I think we can safely assume that such a plan is already in advanced stages.

We don’t need to get involved in a 1000 year old religious civil war.

I read somewhere today that ISIS has begun to use their own homemade drones.

[Future Snake Eater]

This should be interesting, but I can’t imagine we get much harsher on them without putting our own troops on the ground. Sure, we could amp up air power, but that only has so much impact.

Then there’s this looming “refugee camp” mission that was floated yesterday....< shudder >

Before: Planes sent out, come back

Innovative now: Planes sent out, drop bombs on target, come back

VERY innovative..!

When I read the word “artillery” my heart flutters.

Nothing can deliver more tonnage than artillery and a good supply chain. And it’s likely these savages will come to fear it, like nothing else.

IF, and that’s a big IF, it is necessary to put US Troops in Syria I hope it is to do that good work and GET THE HELL OUT THE VERY NEXT DAY!

Putin did a pretty good job. Can we get him as a special advisor?

This means that Donald Trump will start “profiling”!

Trump wants to empower local police to enforce immigration law, raising fears of racial profiling

full 180 given obama and hillary armed them...

I don’t support this. We don’t need boots on the ground in Syria.

[max americana]

You mean KILL THEM.

[Gamecock]

drafting a presidential directive that calls on Defense Secretary James N. Mattis to devise plans to more aggressively strike the Islamic State,

[Innovative]

Excellent!

"Mr. Trump repeatedly said that he had a secret plan to defeat the Islamic State, but he also said that he would give his commanders a month to come up with new options."

President Trump's secret plan may not even involve the military. This (just like all the other activity) will be very interesting to see.

Trump may consider using our influence in Iraq to help the Kurds gain independence for the area that they have already cleared and control in return for leading the ground assault.

We have the capacity to provide them with incredible real time intelligence and arm them to the max.

ISIS cannot stand against the best fighters in the Middle East if they are “loaded for bear”

I receive daily updates from DoD and yesterday seemed to be a substantial uptick in strikes.

Chuck Norris wears Donald Trump pajamas.

Just kill ‘em All, let Allah sort ‘em out.

[PIF]

Nothing changes except around the edges until the ROEs are eliminated. Right now, US troops cannot open fire until fired upon, provided legal agrees.

I am dreaming of B-52’s making the rubble dance.
