It’s a joke. Just another Obama lie so he can claim he’s doing something knowing the press will cover his lies.

COMBAT PILOTS SHOULD BE TOLD “WEAPONS FREE!” AT TIME OF TAKE OFF.

This isn’t really news. It’s just a reminder that the air strikes on ISIS are being run in the same disastrous fashion as those in Vietnam.

He’s trying to hurt ISIS, but not enough to stop the eventual overthrow of Assad.

Half-a$$ed.

The United States is not at war with ISIS. The use of military force against them has not been authorized by Congress. It is unlikely, were force to be authorized, that the present administration could do so effectively.

And, most importantly, the American people, acting through their representatives, would never authorize a return in force to the area formerly called "Iraq".

Too bad about the inhabitants of North Arabia. Sucks to be them.

The ROE have been AFU since Nam.

They are much worse now.

There is no authority to commit war.

Without weapons, the Air Force is just an expensive flying club. Ditto for the Navy/Marines.

Bkmrk.

[cymbeline]

I wonder if some of these soldiers ask for permission too often.

[expat2]

That’s what you get by putting a Muslim in the WH.

[JimRed]

Clearance to engage? Any one who’s ever served in the military knows it’s much easier to get forgiveness than permission!

If obama’s aim was to help establish the caliphate and offset their power by allowing a nuclear iran, while he oversaw the destruction of the USA’s military and economic dominance in the rest of the world...exactly what would he do differently than what he’s doing now?
