Re: "Till we run out of fuel and bullets" -- ISIS video stokes Jordan backlash
I twice stated we could do this by properly arming and supporting our Mideast allies and providing modern technologically based air support that would absolutely devastate ISIS -- with commitment from those allies to put their own combat troops to the fight! Instead, you have to go off on a rant that had nothing to do with what I said.
He's more interested in not pissing off Iran, even though the White House secretly admits there is a less than 50/50 chance for a nuke agreement, and Iran is propping up Assad in Syria. Obama is on the verge of making the biggest mistake of his life, and perhaps the biggest mistake in U.S. history by not committing to minimum levels of involvement that would assure the annihilation of ISIS.
Gee, not even a "Thanks for your service"?Just because you are a 20 year combat vet does not mean nothing to me ...
Bring them on here and let's see them post that themselves. Translation: I don't believe you. Sorry to be so blunt, but I don't know any true combat veteran, particularly of Iraq and/or Afghanistan, who think we're taking the right approach by not doing squat. I know recent vets who do hold that view. They were supply sargeants and clerk-typists. They don't know squat, either.... as I know plenty of combat vets who would disagree with you and say that we need to stay out of it.
You don't even bother to read what is said to you before you initiate the standard-issue leftist knee-jerk reaction. I didn't say "We need to put boots on the ground" nor did I say, "We need to arm Syrian separatists" anywhere in that post. And newsflash, dude, the separatists are only in Syria because that's the country they're trying to separate from. If that kind of "knowledge" is what you have to offer this conversation, move on. It isn't contributing anything.Not put boots on the ground and not even arm these separatists or other countries to fight against them.

Yes, they did. Right after the U.S. abandoned them and refused -- through Obama -- to commit to a status of forces agreement that would have left advisors there, and supplied weapons and ammunition. So now what do we have? The exact same situation we could have had three years ago with a status of forces agreement! Which would have stopped ISIS in its tracks before it ever got started! Interesting that your "knowledge" didn't bring that to your attention.We already tried that in Iraq, and those idiots turned tell and ran leaving the weapons in the hands of ISIS.
Male bovine excretory material. Obama hasn't asked for other countries to commit combat troops. His Joint Chiefs have urged him to provide support, financial and hardware, to such an effort, but the very first and only time he committed to it was this week, when he promised Abdullah II a 40% increase in military aid. So sell that manure somewhere else. More liberal lies.The other countries that live over there that have the military might have refused to put boots on the ground to, which is what the U.S. and the president has asked for.
Wrong. Clinton waged this kind of war in Kosovo. All he did was supply U.S. air power and intel. With the commitment of European troops and the local anti-serbian forces, both official and unofficial, we defeated Milošević and put an end to Serbian atrocities. They weren't nearly the scale of those of ISIS, but with Jordan now willing to go wholeheartedly after ISIS, our air power and intel, ISIS can be eradicated. But our president won't commit.And I know we are not leading as many air strikes as the gulf war, but that is the difference that that was a war and we had troops on the ground.

Doing nothing is not "leading." It is cowering on the other side of the ocean hoping the situation will just go away. How long is he going to wait? Until ISIS beheads a couple dozen people in Times Square? You're as clueless as the idiot in the White House. You both need to just step out of the way and let the big boys take care of business.In this situation we are just leading ...
