"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL [ISIS] terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said. "Given that these operations are ongoing, we are not in a position to provide additional details at this time. The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate."

Airstrikes have started, lets see if anything substantive comes of it. Knowing Obama this was all show.

It was for show, showing he means business.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Obviously, bombing people is the best way to achieve peace in volatile situations. People don't, like, want revenge for that sort of thing or anything like that.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

I see, hence his "no boots on the ground" comments. Because airstrikes win wars. :roll:

And yes, we are at war-with a new enemy-ISIS.
Here is the thing, you cant win a war against terrorists, you can win a war against a country, but not against an idealology.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

So is US Conservative happy or sad that Obama is bombing terrorists? It's hard for conservatives to keep their talking points straight nowadays, they've become so virulently Obamaphobic.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

So why is Obama doing just that?

Prolly some Marxist Islamic conspiracy related to Agenda 21.

Or maybe it's a considered policy that he slowly concluded should be followed in light of unforeseen gains by ISIS in Iraq. '

I think I know which one you think it is.

Its pretty straight forward, if Obama hadn't lost the peace in Iraq for his personal political benefit-we wouldn't be here now.

So while he needs to clean up his mess-that mess is THERE because of our incompetent president.

And we now need to clean it up.

Too complex for you?

It wasn't unforeseen. Iraq AND Obama's generals warned him...and it came true.
This is what happens when we elect weak leaders.

"The peace in Iraq." God, that's funny!. It's like the wisdom in Bush.

Drinking the William Kristol Kool Aid, I see.

Yes, so did Glenn Beck on his white board.

Too much Kool Aid for this one.

You got it wrong, if President Bush didn't upset the balance of power by invading Iraq in 2003, we would not be here today!!!!
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

They are marginalized-ISIS is not. .

It will be soon. No thanks to Bush and Cheney putting the entire region into utter chaos with their failed conservative jingoism.

When Obama came into the Presidency, Iraq was winding down-all we had to do was keep a small presence to keep the peace. Obama has always been anti-war, from his community organizing days to his 2012 campaign.

But he decided to lose Iraq to get votes-and now here we are dropping bombs on another nation. Lets hope our troops stay safe.

What? Of course you can 'win a war' against terrorists. Most wars against terrorists are successful and most terrorist, guerrilla, insurgent groups are defeated. How silly.

He's giving us the "Cheney historical narrative" which he got from some rightwing website and Fox News.

You mean revolutionary fervor comrade. Spreading democracy and toppling entrenched fascist autocracies. Power to the people.
