Agreed. This is all rationalization to avoid taking the needed actions. In the case of ISIS and AQ, there can be no negotiations, only total defeat and destruction. For those who say that ISIS wants this confrontation, I would say to ISIS be careful what you wish for. We have the military capabilities to wipe the ISIS caliphate off of the map in weeks if we take the gloves off. We would get more respect from the Muslim world who would favor the strong horse.
Great point and it’s not going to happen with zero in office. It will have to wait for a Republican in the White House who will change the Rules of Engagement and who will listen to and allow the military to do what they do best: kill people and break things.
Like it or not. 2016 will see more stalling from our WH and no real action that might irritate Muslims or 0bama’s buddies. All I can say is get used to it. It’s going to be a long year with more ups and downs and more 0bama crap and illegal executive orders.
