So - who is JV now?

 

 

 

"The British Press now refers to the ISIS problem in Syria as Obama's Golf War..."

It really pains me to say this. A few months ago, when our President referred the latest group of international thugs as "JV", I cringed. I cringed for a couple of reasons. First, for a President, who got into office with the thinnest of resumes, to call someone else "JV", took some stones. Second, we did not know much about ISIS at that time - however, I as a citizen, knew enough to take this group very seriously.

This group threatened to kill an American in the most grotesque way. And they did, by publically cutting off his head. They have also threatened to fly their black flag over the White House. One Senator said the other day they are planning a "9/11 attack" on one of our major cities. Everything this group claims they want to do, I take seriously. Why? All of my life I have only really feared one type of person. And this is a person who has nothing to lose. This group, like Al Qaeda did, looks at death as nothing more than martyrdom. As much as we cherish life, ISIS has no regard for it what so ever.

As we continue to cut our military, send pink slips to thousands of our middle grade officers, ISIS numbers keep growing. Seems like just yesterday we estimated their numbers to be 10,000. Now we estimate them to be 17,000. They have the ability to recruit from all over the world, including Western countries. We are sure the one who decapitated Foley was a Brit. We also know there are Americans in this group, possibly even some from Minnesota.

One terror expert said this group is so brazen, they might even try some attacks on a small scale. For example, a terrorist armed with an AK-47 and some explosives hitting the MOA or a sporting event. Or a church service, like they are doing in Iraq. The terrorist would not care if he was shot dead while doing this heinous act. Remember - martyrdom.

Mr. President, I know this is not your cup of tea, but get ready for war. This group of "JV" terrorists has suddenly grown up to be (as Chuck Hagel put it), "like nothing we have ever seen before." Put the Pentagon on war footing, come up with a battle plan, and fix this problem before it fixes us. Our fragile economy cannot take another hit like we took on 9/11. We don't want anymore innocent people to die. Get back to work, get your suit on, and act like the Commander in Chief.
