ISIS cartoon - beheading Obama (do you think he is ever going to get it)

[The Guesser]

So Vitard is saying no one should have posted this cartoon. Huh. He avoids reality to the nth degree. I guess we should just act like it didn't happen lol. Maybe we should have traded more for Bergdahl. Do you think Reagan would have made that trade. Hell no. Obama puts himself above it all, this cartoon put him in his place.

Funny stuff by the dot connector. He doesn't get it and he never will.

In 1985, while Iran and Iraq were at war, Iran made a secret request to buy weapons from the United States. McFarlane sought President Reagan's approval, in spite of the embargo against selling arms to Iran. McFarlane explained that the sale of arms would not only improve U.S. relations with Iran, but might in turn lead to improved relations with Lebanon, increasing U.S. influence in the troubled Middle East. Reagan was driven by a different obsession. He had become frustrated at his inability to secure the release of the seven American hostages being held by Iranian terrorists in Lebanon. As president, Reagan felt that "he had the duty to bring those Americans home." [...]
The arms-for-hostages proposal divided the administration. Longtime policy adversaries Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Secretary of State George Shultz opposed the deal, but Reagan, McFarlane and CIA director William Casey supported it. With the backing of the president, the plan progressed. By the time the sales were discovered, more than 1,500 missiles had been shipped to Iran. Three hostages had been released, only to be replaced with three more, in what Secretary of State George Shultz called "a hostage bazaar."
​

"So GOP lawmakers are apoplectic about Obama not giving Congress the 30-day notice required by law before transferring any detainee from Guantanamo Bay, men who have mostly been detained without charge? But will raise President Reagan upon a pillar, a man who gave sold Iran over 1,500 missiles for the release of U.S. hostages?
I have one response: shut up and sit down. Class is in session.

Another Guesser knock out. Russ down for the count

reagan would be at the ranch. Terrorist murderers have zero care who the American president is. None.

They kill no matter what. You think some old fake cowboy would have them rethinking anything? Please....you idiots who think Reagan was some great tough president are delusional

When he had irrefutable evidence that Khadafi was behind the Berlin disco bombing in 1985 he dropped a few 2 ton bombs down Khadafi's chimney. Unfortunately, Khadafi's daughter was killed but that was the end of Khadafi's little foray into the terrorism arena. Gorbachev and the Kremlin were terrified of this "cowboy" after hearing on a hot mic that the bombing (of Russia) starts in 5 minutes.

There are other instances but say what you want about him, his leadership skills were the best I have seen in any president during my lifetime.

because he was quick to bomb while being the world super power? That ain't leadership

these quick trigger knee jerk republican responses from him and bush have given rise to the groups we see now

I couldn't disagree more. It has to do more with respect than anything else. Clock a school yard bully and he won't mess with you anymore. The premise that we can simply talk these people off the ledge and offer them economic opportunities is misguided and irresponsible. Sounds great in an ivory tower classroom setting but this is the real world and there are some really bad people in the real world.

If you want world war then your strategy is the way to go. This isn't a schoolyard and there is more than one way to deal with the enemy. As we've seen.....the method of shoot first and talk later didn't work for the previous administration

Vit, pretty simple question for you and I'm curious as to your opinion.

Do you think the U.S. is perceived as stronger or weaker by our enemies since POTUS entered the WH?

Our military was certainly weakened by the unnecessary Iraq war. Pretty obvious that the previous admin decisions has hurt our standing in the world and has given rise to these terror groups we are fighting now. I don't think our enemies see us as any weaker or stronger than they did in 2008. The enemy we are fighting now are simply homicidal maniacs.....they don't kill based on their perception of anything.....they kill because that's what they do. To think they would be scared if Ronald Reagan was president is simply ridiculous. These savages don't give a fuck who is in the White House

How has our military been weakened by the Iraq War? How do you come to that conclusion?

BTW-when you say "previous admin decisions" you do know Democrats alike also voted to go to war right? Bush didn't use his executive action authorities to declare war LOL.

Not getting it, that would be you. You are comparing a deserter to 7 innocent captives. Obama let the enemy choose who they wanted in exchange for Bergdahl. You are going back 30 yrs and trying to compare apples and oranges. Where are those 30 year old missles now. We still have hostages who Obama has not any effort to negotiate for. Get real dude. You comparing this to the Reagan deal is like Obama comparing ISIS to the
Crusades. Plus I guarantee you that the people who held Bergdahl all that time were compensated with money.

November 1979 - January 1981

Corbis
An American hostage

On November 4, 1979, an angry mob of young Islamic revolutionaries overran the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than 60 Americans hostage. "From the moment the hostages were seized until they were released minutes after Ronald Reagan took the oath of office as president 444 days later," wrote historian Gaddis Smith, "the crisis absorbed more concentrated effort by American officials and had more extensive coverage on television and in the press than any other event since World War II."

um we lost thousands of American soldiers in these wars and we are weaker now.

Yes I know dems voted for it..... Not all and not Obama but given the faulty Intel from the previous administration it isn't surprising that many voted for it. Clearly this was a bush administration led war.

Another Walter swing and miss. Imagine a terrorist getting ready to behead someone.....he then thinks, before I do this I better think who is in the white house

Irrational murdering psychopaths do not think about that stuff. Only far right wing Reagan bible thumpers would actually think that matters to them.

Did the terrorists get scared away from 9/11 attacks because a republican fake cowboy was in the White House? Of course not

the idiot level reaches new heights here everyday.

Islamic State militants have threatened to behead Barack Obama and turn the U.S. into a Muslim province in the latest gruesome video to emerge from their self-styled caliphate.
The footage shows a black-clad jihadist standing over a Kurdish soldier who, in a sickening climax to the video, has his head cut off.
Before the hostage is executed, the ISIS fighter warns the U.S. president: 'Know, oh Obama, that we will reach America.
'Know also that we will cut off your head in the White House and transform America into a Muslim province.'

You don't depict any president that way. Especially not in the culture we live in now. It was horrible when similar things were done to bush

It is extremely poor taste and disrespectful

how did you feel when this came out?Be honest.
