Obama admits he has no strategy on ISIS

Assad has iron-fist rule in Syria for a reason. The U.S. needs to ally with him to take on ISIS.

This is as good a place to start as any.

It's not going to happen. Obama would have to step up and admit that his policy re. Syria was fucked up from the start and he isn't going to do that. (Anymore than he took credit for the fuck ups in Egypt, Iraq, and Libya.)

The military sent drones over Syrian territory and Assad warned the white house that any attacks on Syrian territory WITHOUT the coordination with Syrian forces would be considered an act of war. Essentially Assad has boxed Obama into either admitting the legitimacy of Assad's government or staying out of Syria altogether.

Meanwhile Assad has problems of his own. He's already fighting what amounts to a two front war. He's fighting the 'moderate' revolutionaries (the ones Obama backed) on one front and ISIL (the other ones Obama backed, albeit not truly knowing he was doing so) on the other. He doesn't have the strength of force to seriously concentrate on both and he dare not concentrate on one for fear the other will make gains.

Do to the nature of ISIL any military action will have to be coordinated with third parties in would be an anvil and hammer strategy. Meaning that Syria, the Kurds, and/or the Turks will have to be prepared to act as the anvil for any mobile force (Iraq?) that moves against ISIL. Air power isn't going to do diddly as far as ISIL is concerned, and Obama and his advisers are well aware of that fact. Because of the force structure and tactics of ISIL air power would only have maximum effect in a ground support role.

All of this is as a direct result of Obama's foreign policy and about the only thing that can be said on the positive side is we can all thank our lucky stars that the Egyptian military purged what was growing there and Obama had nothing to do with that, as a matter of fact he actually acted a little put out about it.

I've seen you post stuff that would get you punched in the mouth in real life. So be careful with the hypocrisy.

You'd be like kicking the shit out of an empty flour bag. Your old lady beats you plenty, so there's no need for me to add to that. You're a pathetic old fart. The only thing you got going is that you haven't been a huge pussy like forest and vette and put me on ignore. Other than that, you are a complete waste of air.

You're a riot. A fool, but a riot. You have no idea about who I am. I don't get punched in the mouth, that I can assure you.

My old lady beats me plenty? I'm an old fart. I love it. You're funny, but certainly in line for the ignore list just as soon as I get tired of your bullshit. I have a few of your feeble minded brethren residing in my ignore list that are just not worth 5 seconds of my time. It has value.

You're pretty quick with the insults. Small minded people are like that. But if you just keep on entertaining me and all is well. Now go get your shine box.

Well taken point. Imagine if the MB were still in power in Egypt.
 
ChiefThreeHairs must not be aware that we have Isis personnel in our midst. Course, he is a dem-o-gag.

Better hide under the bed until 2016, brave Marine. Send your granddaughter to the corner store when you run out of #Cheetos

You're not really very bright, are ya? If you had bothered to read my reply, you would have noticed I was talking to MILES, that's why I posted it underneath a quote by him. In your zeal to zing me, you once again made yourself look really stupid.


You're just another loud mouth pussy enjoying his anonymity. I live in Detroit. Stop by.

When you play in the mud with the swine, you're bound to get a little dirty. I think I can brush myself off and and deal with the likes of you. LOL

Cowslinger, shut the fuck up.

I knew you'd get around to talking about whipping my ass in a fight sooner or later.

What are you, like 12 years old?

Idiot.

Really? As much of a massive pussy that I know you to be, you're gonna tell me to shut up and I'm gonna listen? You got a lot of fuckin nerve to say anything to anyone about being childish. If you had minded your own business in the first place, I would have never even spoken to you. But you had your big girl panties on one day, and look what that got ya..

If you'll look back, you precipitated my last remark to you. I rarely post to you directly, but for some reason you insist on posting to me. Why don't you do your pacemaker a favor and shut up yourself...since you skipped where I told you to suck my dick.


:rolleyes::rolleyes:


I'll do and say as I please... that isn't gonna change any time soon. So myob, or put up with it. Your choice.
