Islamic State vs. The World (except Canada)

it's amazing how easily the war machine can be fired up.  every news affiliate is running stories "ISIS recruiting Americans and smuggling across Mexican border?  details at 7"  this after Iraq-2003 became the most unpopular war in the history of post-industrial revolution imperial society.  it helps that it's a Democrat, otherwise liberals would be asking the more uncomfortable questions, while Republicans are only capable of thinking of it as a "bad investment"

Isn't it the fifth one?

The third one the West is fighting against Iraq.

It's the fifth war involving Iraq in my lifetime (Iran-Iraq, Gulf War, Operation Desert Fox, Iraq 2003 and this one)

Obama is the 4th consecutive President to bomb Iraq.

and the pres before him armed Iraq!
