While Obama desperately tries to stick to his now crushed "Nobel peace prize winner" image, by not succumbing to an all-out land war in the one nation where his progressive "pacifism" brought him fame (and according to some, the presidency), namely Iraq, the rest of militant, "interventionist" US foreign policy is rapidly starting to resemble that waged by the most brutally rabid, neo-con Republican leader. Case in point an absolute stunner reported minutes ago by the WSJ, according to which the White House has decided to provide pickup trucks equipped with mounted machine guns and radios for calling in U.S. airstrikes to some moderate Syrian rebels aided by American B-1B bombers!

Feels good to be a B-1B crewman these days, eh?
You would think people in the top brass would be resigning in numbers over this
GEEZE. I hope they start organizing a coup before they jump ship.
The hardest part of Team Obama’s job is trying to come up with the PHONY REASONS they give us for what they say or do. If they all told us the TRUTH they’d all be HATED by just about everyone.
How many B-1’s are going to be led into an ambush and get shot down????
It's as simple as that.
Admitting the truth is impossible for the fifth column, since Obama is their god. Nothing he does will shake their faith.
So, we are in love with the thought of spending billions to create long lines of really big holes in the ground, but we’re killing the surgically accurate A-10.
Our decision makers need caretakers to escort them to the restroom and back, and help them with their belt buckles while there.
“Wonder how Putin will respond?”
Good thread from last night:

We Need To Destroy ISIS, And We Need To Destroy It Now
If the U.S. is going to wage war against ISIS, it should be effective. That means more air power to prevent our Middle East concerns from totally imploding

but this is the opinion at the WH:
Privately, some U.S. officials told The Daily Beast they worry that Egypt’s decision Monday to hit Libya—and its vows to do more—could do more harm than good. And yet they concede there is little they can do about it.

This is crazy, what are they doing at the WH? Supporting the Islamist Erdogan?
Very, very good idea and long overdue. This will prove devastating to many deserving targets in Syria.
Sending B1 bombers to help Jihadists in Syria. How is that not outright treason?
Well, that will keep Iran busy. Meanwhile, Russia will huff, puff and do nothing.
Bingo.
Bringing jihad to the whole new level.
Not into ‘Nation Building’, but they sure intend to tear Syria down and leave it in disaster like they did Libya, Egypt...
B -1’s used to bomb a truck is not cost effective. However, that is how the Obummer administration and chowder crowd thinks.
Time to court martial JCS head Gen. Dempsey, and the rest of his puppets.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
