The focus has never been on destroying ISIS. Obama is just trying to make it look like he is doing something as a way to blunt criticism. I can recall many news reports where it was reported that the US dropped 1 or 2 bombs. What kind of air war is that?
The 1st Gulf War had an air war. We dropped more bombs on Iraq in 6 weeks than we drop on Germany in all of World War 2. In the end, we still needed group forces to mop up, because you can’t capture territory from the air.
I think that Africa and the Middle East were better off as colonies.
Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.Communist Goal #43. Whatever African countries are not ruled by Islam these days are ruled by communists.
