So ya say ya want to defeat terrorism???
...well ya aren't gonna do it by killing people we already know are not afraid to die. That has to be done, but it won't bring about victory. These terrorist acts require a lot of financing. Ya can't field an army (terrorist or otherwise) without funding. If ya want to stop em, defund em by eliminating their source of financing, and ya have to eliminate them no matter who they are. If they are Royals in Saudi or guys like George Soros or the Koch brothers or Russia or China. No matter who it is, they have to go and the sooner and quieter the better.
BTW: The folks who are doing all the dying are at the bottom of the food chain in ISIS or Al Qaeda. When ya get a step or two above them, they are scared shitless of death because they don't believe the horse manure they are shoveling out for those below them in stature or rank.
...anyway, my theory is to defund terrorism and it will dry up.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
