Let’s see: ISIS is attacking Bashir Assad in Syria; we’re attacking ISIS in Syria; but we also oppose Bashir Assadand want the removal of his regime. - I like European wars better, where there are only two sides. Remember Bush’s “You’re either for us or you’re for the terrorists”? ISIS are certainly terrorists. I wonder if Bush would say that Bashir Assad is for us, or for the terrorists?
All I hear is Obama bashing. Not a single useful idea of how to solve the ever present problem of fanatic militants. I think everyone just likes talking to themselves.
Michael wme: Oof! Rub it in, why dontcha? But be sure to vote for the Democratic warmongers, because they’re SO different from the Republican warmongers.Actually, they are, in some ways. The Rs expand war aggressively and viciously. The Ds maintain a steady and sober campaign. Of more war.
“….. despite the fall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of the threat of a global communist takeover. ".I’m still waiting for Bush 41’s “Peace Dividend”!
Oh, and just how do you go about doing that without killing a whole more non-terrorists than terrorists? Or do you just not give a damn about that? After all, if a 100,000 terrorists are harbored amongst 10,000,000 non-terrorists, perhaps you would prefer to just kill all ten million? Better a hundred guiltless die than one guilty survive? This comment, in fact, suggests a complete ignorance of military history.
“When you don’t go all out to kill these scumbag terrorists, you get a long term event.”-Just for a point of reference, was the invasion of Iraq a short term event? Medium? Or long term?-And did we go ‘all out’?
Remember how tired we all were of permanent overseas wars with endless callups of troops?President Obama has been trying to keep us from going through all that again.And now he is getting slammed for it being called not enough of a leader.As with all republicans, people are caught up by lies and innuendos. He is and always has been Damned if he does, and Damned if he doesn’t.it is just too harsh.

I’ve always hated the silly term “war on terror”, because it means a war on a tactic. How many times have we fought a “war on a pincer movement” ?
