The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. -- W, September 17, 2001

In light of recent activities I believe that this characterization needs to be revisited and discussed anew.

What terrorist organization has been more successful in recent years to consider these guys "JV Team?" When was the last time Al Qaida blew up a jet plane? If these guys are "JV" while being more successful than the acknowledged pros, when do we redefine/reverse their roles?

When they inflict a massive attack on the US again. We see ourselves as king of the hill and if they dare attack us on our homeland and pull it off it must be the "varsity team".

We lost several hundred Americans per year in Iraq. Until Obama ended that madness. France is not a ward of the United States. It can take care of its own problems.
Clinton and Obama then sowed terror in Libya and armed them to do the same to Syria. This isn't just about Iraq. The JV President has been pursuing Neocon policy for quite some time. To "Democratize" the Islamic world by toppling governments in the Arab Spring.

How is that working out for you? Good policy? Want to continue what Bush started?

I want an end to the madness, and that starts by reversing US policy. By helping Russia and others stop the terrorists. By actually going in there in an assault and getting the job done. To end ISIS.

And sure enough, on queue, I just heard Carly Fiorina on the radio quoting the "contained" comment out of context. Apparently being a political "outsider" doesn't say much of anything about one's ethics. So much for the system corrupting the pols. Most are already there before they've held office.
Not surprising from Fiorina. She's already built herself a solid track record of dishonesty. And she's not the only GOP candidate (or former candidate, e.g., Romney) who's already misrepresenting this.

It is disappointing to see the "liberal" media continue to repeat this without context. Of course that merely reinforces what most savvy people understand: the problem with the big media isn't political bias, it's profit bias. They are biased towards controversy and scandal because that's the formula that draws eyeballs, and thus advertisers.
