Just kill the snake

[JohnStOnge]

I just watched President Obama's statement on using some air strikes against ISIS. I'm glad he's decided to do something. However, I think the United States should just kill this snake. This is an Islamic group that wants to fight like an army. Just use air power to decimate it. Don't go with the limited or "targeted" strikes stuff. Just order an air campaign to destroy as much of ISIS as can be destroyed from the air.

I don't understand why at this point we wouldn't do that.

You might have a point. I don't think there are a lot of caves where ISIS is operating, we could probably do a lot of damage from the air.

Right now I wish we had a President like George H.W. Bush. Bush the Elder. Of the Presidents of my lifetime that's who I would most like to be President under these circumstances.

And what would George H.W. Bush do?

Ignore JSO, he is trolling for a response. Too lame of an attempt to even give him credit for trying.

[JohnStOnge]

And what would George H.W. Bush do?

My guess is that he would totally incapacitate this ISIS group with air power. He would not talk in terms of limited strikes. He would go full bore. And I think this ISIS group is a group that is vulnerable to being effectively destroyed by that because they are not doing the Hamas type thing. They are not trying to hide. They are openly acting like they think they are an army and engaging in offensives.

US air power could totally obliterate the type of thing ISIS is doing. And I think George H.W. Bush would use it.

My guess is that he would leave Saddam in power. Oh wait, I don't have to guess.

One way or the other, one of the Bush presidents fucked up royally. But let's blame Obama for not getting us into another war.

You're completely and unequivocally wrong about that. I honestly do wish we had somebody like George H.W. Bush as President under these circumstances. Right now we have a wet dishrag.

[Grizalltheway]

Why does a small government libertarian want us to keep flushing money down the toilet known as the Middle East?

Are you seriously suggesting that we shouldn't go ahead and take care of this ISIS thing? Seriously?

Yeah. We need another war. Obama sucks at invasions. Does Iceland have water trucks? Maybe we can get Colin Powell to convince the UN to back us.

Because what ISIS represents is a threat to Western Civilization. If you think we can just ignore it and let it grow and never have to worry about it you are really deluding yourself.

[JohnStOnge]

Yeah. We need another war

Buddy, we have another war. Or more accurately, we're in the same war. Putting our fingers over our eyes won't change that. And we're in it with a spineless wimp as President.

I'm suggesting that we let someone else worry about ISIS. I'm tired of playing World Police. We can't afford it. Why should I care about ISIS? Seriously? They can over run the all of Iraq and Syria for all I care.

[JohnStOnge]

Do you not understand that Islam is not going to stop until it is stopped? Do you REALLY think it can be ignored as though it is "somebody else's problem?'

Good GRIEF.

And we got into plenty of other wars with a spineless wimp of a son of a former President as well.

ISIS is a threat to Western Civilization as we know it? Well maybe Western Civilization should grow a freaking pair and do something about it instead of being little bitches and wanting to let the US handle everything all the time.

"But that would make us look weak to the rest of the world if we aren't the big bully on the block."

No, we are not. We are only in a war if a brainless President puts us there. Obama's problem is that he hasn't gotten us out of Afghanistan fast enough. He should be bringing our troops home, not expanding out conflicts.

If he did expand our conflicts, you would complain about that. Admit it, no matter what Obama does, you will be here to criticize it. Nobody will ever accuse you of being fair.

The right would claim he was overspending and getting us involved in things that "have nothing to do with us", "getting our boys killed for nothing" or "pandering for votes".

Good GRIEF.

Do you really think that bombing ISIS will eradicate Islam? That's quite a leap of stupidity, even for you.

What about the Muslim Brotherhood? From what I've heard , they've infiltrated the Obama administration.

How about the Lybians responsible for Benghazi? Benghazi!

I miss Saddam, Mubarak, and Gaddafi.
