Just kill the snake
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.JohnStOnge wrote:I just watched President Obama's statement on using some air strikes against ISIS.

Re: Just kill the snake
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.

Re: Just kill the snake
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.And what would George H.W. Bush do?
US air power could totally obliterate the type of thing ISIS is doing. And I think George H.W. Bush would use it.

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.

Are you seriously suggesting that we shouldn't go ahead and take care of this ISIS thing? Seriously?My guess is that he would leave Saddam in power. Oh wait, I don't have to guess.

Yeah. We need another war. Obama sucks at invasions. Does Iceland have water trucks?

Re: Just kill the snake
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.Grizalltheway wrote:Why does a small government libertarian want us to keep flushing money down the toilet known as the Middle East?

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.Yeah. We need another war

Re: Just kill the snake
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 wrote:Are you seriously suggesting that we shouldn't go ahead and take care of this ISIS thing?

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?'

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.

Re: Just kill the snake
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.JohnStOnge wrote:Buddy, we have another war. Or more accurately, we're in the same war.

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".BlueHen86 wrote:No, we are not.

What about the Muslim Brotherhood? From what I've heard , they've infiltrated the Obama administration.
How about the Lybians responsible for Benghazi? Benghazi!
