While taking this with a pinch, nay a liberal tablespoon of salt - Putin just showed up Obama as a useless pile of ...

Imagine -- Raqqa was available for bombing and the USA did nothing. The Islamic state has nothing to hit back at choppers, leave alone jets.

And the Islamic state sent troops along one road to attack Palmyra -- why were they not bombed?

An American president with the support of an American Congress could’a done it in three days

Lesson in what can happen when you fight to win. We fight to win hearts. They fight to kill enemies.

” 3,000 terrorists leave Syria following Russian airstrikes”

Gee, I wonder where they’re going!

I’m too old for the USAF, and I thought the Mig-25 Foxbat was the coolest airplane ever.

Russia had a lot of hot blond tennis players, but I wonder if Putin would allow a guy with a German last name into his Air Force?

Remember how we used to worry about ISIS overrunning Mosul, Fallujah, etc.? Putin is showing obama how real men do it.

That is because Obama never had any intention of destroying ISIS; he instead chose to manage the problem off the front pages of media coverage only to let it resurface later as a rationale for continuing to equip his preferred terrorists for a continued guerrilla war against Assad’s regime. Meanwhile Putin sends his nation’s forces in and handles ISIS like it should be handled.. crushed like the nest of vermin they are.

At this point, Assad’s regime, with all it’s many warts, is the sole legitimate power in Syria. If Russia’s propping it up gives some needed relief (as it appears to do) for Christian and other religious minorities, then so be it.

Simple..., there might have been some innocent tourists caught in the traffic! It appears that, unless we have near positive ID of the bad guys, we can't shoot. As for the hospital in Afghanistan, the narrative continues to be spun by the administration (perhaps there is another YouTube video maker really responsible???)

The never-ending, and eventually losing quagmire wars are an invention of the Libs. We could have easily won in Vietnam. We almost HAD it won, when the Libs, including the MSM, insisted on us pulling our punches and letting the cong overrun the country. And the charade continued thriugh Desert Storm, raising #%&$ and breaking things, but with assinine ROE that always prevented a clear cut victory.

To the chagrin of at least some of us, Putin is showing us how it used to be done, with NO ROE. Who dreamed up that crap, anyhow? I think it began in Korea, when the UN was allowed to call the shots. That was our first UN Supervised loss.
