I do not believe that Obama has any desire or intention of defeating the Islamic State. He wants them to triumph, either in a way that allows the U.S. to peacefully coexist with them, or if that is not possible, with a complete worldwide victory for Islam.
Hey Sean_Anthony,
How many US troops do want to be deployed? And for how long? What will it cost, and where will the money be obtained - more borrowing, more taxes, or cuts in which programs?
What do you anticipate will be the casualty rate for US troops?
These are real questions, because credible military action requires planning and estimates. What are yours?
