Islamic State of mind.

Unlike Alquida, the Islamic State is a real state, it's just its boarders are in a state of dispute. It collects taxes, sells oil, and has a GDP.

Unlike with Alquida, we can actually declare war on the Islamic state, and that would give us the legal right to kill them however we chose, it would also subject them to UN rules of warfare, sanctions, and elevate their atrocities to war crimes subjecting their state and all its citizens to pay the penalty for the state's actions.

Congress should NOT pass the president's 'run out the clock and make it the next presidents problem, JV' plan, but should instead simply declare war with the Islamic State.

If they want to call themselves a state, treat them like one.

And try anyone returning from there with treason.
