Why the change of heart?

Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner believes that this is largely due to the horrific atrocities against those captured by ISIS, and especially the beheading of James Foley. 

I would add this:

We’re Americans who like being the big dog on the block, unlike President Obama, who has lost Round One in our match-up with ISIS, as John Hayward opines. Killing Osama bin-Laden is so 2011. There are some new roaches that need exterminating before they drag the entire Middle East back to the 7th century, destroy our ally Israel, and butcher more American civilians — both abroad and here at home.
