The neocons are war profiteers, and pretty clear in their intentions to put the US in a permanent state of war.

The Islamic State is a goldmine for them.

Just nine days after the fall of the World Trade Center, George W. Bush announced that he was imposing a radical new policy on virtually the entire globe: “Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.”

As dramatic as the statement was, just about every phrase was open to question in one form or another. But rather than launching into a long and vigorous debate about the meaning of terrorism or America’s right to impose diktat on the world at large, congressmen turned their minds off and gave Bush a standing ovation.

Today, the same Bush Doctrine is sinking beneath the waves as a growing portion of the punditocracy declares that some forms of terrorism are better than others and that harboring a terrorist may not be so bad if it advances U.S. interests. But once again, the response is not questioning, debate, or even applause, but silence.

The latest evidence of a sea change in establishment thinking is a blog that Ahmed Rashid, a prominent Middle East correspondent, recently published on The New York Review of Books website. Entitled “Why We Need al-Qaeda,” it argues that Al Qaeda and its Syrian affiliate, Al Nusra, are evolving in a more moderate direction in growing contrast to its rival, the super-violent Islamic State. So why not use Al Nusra as a counterforce against both Bashar al-Assad and ISIS?

From my experience people get pissed off when they think they are being used. I suppose then will have to cozy up to ISIS as a counterweight.

and acquiesced to, in the words of Dr. (Martin Luther) King (Jr.) by `the appalling silence of the good.' "

is new about this? Most of us know it, and Bernie
has pointed it out several times.

Still, good for MOM, now when do we hear this
admission from other candidates?

Couple countries full of undereducated young adult males all ready to run amuck, loot, kill people and grab woman. barbarians. Let the major Govs in that area- sort it out themselves. They can buy help directly from the gunrunners. Leave America and Americans taxpayer money out of it.

Another 'side effect' of the war profiteers is an America who hands over more taxpayers, Federal and State money to war, then to their own citizens at home. Trillions were squandered.

Most people don't know him yet - so he polls poorly. Give him some time and see what develops.
