The military advisors must have cooked up this attack plan.

We’ll see how it plays out.

Why the unilateral action?
Where are our allies?
Why the rush to war?
Why not give sanctions a chance?

I saw a couple reports here on FR (maybe a week or two ago; sorry, I can’t source a link at this time) that the dam was actually still getting some needed maintenance conducted in lieu of ISIS taking control (continuing maintenance, not ISIS initiated maint).
I wonder if ISIS thinks it will lose control if they don’t blow that damn thing. It is a win/win for them based on their current behavior and I am quite certain they wouldn’t see a loss in creating more chaos.

But no "Boots on the ground!"

This looks familiar, no?

IMHO, we will have "Boots on the ground" in the ME for the rest of our lives and far beyond. The commie apparatchiks now in control just can't afford to admit it.

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

A-10 attention to their columns would clear this infection up in short order.

It’s Libya all over again! How far into the air offensive did we go before we finally had to stop claiming we were just preventing a massacre of civilians? Several weeks I believe.

Wait just a damn minute here. I distinctly remember being told that there is not a military solution to the problem. Say it ain’t so, the Messiah has told a lie!

ISIS bad guys should/could have explosive charges ready to go at the base of that big dam.

So why wouldn’t ISIS sabotage the dam if they thought they were about to lose control of it? Thus, Bath House would be an accomplice to the death and destruction which would follow takedown of the dam. Fitting.

Uh, maybe this will cause the ragheads to blow the dam?

The pattern so far is that we come in a day late and a dollar short.

Good move. That dam has to be taken before we can clean out ISIS from Iraq. They would have blown it as they went down in defeat.

What will be the “world opinion” when a US bomb accidentally blows the dam?

I’d wager ISIS already has the damn rigged with explosives. Like Saddam did his oil wells.

It will take more than "strategic" airstrikes in the war against Islamists.
