And this will solve what for us? I thought Mattis was the kick-ass commander. isis on the run, and all that shi’ite.
Though leave the Kurds hung out to dry.
“Around and around we go. Where we stop, nobody knows.”
Abandoning the field before the fight is done, has become a theme of this country.
ISIS’ ass has been thoroughly kicked. However, taking a side in a country’s never-ending civil war is something that has been a theme for this country in the past. That theme ends with President Trump.
Agreed. We need a full on War effort, including a Draft and dedicated War Tax to pay for it until the War is won.
Trump needs to finish off ISIS and then arm and fund the Kurds and let the regional goons know we can hit you at will from the air and if need be troops can be sent in again to kill your terrorist we don’t have to have a permanent presence. If you wait until perfect conditions you will be there forever, just like in Afghanistan. There has been no coherent strategy there ever from Bush, Obumbler or Trump, just more of the same nation building crap.
Leave a couple of bases in country and from time to time if terror activity picks up or seems to be forming, kill them. Tell the Afghans, you are on your own if you want a country but continuing to sink blood and treasure into a country that hasn’t changed any since 2001 is crazy.
