has every major world power involved in every petty squabble between one goat herder and his neighbor.
