Not rescuing them from drowning in the blood of their victims they have killed is not a good strategy.

Ash Carter is dumber then a box of rocks. Obama has appointed the most incompetent and ill trained types to lead every department. With Iran having troops in Iraq Obama is a failure.

********
Conservative media has been treating this minor battle, pitting police against seasoned ISIS fighters, as if it was the equivalent of Napoleon losing at Waterloo. No need to quit and run yet.

Loyalty to liberal orthodoxy is the only qualification necessary.

Also, we are increasing the chocolate ration again, even though we are still at war with EastAsia. Tractor production has exceeded quotas for the fifth straight year. Praise be to Big Brother.

Also, we are increasing the chocolate ration again"...and in the interests of Hygiene (for the children)...all chocolate bars will be double wrapped in waxed cardboard and aluminum foil

....and to further enhance efficiency and productivity of the State Chocolate Factory....weighing will occur at the end of the production run...including all wrappers and safety labels.

Who cares which faction of ISLAM is winning at any particular moment in any particular location?

This is beyond absurd.

Obama’s use of the AF to bomb ISIS troops movements is not very effective as you need a man or men on the ground to direct the CAS to be effective. I gave 8 digit coordinates once to a set of F100’s and later to a set of F4’s. Both had to be adjusted as bombs don’t do much in a swamp or on very soft ground. Regardless of the terrain one needs to adjust TAC AIR as the enemy is not stationary during an assault.
