In a guest appearance on Hannity last night Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a Fox News analyst, made an epic rant regarding Obama’s much heralded air campaign against terrorist targets in Syria. He observed the massive bombardment by American military planes and missiles committed one very critical flaw: they occurred at night.
“In the euphoria, the delight of seeing all these cruise missiles taking off and dramatic footage, all the analysts are missing one really big thing: these strikes last night were designed to limit terrorist casualties; these were not serious, manful strikes,” said Peters.
“I’ll give you the evidence. Why did we go in at night? There was no air defense threat. We could’ve done it in broad daylight. If you wanted to kill terrorists you would’ve hit those headquarters, those logistics sites at 10 or 11 in the morning when they were crowded with leaders, staff officers, flunkeys, etc.
“Instead we hit empty buildings at night. We knocked down antennas, we blew out windows. That is not the way to defeat terrorists who behead Americans. We should’ve gone in in the morning, gone in heavy and killed… acres and acres of dead terrorists. That is tactical success,” continued Peters.
Knocking down buildings and taking out conference rooms is hardly going to dent the progress of ISIS. The threat we face isn’t in the concrete below the terrorist’s feet, but the ideology that floats between their ears. And the best way to end the threat is by killing them.
Obama’s campaign has little to do with destroying ISIS and everything to do with making him seem like a tough guy six weeks before the midterm elections. His approval ratings on foreign policy are tanking and nothing says “I’m not a total wimp” like waves of cruise missiles.
Essentially the bombing of Syria was a multimillion dollar ad campaign for Democrats.
By destroying buildings, but leaving the terrorists intact Obama missed a golden opportunity to do lasting damage to our enemies, which is no way to win a war.
Achmed: “Hey Muhammad! Their ordinance broke the vending machine!”
Muhammad: “Damn you Obama!”
Can’t say I’m surprised by this.
yes, Go Daylight on ‘em!
Clinton II.
Our fearless leader doesn’t want to hurt his true friends.
Have no doubt.
This was planned.
The Obamadork is one of them.
And should be treated as such.
First thing I thought when I heard about it was why attack at night unless you want to kill the janitors.
No muslims were harmed in the filming of this bombing.
It does make for sensational video. That’s what it’s all about.
...and FOX reported comrade obamatollah gave Iran a heads-up BEFORE the bombing.
Vietnam saying by American troops.
notice the parking lots of the bombed buildings were EMPTY
And no comment from the lamestream MEdia
Obama is all hat, no cattle
Throwing million dollar tomahawks into empty buildings and protecting his muslim pals
d.oh.
Do you think journalists would 'find' photo's like this in 0's war?
terrorists work 9-5??
I heard a “top-of-the-hour” news blip on the radio yesterday - the gal read that the U.S. had executed successful airstrikes against ISIS... blah, blah, blah...
Something inside me KNEW we would target NOTHING significant. I was hoping our military leaders would’ve/could’ve at least done something constructive with our resources..
This is a disgrace.
Yeah, attack during the day so the enemies awake and sees the cruise missiles fly by and radio’s back to headquarters to take cover. Great idea! /s
