More Refugees Than Since WWII

The scenes in Hungary of refugees into Europe trying to flee

Anything to be from the barbarism of ISIS free

Tragic beyond comprehension or words

Total barbarism that thus far the civilized world’s response has been absurd

Taking in refugees in Europe is obviously a noble humanitarian goal

But will not drive a mortal stake into ISIS’ body and soul

About as effective as fighting crabgrass or dandelions by cutting the tops and not pulling out the roots

Each day another area sprouting more ISIS fresh blades or shoots

If you are going to eradicate this menace you are going to have to have boots

You are going to have to deny these barbarians any access to petroleum loot

You are going to have to get in the social media war to stem their recruiting tide

But Obama is clueless and under him the strength of our armed forces continues to subside

Instead of beheadings what we need to see are thousands of dead ISIS bodies killed by bombs by the thousands and combat brigades

Ground up to be fed to the pigs or left to rot to the bones and then dumped into ocean in a never ending cascade

With Turkey sealing its border to incoming jihadists fighters trying to ISIS join

If caught slicing their nuts from their loins

Brutal though the idea may be half measures in this fight will not avail

Gnat-like air strikes only are doomed to fail.

More refugees not immigrants as the media might wish to sugarcoat are on the move than since WWII

Walking hundreds of miles or lining up for trains in longer and longer, more desperate queues

If the civilized world is serious about stopping the flood and reversing ISIS’ march to victory course

United it must wage war with no quarter, no punches pulled at the Caliphate’s source
