The military advisors must have cooked up this attack plan.
We’ll see how it plays out.

Why the unilateral action?
Where are our allies?
Why the rush to war?
Why not give sanctions a chance?

I saw a couple reports here on FR (maybe a week or two ago; sorry, I can’t source a link at this time) that the dam was actually still getting some needed maintenance conducted in lieu of ISIS taking control (continuing maintenance, not ISIS initiated maint).
I wonder if ISIS thinks it will lose control if they don’t blow that damn thing. It is a win/win for them based on their current behavior and I am quite certain they wouldn’t see a loss in creating more chaos.

A DEMOCRAT is in charge...
This is HUMANITARIAN BOMBING, and only racists (and quite possibly, EVIL CHRISTIANS) would dare to ask such politically-incorrect questions under a Democrat President!

But no "Boots on the ground!"
This looks familiar, no?
IMHO, we will have "Boots on the ground" in the ME for the rest of our lives and far beyond. The commie apparatchiks now in control just can't afford to admit it.

A-10 attention to their columns would clear this infection up in short order.

But, aren’t we getting rid of those, to free up more money for the EBT Cards of the Democrat Plantation slave voters?

It’s Libya all over again! How far into the air offensive did we go before we finally had to stop claiming we were just preventing a massacre of civilians? Several weeks I believe.

If they breach it, the first thing that gets wiped out is Mosul. I doubt they’d want to flood their own city.

Wait just a damn minute here. I distinctly remember being told that there is not a military solution to the problem. Say it ain’t so, the Messiah has told a lie!

But thats only 1 country. We can not operate without the support of the French, Germans, and Russians. Besides, its all about oil and blackwater anyway.

ISIS bad guys should/could have explosive charges ready to go at the base of that big dam.

They don’t have a religion, they have a cult.
