The "Islamic State" is not a nation.

Give it time. Give it time

The "Islamic State" is not a nation.

They disagree. Currently, they are acting as a nation, providing goods and resournces to their population, expanding and fielding an army. They have a flag and a currency. Sounds like a nation to me.

Define: Nation

[CexMashean]

They are not recognized as a nation in the locations they are trying to operate in. You're picking what suits your needs. Typical Frost.

[The King]

Caliphate does not equal nation.

[Dlachance]

He said they are "acting" like a nation, and that they disagree. He then said it sounds like a nation. Reading comprehension.

[CexMashean]

It also sounds like, if we stick to the constitution that he so loves, we can't make a move against them unless we declare war on an actual nation, not an idea or movement.

I agree we should wipe them out, and take resources for payment, but we can't have Frost picking which parts of the constitution he thinks should be followed, and parts that shouldn't be.

The War Powers Resolution gives the POTUS power to send troops in for 60 days without a formal declaration of war. Also by being part of the UN's security council our congress can fund combat operations in support of one of their resolutions whether the POTUS wants to or not. Neither of those would require us to fight an actual recognized nation.

No, you tell me what denotes a nation. Is it recognition by the UN? I pointed out a common language, flag, currency, economy and military.

You obviously haven't read the document. Where does it state you have to declare war against a state? You just have to declare war.

You'd better love it too, punk. Without it I'm sure you'd be long dead.

Why not? You let Barry O do it daily. He gets to pick which parts of the Constitution should be followed and which parts shouldn't. Why force everyone else to follow the rules when the current commander in chief doesn't have to follow the rules? That's just ridiculous.

[CexMashean]

Whoa motherfucker, don't start saying I'm letting anyone do anything. I personally support more armed incursions into that region, and maybe a little glass parking lot making.

You'd better love it too, punk. Without it I'm sure you'd be long dead.

You're the kind of mother fucker that needs to go on a bullet diet. The only way you'd survive in a world without order would be as someone's bitch. See exhibits A and B.

By that definition, neither is Israel.

Don't fret, y'all. Muslims predict that Jesus will defeat ISIS!
