47% of Americans either have amnesia or simply no cares or skin in the game

Send in ours since theirs won't fight
In November, just 43% supported deploying ground troops, while 55% of Americans opposed it; now the number in support has ticked up to 47%.
Do you know how the governments of Egypt and Jordan are suddenly now reacting to ISIS? Well, I heard an interesting statistic this morning; there are still more Jordanians and Egyptians supporting ISIS than who support their own governments. Especially in Egypt.

It's easy to sit in front of your TV and holler, 'let's go get those motherfuckers'! Personally, I'm just glad we have executive leadership that's a little more subtle and realizes Muslims have to fight their own battles. Let's hope that leadership can hold up against a bunch of armchair commandos with short memories and no skin in the game.
