I generally like Al Jazeera's news coverage, but .........

....... I'm watching a "Consider This" interview with former CIA director James Woolsey about ISIS, and Woosley asserted that the administration is acting like "Europe in the 1930s" in not confronting ISIS. And Antonio Mora, the host, is not challenging him on any of his propaganda. Very disappointing.

I've kept quiet on the ISIS as I tend towards peaceful solutions/pacifist to resolve issues. But there may not be one as it relates to ISIS. I guess my question back to A.J. (based upon what you've written is)

Is it a Global "War on Terror"? Or strictly an issue for Americans?

Why not a global whole world approach?

Who within their spere (ISIS) could influence them - because it's quite obvious the USA can't. They can't hear anything about us or - view a single American as a human being.

Finally - They are stupid to try and egg on my favorite cool reptile with emotional pleas to things that happened 80 years ago. Obama doesn't play that shit. He's just - cool. Calculated. Measured. Detached.
