Glad we have a President who thinks and aims before he shoots. Otherwise we get more Iraq Wars – which created ISIS in the first place.

Media too hung up on hawks vs doves. We need good judgment, not some desired predisposition. #POTUS ran on good judgment.

President Obama should threaten ISIL with having to listen to John McCain on a loop, they’d come out with flowers in their hair.
