I agree it’s a crazy idea. But then there’s this agreement: “This time around, The White House and Pentagon agree on the basic outlines of a strategy to attack the Islamic State — one that centers on arming and training proxy forces, including Syrian rebels, Kurdish fighters and the Iraqi army, backed by U.S. and allied air power.” —http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/rift-widens-between-obama-us-military-over-strategy-to-fight-islamic-state/2014/09/18/ebdb422e-3f5c-11e4-b03f-de718edeb92f_story.html
When Benghazi blew Obama’s gun-running scheme to the Syrian “Moderates,” and Putin checkmated him on bombing Assad he had his “Isil Brothers” go all out with terrorism, chasing thousands of people from their homes, graphic executions and capturing Russian jets. Then 4 days ago threatened to retaliate if Syria shot down any American plane. Now the World would frown if Russia should object when Isil shoots down one US plane and Obama can spend billions taking out Assad’s Air Force with Allied and US Air Power. It worked out so well on Gaddafi, when he had no Air Force he was gone and Assad is gone without an Air Force and the “Isil Brothers” will control the ground war all the way to the Mediterranean Sea! And guess who just voted to help him?
