We weren't able to kill enough of them to stop extremism during the 8 years Bush was in office. Surely just a few more years, right? Sooner or later, surely.
How many Christians were openly beheaded or crucified during the Bush years? Who was in control of Iraq during those years? ISIS?

Get real, Dex. This IS the rise of a Caliphate, and they aren't going to stop just because
