What an emboldened ISIS does in towns it conquers

While post-America vets "moderate" Syrian forces that then defect to the jihadists, and puts Susan "The Video Caused It" Rice in charge of micromanaging the effort to combat the jihadists, much to the frustration of the military leaders who actually know what the hell they're talking about, ISIS solidifies its caliphate with stomach-turning ruthlessness,

offing those it conquers by the hundreds at at time:

They were taken from their homes, some pulled from their beds, in the middle of the night.
They were fathers, brothers and sons, members of the U.S.-allied Albu Nimr tribe -- the Sunni clan considered among the last holdouts against ISIS in Iraq's western desert.
About 50 members of the tribe were abducted in Hit in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, during the early morning hours on Saturday, Sheikh Nabil Al-Ga'oud, a tribal leader, told CNN.
Their fate is unknown. But Al-Ga'oud and others believe they are likely dead, the latest casualties of ISIS who have killed hundreds of members of the tribe in mass executions in recent days.

and bidding on captured girls at sex-slave auctions:

The Real War on Women—
A video surfaced this week showing ISIS fighters attending a sex slave auction.
The blue and green-eyed Yazidi girls fetched the highest price.

George Bush was wrong about a lot of things - increasing the federal role in education, beginning the subsidization of play-like "energy companies," and expanding Medicare to include prescription drugs come to mind - but his basic foreign policy doctrine, that you can't wait until threats fully develop and directly impact the homeland to address them, is being proved to be a basic truth about the world in the age of jihad.

And we're not heeding it.
