Remember, I said on the other thread, GENERALISSIMO OBAMA, about 8 weeks ago, that before the New Year comes around, that Obama will have likely counter-manned himself and stop saying, "I will not send ground troops."
As this article above here said, as many of us said ---- and we are Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats, Republicans, Communists, Atheists, Islamists, Christians, Buddhists, et al ---- you should start a war VERY, VERY RELUCTANTLY; but if you DECIDE that a war is warranted, you MUST NOT TIED ONE HAND BEHIND YOUR BACK and keep turning around, making sure your enemies and everyone see that, indeed, ONE of your hands is STILL tied behind your back, AS YOU ORIGINALLY PROMISED, like Obama did.
That, again, if you, FOR WHATEVER FUCKIN' REASON, must start a war, you have to use OVERWHELMING FORCE... because all WARS are dirty, ugly, deadly, and tragic.
You can NOT and MUST NOT start a war like Obama did, ever!, by promising NOT to send ground troops, relying on pinprick bombings in TWO COUNTRIES, with no more than 2-5 missiles or bombs a day, on average, AND YET PROMISE THAT YOU'D RENDER YOUR ENEMIES, what was the exact phrase Obama used?, "degrade AND DESTROY"?
Only an idiot would conduct war like that.... especially, again, if he's going to personally dictate from the comfort of his office, WHICH TARGET to drop a bomb on and which should be left alone!
++++++++++++
In any event, I will post a further articulation of what I THINK IS THE BEST TACTIC to fight against ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
I mentioned it when I first posted the other thread, pseudo derisively against Obama, as Generalissimo Obama... but I have expanded on it a bit, making it a longer, more complete argument... and it deals with USING 5-10,000 incredibly well trained AMERICAN SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES...
But NOT using them to do door-to-door fighting, as was previously done.
My argument would be that you need to put them in crucial highway and free road junctures across Syria and Iraq, where there is NO TOWN OR CITY.... where it is miles and miles of desert in every direction... In those crucial junctures, everywhere across Syria and Iraq, station 100-200 armed to the teeth, special operations forces and give them not tanks but 5 Black Hawks and 5 Apaches.
Anyway, I will argue, in a later posting, WHY and HOW I think that is the best tactic to defeat ISIS and to also reduce American ground troop casualties to MINIMAL, if any at all.
To me, THAT tactic is like using F-22s and F-35s against World War II fighter jets: they COULD still kill you, if they shot at your in CLOSE RANGE; but if you're flying F-22s and F-35s, the CHANCES of you being shot down by 1940s fighter jets, using the bullets and missiles they used, on fighter jets of that era.... that probability of them hurting you before you hurting them... is VERY, VERY SMALL... compared to ALL OTHER OPTIONS.
