No surprise. IS is still raking in $3m a day form the oil field — which the Bungler in Chief has neglected to order bombed.

And?

This is new news?

Lets step into my “way-back” machine and move slightly less than 50 years into the past.

Its now 1968 and we are standing beside one of the many American runways in South Vietnam and Thailand watching the daily/nightly sortie launches to perform air interdiction strikes on a logistic network called the Ho Chi Minh Trail.

We never did close that logistic network through air strikes. Even ground incursions weren’t successful.

And now Emperor Obama I expects to achieve success with less air assets in a shorter period of time? RIGHT. Got some really beautiful water front property with magnificent beaches, at low tide.

Weeks of tactical genius on the part of our president in his own personal military campaign/s

The civilian leadership did not learn a thing from desert shield/storm. You can own the skies and the seas, but if you don’t own the real estate, you ain’t got squat.

The only way to be rid of this cancer, is to put men on the ground with weapons and give NO mercy till they are all dead, let God sort them out.

But that will never happen with the leadership we have, they continue to make excuses and appease our enemies who WANT US ALL DEAD.

So we hear today that Obama is bombing inside of Syria. If this was Bush the lefties would be having a fit about him not having the right to do so i.e. he was not invited to protect the standing government and he has no mandate from the UN to do so. What a bunch of hypocrites they are!

So we spend a couple million bucks to blow up a tent with 1 or two ISIS thugs living inside. That is hardly a good return on investment. If Obama were serious, which I know he isn’t, the heavy bombers would be dropping cheap bombs on everything and everyone in the ISIS territories at a fraction of the cost. We also have a lot of Tritans sitting around collecting dust. Nuke those bastards back to the 600s like they want.

I’ve got a weird feeling there will be no gun camera footage on the news. A couple video sites do show them though.

So.. that retaking on the Mosul Dam and other territory by the Kurds and Iraqis adter we started airstrikes is all one big illusion? It didn’t happen after all?

Obama killed the Tomahawk and Hellfire missile programs.

Do I understand correctly that yesterday's attacks used 47 Tomahawk missiles, and that the 2015 fiscal year budget provided for the production of only 100 Tomahawk missiles (which was increased in July by Congress to 196)?

Do I also understand correctly that the replacement for the Tomahawk will be ready by 2018 at the earliest?

This article says that if we use 100 per year, we'll run out of Tomahawks in 2018. At 47 per day, we'll run out in less than a week.

What am I missing?
