Well, he could have removed Assad to make room for ISIS but he didn’t, so he has not been escalating this all along. And he has constrained our so-called air attacks against ISIS to just a trickle of inconsequential attacks for PR purposes. Many aircraft return from missions with all their bombs still loaded; this is a well known fact.
Obama will retreat and back off, just like he did in the Ukrainian situation. He relishes the opportunity to diminish the United States in the eyes of the world whenever he can.
I have seen this comment several times.
Not being a military expert...it would seem to me that the most dangerous part of a mission is landing a fully bombed up plane.
Is this a plan by Obamski to add additional stress / accidents to the flyers....?
And I hope you are right. This is a stupid fight with only losers.
Look at the bomb reports.

Excavator destroyed
Bulldozer destroyed
sniper position
motorcycle... a motorcycle?
machine gun

Crude oil collection point? I’m doubtful it was very significant. Probably a gas can.
The A-10 boys are supposedly out hunting targets and airplanes are being shot at and hit sometimes.
Stupid.
