The military is contradicting Obama. Obama doesn't want to "surge" because he knows that would be an admission that he mistakenly pulled troops from Iraq.

The general implies that ISIS is going to embed among civilians so airstrikes will not work. Obama's strategy of airstrikes alone will end up kill civilians. The irony is that Obama will end up facing the same criticism Israel endured a few weeks ago. The army gets it.

Obama's in a box.

Obama cannot wage war AND appease his anti-war base. Kinda a dangerous situation and he should be impeached if he fails to protect the Unitied States.

Maura Liason, the big NPR Lib on the Fox panel, predicted that slowly ground troops will be ratcheted up to what they would have been had Obama signed a SOFA.

They know.

It ought to be easy for ground troops to root out ISIS because I can’t imagine too many civilians who are willing to hide ISIS fighters.

No no, you must be mistaken. We won’t have boots on the ground. Oblala says so.

Frankly, this seems more like an opportunity to get rid of America’s “Special Forces” - our best and brightest - or at least to “degrade and destroy” as many as possible.

I do not think this is coincidental ..!!!!!!!

This admin (and many other dems) have never had any respect for our military; in fact, I truly believe this admin loathes them - and/or he’s terrified of their power .. and how “the people” admire them.

My other concern is our military will be drawn into Syria .. and Isaiah 17:1 says, “Woe to Damascus. It has been taken away from being a city, it has become a ruinous heap.”

The only thing that would do that is a limited nuke. This was prophesied in 1985 but it seems to be getting closer and closer. Why on God’s green earth would we want to send our military there ..??????????????????????

Question: How much more vulnerable would America be if most of our Special Forces were destroyed ..??????????????????

Need about 40,000 to sweep in one huge air and boots the black robed filthy animals right up to the Syrian border. Meanwhile our air power should be destroying the Syrian border into glass. Should take about a week.

Then set up the Iraq army to go door to door and kill any they find. Harsh, you bet your ars. Take guns away from the population and only allow them to those that will join home guard.

What poor memories these guys have. We’re going to train Iraqi’s so they can shoot us in the back.
