"We will do what's necessary to protect Americans and see that justice is done for what we saw with the barbaric killing of Jim Foley. So we're actively considering what's going to be necessary to deal with that threat, and we're not going to be restricted by borders," said White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes.

But officials say the situation now is different because Islamic State militants represent a direct threat to Americans and American interests. General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on Thursday that Islamic State cannot be defeated without addressing the part of the group that is based in Syria.

Edit: I accidently posted this in Gaming, meant to put it in Politics. Is there a way for me to switch it or does a mod have to?

Whens Obama going to hand back his Nobel peace prize?

as much as i hate the US getting involved in more shit.. ISIS needs to go

the beheading looked fake. I think it was staged.

After he's done purging the Middle East.

I'm cool with that. ISIS is the Islamic equivalent of the Nazis. Every single one of them needs to be dead.

Bomb Syria?!! How can they do that, they can carry out out air operations in Iraq because the Iraqi govt invited them.

Syria is completely different case as the US and west and their ME allies have been ARMING ISLAMISTS over the past two years against the secular govt. In fact its one of the main reasons for rise of ISIS.

Secondly it can not carry out operations in syria without UN sanction, which Russia and China will veto.

I really hope they're not using it as a ruse to topple the secular Assad govt. The best solution is to stop supporting the syrian rebels and let Assad and Iran sort them out.

I understand the every single one of them need to be dead, but the bomb seriously no, this almost alway gonna get some innocent in the way..

And syria won't accept this anyway.

Good.

i have not seen the beheading video only pics but idc about politics so usa can do whatever it wants with its bombs
