Nobody In his right mind believes for even one second that O wants anything but the very best success for Isis or any other Muslim terror murder gang like hezbellah, Hamas, al Qaida, pa/plo, or his own Muslim brotherhood. A marine sent to “fight” any of them has all our prayers ( especially since his c in c only has his back in a target scope).

Probably Obama is hoping to give them hostages, so he can trade them for the rest of the prisoners in Guantanamo.

Trump keep making the point that we shouldn’t be telling the enemy what we are doing. He’s right. It’s giving the enemy information.putting our best in greater danger.

Wow. That could be right! All the dots do connect that way. Alas

Yes indeed they’re all one big happy Muslim family. ( admitting there are internal squabbles ) the murdered Christians , Jews, Hindus, and other innocent people don’t care which Muslim terror gang killed them. They’re dead regardless if they got that way from pa/plo, Isis, Iran, hezbellah, al quandary, hamas, or any of the other Islamic murder gangs. Dead is dead.

If we were serious, it’d be the entire 26th MEU, and not just a detachment. The whole enchilada: tanks, artillery, harriers, LAVs, and the whole battalion.

Agree, hopefully they are reenforced. I don’t think even a MEU could make much of a difference there. As Yogi Bera said: it’s like déjà vu all over again. All courtesy of our Dear Leader, continuing to spit in our face.

A MEU is by nature, reinforced, and it can most definitely destroy the entire city of Raqqa.
