This would be a long term set-up to eradicate. Unfortunately we have a CIC that can’t handle Cuba.

Yes, Rescue ops needs to be in place because taking out Surface to Air deployments takes quite a risk.
Forward Air Controllers can coordinate this action and begin with fast movers.

We could drop Kerry and Taylor into an ISIS stronghold, and after a hug and a few strums, the terrorists would be the ones begging for rescue!

These things are starting to look more and more like skynets “Hunter-killers” every day.

Obama is salivating over the potential slaughter of U.S. close air support aircrews or Combat SAR aircrews by ISIS fighters. He really, really does want to kill American warriors. He is a Muslim Jihadi-lover (along with Valerie Jarrett and John F’ing Kerry).

“It bothers me that a news story leads to a change for pilot rescue, it seems like they should have already been where they would be most effective.”
Here is the rub: put planes in northern Iraq now you need ground crews. You put ground crews in Northern Iraq now you need housing, food, water, etc. You put all the support required for ground crews, ground crews don't shoot bad guys, now you have to provide security. You provide security it can't be half ass. Pretty soon you got a whole new airbase complete with all logistics required to support and supply several thousand “boots on the ground.”

I understand, but the mission hasn’t changed, so why were they in the wrong place before this incident happened.
My point is that they have had to correct a previous mistake evidently.

I think the point is there is no mission. There is talk on tv. There is talk on radio. There is talk in halls of congress. There is talk even in white house on occasion.
But there is no defined mission....
