“Why do we always tell the enemy what we are going to do in advance???”
To make absolutely sure they don’t get hurt because our leader doesn’t want to kill them?
To: Hattie
It should have been reported in the past tense.
American war planes struck targets yesterday, etc.

Didn't Obozo say he had to withdraw all of our troops from Iraq because Iraq is a 'sovereign nation" and we cannot dictate to them?
BUT, we can do bombing runs in the "sovereign nations" of Libya, Iraq, and now Syria.
Are there any Libtards out there that can see his hypocrisy? Anyone? Bueller, Bueller....?

We have to stop pin-pricking these pigs. We need to target not just the chiefs; we need to target ALL members of ISIS. Being a member of ISIS should be enough to convict and to execute every member we, or any other nation, can get their hands on. And, they should be smeared in bacon fat and the execution should be carried out my either a woman or by ravenous dogs or feral pigs.

I think that the best thing we can do is keep missing just a little bit, over, over, and over again. A lot.

Of course our community organizer president has no idea about military tactics.
This is what you get when you don't let the adults run things.

If they could chase down and take out a turncoat American citizen on the deserts of Yemen with a drone and a Hellfire missile, this should be a piece of cake.
On September 30, 2011, Anwar al-Awlaki, a US citizen by virtue of his birth in New Mexico in 1971, was killed by an American drone in Yemen along with another US citizen, Samir Khan, who grew up in New York City and Charlotte, North Carolina.
Of course, for theses two, American “citizenship” was just a flag of convenience, acquired through accident of birth.

Why do we always tell the enemy what we are going to do in advance???Actually we don't. Several critical details are missing - time, place, method of attack, number of units, type of units and so on. Saying we will attack their leaders is about as useful as MacArthur saying "I shall return". They know it's gonna happen, with or without a statement beforehand. Bin Laden knew Americans were gonna try to get him. What he did not know was whether they had located him. Bottom line - Obama's merely issuing a statement to gauge the reaction from his political supporters.

The US should bomb the ISIS, decimate them and really arm the Kurds, Iraqi army and the democratic Syrian rebels. Obama has no guts. If Bush were in the WH, the ISIS would be really tackled now.
