The Paris terrorist attacks seem likely to compel President Barack Obama to consider military escalation against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. But that probably will not mean dramatic moves like launching a U.S. or international ground offensive or accelerating aerial bombing in hopes of eliminating the global threat of violent extremism.
"You aren't going to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age," Anthony Cordesman, a longtime Middle East analyst, said Saturday. [...]

Ack, gack. Barf!
“You aren’t going to bomb ISIS back to the Stone Age,” .. no shit Sherlock, they liver there now. We need to totally annihilate them and the rest of the middle east.
Like what?
Airdropping more weapons to ISIS?
Bwaaaa ha ha ha haaaaa! I love that wacky Ape Pee sense of humor.
He might DOUBLE the US presence. To 100 special forces. Will that ever show ‘em!
Yeah. On Americans.
You Tea Partiers have been warned.
Perhaps Obama will do a Meals on Wheels program like Clinton did with the Army in Haiti.
I don’t know what AP is smoking; but, its got to be some premium stuff!
If Obama hasn’t changed his position on Islamic Terrorists by now what makes AP think he ever will, particularly since he isn’t facing a re-election.
bammy will use the military alright, against us. He is letting terrorists in by the thousands. After a couple of attacks he’ll deploy the military, “for our safety.” Marshall law, curfews, and a few faked threats against polling places or national conventions will give him everything he wants.
What happened to Ukraine sucks. But let’s focus on the big picture, Guys. We gotta take on ISIS even if it means siding with thugs like Assad and Putin.
“More stand down actions, like at our borders?”
More likely an urgent resupply to ISIS by ‘accident’.
Exactly. What good does it do to fight them there when the enemy is right here in our country? Paris wasn’t bombed by the non-existent ISIS air force; it was attacked by Muslims that they let into their country. It is insane to send troops to the Middle East while we have Muslims here. That is the real threat to Americans.
What, to protect ISIS from French retaliation?
/we all know whose side Obama is on...
The JVPOTUS is going to play an extra 18 holes.
President Ovomit will send an additional drone to the region...
crappola.
This mooselimb fag president won’t do squat against the mooselimb horde.
........or play another round of golf.
