But they hanged Al-Qaeda members. Those are not the same as ISIL/ISIS. It’s a good start, but this thing has to be thought out.
I think that Jordan should announce that defectors and surrendering ISIL/ISIS people will be accepted for a week, but after that, no quarter.
And we should do the same thing. I am sick of the dumb Rear Admiral who speaks for the military now, on behalf of the Obama people. What does a Rear Admiral know about a desert, anyway?
Enough of the “boots on the ground” and the various puerile sports-analogies. This is not a child’s game. It is time to get serious. Do they think sandals on the ground will do better?
I think that it would be fine to have a formal declaration of war. I was amazed and pleased last night to hear Krauthammer make the same suggestion. I would like independent declarations of war against ISIL/ISIS from Japan, Jordan, and others, on their own, with coordination, but no grand (supposedly US-led) “coalitions,” please.
To often we lead, and certain so-called allies pretend support, and then everyone treats the US as a pariah for helping them.
Right now, all our friends are being undercut by Obama. He is secretly trying to destroy the Egyptians, and control the results of the Israeli election. His buddies are actually working with the opposition to Netanyahu. Obama might as well be a terrorist enabler.
It means that we also have work to do at home, short-circuting the creeps in the 0 administration wherever possible.
EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/AmericansThere are no counter examples.
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
