Not only are the Kurds kicking ass, they also have a large libertarian socialist population, we may see a 2nd Catalonia if they win. Viva la revolution!

No! Get our troops in their! Give our generals full power to conduct operations anyway they want with immunity from politicians and liability. War is supposed to be UGLY! We make it pretty, so here we go again.

Everything that's happening now is out of everyone's hands, even the elites that brought all of this to be. Ebola, meddling in foreign affairs, terrorists, immigration influx, budget. There's only one ending to all this: The End Of This Superpower

The people who don't want to arm the Kurds need to take a much closer look at the Kurdish people. We absolutely should be arming them. We can count on them to not turn around on us.

I am tired of arming them today so they can fight us tomorrow. If we want ISIS gone that bad we should drone them to death. Stop giving weapons to people who hate us.

Irony is when we arm people to fight the people who we armed last.
It is a cycle that has been going on, really, since the Taliban. :/

Why aren't we carpet bombing the enemy? Notice how going to precision bombing fails. Ever since LBJ stopped Rolling Thunder we haven't had a decisive game-over-no-replay comclusion to a war.

80's-We're fighting in Afghanistan. let's arm our friend Osama Bin Laden.
90's-We're fighting Iran. Let's arm our friend Saddam Hussein
00's-They fight us
10's We're fighting Isis let's arm someone else who could become our enemy in the future.

No. The right thing to do is sit this out. The idea that we're arming folks who are the enemies of our allies, fighting with and arming people who hate us to kill others who hate us, all to enforce some arbitrary borders the UK drew at the turn of

At present what is the alternative? We know bombing is not working. We need boots on the ground and as terrible choice as this may be, it is better then nothing. Frankly, it's a pretty backward way to win a war.

We should be doing more to help our Kurdish friends. Special forces advisors, gunships, SEAL team for Intel gathering, QRF rangers. I'd want direct action supporting a Kurdish led offensive.

Just want to point out that there are no partisan filters on this vote. I know a lot here grew up during the Iraq War, but it is NOT "conservative" or "liberal" to be a hawk or a dove. Foreign policy views don't fit on the spectrum.

Actually several military experts have said the video showing a box of grenades aren't ours, we haven't made grenades with the pineapple look for years and years. So the video may be bogus. Any Military guys, can you confirm the grenade thing?

I don't know I'm not an expert, but it seems most of the problems in the middle east come from us arming people. I have no clue though maybe it wouldn't be a problem in this case who knows, but just in case I say no.

I will never get behind a plan that involves dropping weapons into a warzone, in some far-off land. and, don't get me started on the irony surrounding gun restrictions in this country vs. airdrops of artillery into another.

Do people here really not know who the Kurds are?! And these are people that vote and spew ignorance. People the Kurds have ways been our friends. They hate ISIS. They hate Taliban. They hate Baathists. They are more pro freedom than most of you here

Yep, getting even more involved in another war sounds like a great idea. With our economic situation and reputation in the middle east, what could go wrong? People, have we learned nothing from Vietnam.

In war, it is better to have no weapons than insufficient weapons that give inexperienced people the false hope
of defeating ISIS. Giving weapons can really backfire quickly if not done correctly. On the flip-side, if the weapons given can actually
