Or President John McCain, I can 100% guarantee you none of this would have happened if John McCain were in charge.
I know Republicans like I know the back of my hand, and they simply do not permit this crap to go on like with this ISIS.
This is how our big cities are too -- if crime gets too high in New York, THEN YOU GOTTA THROW THE LIBERAL mayor OUT of there and get yourself a Giulani or Bloomberg and he'll get the crime down.
It just drives me half batty, I agree with liberals on some things YET THEY CANNOT HANDLE national security. They can't lead an army. They can't protect us, when push gets to shove -- they're too busy thinking about refugee resettlement and croissants and endless meetings in Brussels, instead of how to win a war.
Putin's not handling it either, he's probably gaining weight because he's eating croissants all the time in these endless diplomatic meetings. Blah blah blah, all that ever happens is John Kerry and Lavrov talking about "making progress toward a framework for deconfliction."
Meanwhile, Europe's OVERRUN with refugees and terrorists are sneaking in as refugees and then Obama has just set up refugee intake centers in FRICKIN LEBANON, AND IRAQ!
What we're observing here with how this is all handled, is just liberal / socialist way of doing things. When it's getting someone some maternity leave and a higher wage then it's great, but when it comes to defending the country they aren't so good with that.
Besides "John McCain" or a "John Wayne" -- I'll tell you what other kind of leader we need, how about someone like iron lady Thatcher?
Now see, look at THAT -- that's someone that understood command and leadership and wasn't squishy. A liberal would never say something like that, because they don't get it.
Old Thatcher wouldn't be so weak and squishy if she were still around and in charge, Thatcher wouldn't have let terrorists run amok, and Ronald Reagan wouldn't have either.
The problem is liberalism and socialism and they just cannot be tough.
They let crime go unabated in the cities, and talk about "root causes" instead.
On the world stage, they let this caliphate stand and continue to attack the world, it's ridiculous.
I'm sorry to get so political, like left vs. right, but in the US anyway we just do not have any Democrats like LBJ or Kennedy or FDR -- ever since Jimmy Carter, there just are no tough Democrats anymore. They don't exist. We had Jim Webb in the D primary but he got ran out of there pretty fast, they all told him he sounds like a Republican.
But I'll tell ya something, if you could put Jim Webb in the oval office right now then he'd handle this whole thing and it wouldn't be a problem. He's tough. He's a vet. He's not squishy.
But politics aside -- MY MAIN POINT IS THAT IT'S RIDICULOUS the world is being TERRORIZED by this little frickin' caliphate. They've got like 40,000 fighters. The civilized world should rally its professional military forces and WIPE THEM OUT.
P.S. -- Just to note -- John Wayne was a Republican.
