Does ISIS prefer a Republican or Democrat to win the presidential election?

[Hypoxia]

I'll agree ISIL could give a shit about politics within The Great Satan. I'll agree that a GOP prez would more likely be taunted into doing something really stupid, in keeping with party tradition, like putting more USA troops on the ground. The clever statesman gets someone else to do the fighting. Best for USA are ISIL attacks on France, Germany, Russia, Israel. Let THEM do the dirty work. No, a GOP prez will want to blow a few trillion bucks more on useless posturing, general devastation, and recruiting more jihadists. Duh.

 

[intolerance]

Recruiting more Jihadists is bs

The only person who might be a dove is the recently elected UK leader of the opposition Jeremy Corbyn.

In the last few days he refused to say he would authorise deadly force if armed terrorists were shooting on UK streets. He also opposes the use of the UK's nuclear weapons in any circumstance he can imagine.

He is a lifelong pacifist, and being elected leader of the Labour Party has not changed his views.

I would imagine that it only entrenched his views and got him the job. Lifelong pacifist as a PM might be interesting! Not sure if good interesting should bad guys start shooting up London though. In times of peace would be real nice. Or at least if UK is not involved in war.

Here in Canada a pacifist could get elected I think. WWIII might stop one.

I bet every dead ME civilian child or adult breeds 1 militant at least. Hitler tried to break London's morale with blitz, Allies (mostly RAF night attacks) killed many more than Nazis did. Neither campaign broke morale. In fact did the opposite, folk knuckled down and did what was necessary. While more young lads went off to fight.

Creating a radical fighter is a lot easier than killing one. Probably take half as much time, effort and money to stop him from becoming a radical fighter as it does to kill him after the fact.

Yeah, right. They're such nice guys at heart:

Not that what terrorist would prefer should really be a deciding factor but as everybody has pointed out and miles knows a Republican would be their choice. Obama is simply more efficient at killing them AND not getting tricked into chasing them around the desert. Clinton didn't fall for the trap either. Hell Bush I and Reagan declined but they are RINOs.

Looks like "stop him from becoming a radical fighter" is a difficult concept for you.

 

[miles]

Republican. Always a chance a Dem will be a dove and not respond to their taunts an threats as violently as a Rep. And as that is the response they want then they would prefer a Republican.

Incoherent.

 

[Sean Renaud]

If that's incoherant you should learn to read miles.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

Incoherent.

I love how the absence of a comma makes mentioning Miles in the third person as being incoherent to Miles himself an accidental diss.

 

[Finklestein]

Democrat.

Moron^^^

Go back to school, idiot.

I noticed that, too. Fucking unintentional funny at its best.

Yes, it is. Extremely difficult.

 

[Wrong Element]

If I was a terrorist and pondering this question, I guess I'd check and see under which administrations terrorists have had the most success. And choose accordingly.

Apparently terrorist can only hurt you if they kick you in the balls and sending people who lack that anatomical feature makes us safer. I always knew God was a sadist for putting those on the outside instead of safe an internal where they belong.

 

[badbabysitter]

Hmmm....that's a tough one.

Not really


there have been more terrorist attacks on US soil under Republican administrations

Republicans sold weapons to Iran and Iraq and helped create the Taliban

having the GOP in office would be the gift that keeps giving for them

Right answer. Wrong rationale.

They'd favor a Republican because of all the increased domestic upheaval and protests over air strikes and targeted killings. Because Democrats are only moderately opposed to those tactics when they occupy the White House. Watch the shit hit the fan when the keys to the Oval Office change hands.

Is anyone here old or educated enough to remember when the Iranians released their American hostages after holding them for a year?

Old enough? Not really.
Educated enough? You bet.

Are you honest enough to tell the class what really happened or are you going to give all the credit to Reagan?

You mean the ones that were held longer than they should have been at Reagan's request so they could be released after he took office?

You have to know what happened in order to lie.
You're giving him credit for even actually knowing?

I'm in no way going to claim there isn't a large amount of partisanship but I think especially following years of boots on the ground that bombing would have been largely ignored no matter who was in the White House and in this case it depends on what else changes. GITMO and the Patriot Act I just accept are part of America now and I shake my fist but there's no point in being pissed about it. Nothing is going to happen.

Granted I'm still about 55/45 for Dems here but is that confidence that Republicans will take the White House?
