US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria[W:354]

Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

A patriot is a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors. By that definition this administration hasn't lived up to it. You don't leave your borders open for people that want to do you harm to get in and still claim to be a patriot. You don't let those among us willing to engage in traitorous fighting and then return to this country where they pose a threat to the citizens and live up to what a patriot is defined to be.

Has anyone told you all your posts are a steaming pants load of partisan **** tonight?
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Military planners say they are effective. Who you gonna listen to a right wing rag or the military?
That's baloney. From Dempsy to others, including previous appointed members of Defense of the Obama administration. What rags are you reading?

I'm not surprised that you would, after all only a partisan would think so.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Yes, that attack occurred just months after President Bush took residency at the White House, delayed because of the shenanigans of Al Gore and his administration was still relying on the "intelligence team" of the Clinton administration. The same intelligence team that had been in place for eight forking years. Guess they missed a few things.

Deep down, the dems know this. Even so, everything Obama has done is magically Bush's fault. This does not extend to Clinton about 9/11 though. :doh
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Well blow me down. I'm impressed. Most righties are taking this as an opportunity to once again diss the president and **** the pilots to score political points.

Edit: I spoke too soon. You did just thst in later posts.

So what happened during Bush is the fault of Clinton/Gore.
But what happens during Obama is on Obama--sounds just like a PalinBot .
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Bush missed EVERYTHING. Every warning, every clue was ordered by Bush to be disregarded as a hoax perped by Saddam Hussein. That's why I won't trust a Republican as President. EVER
Oh really even when he was getting his intelligence briefings from the same people that were part of the Clinton Administration? ........whatever
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

When a terrorist group tells our nation that they are coming to attack us (as they are currently executing others) - thats our battle. You can moan about why its happening, but here it is.

The war on terror never ended.

Let 'em come. I'm not worried.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

When you support something/someone you condone what they do. I don't know how any logical thinking person using the definition of patriot could condone what this administration has done.

And your posts are logical? Seriously?
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

No. If its trivial why can't Obama use the word?

Because that is what ISIS wants. They want America to declare war on Islam. It appears their goals are in line with yours. How interesting.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

The military says WE NEED BOOTS ON THE GROUND. So you tell me, are we listening to them or not?

What do you call 1,700 sets of boots?
Just cuz the Prez won't use inflammatory RepubLie speak like "bring it on".

ISIL calls out Your Prez as backing Israel and cries "crusades".
Yet GOPs are playing right into their hands with warhawk talk .
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Maybe he should have said "Bush-trained Iraqis" left armored vehiles around .
2/10. I liked your "bush left armored vehicles around" excuse better.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

We're bombing someone without their consent? Are we savages??

I've always believed one should get one's consent before killing them. But hey maybe that's just me? :)
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

O
America didn't want out to lose a war, and then come back in to have to fight it again. Obama gambled he'd be out before Iraq blew up again-or at least past the 2012 election. He lost, and so did the US.

Now, to make it worse we have to go back in-so while I hear lefties in this thread saying we are back in because of politics (public opinion) they also say we left because Americans demanded it. Please-the facts dont support that.

Stop making excuses for failure, we can see right thought it.

We never lost the War. The Iraqi leadership dropped the ball AFTER we left. Do tou actually believe the stuff you make up?
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Again, not true. We knew about ISIS well over a year ago in Iraq. Our media was finally drug kicking and screaming about it when they captured Mosul in January. 9 months ago-and the President knew BEFORE that how bad things were. He knew about them last year when he was sabre rattling against Assad and now he's eating his hat.

I'll aise you my not totally true to your not true anytime pal. You're so partisan you can't even think straight.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Some of our attack aircraft flew over 4K miles to attack in stealth conditions. Think of all the support that has to go into that-and they appear to have pulled it off.

I don't have to think about it. I did it for 6 years. How about you?
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

Oh really even when he was getting his intelligence briefings from the same people that were part of the Clinton Administration? ........whatever

Bush told his security advisors that he did not even want to hear Bin Ladens name mentioned and they should concentrate on Iraq in the first week of his term. Later in the summer when the warnings came he refused to heed them because he believed "it is a hoax by Saddam to keep us off his trail". Could anybody be more of a moron? Bush was fixated on Saddam and missed 911 because of it....... and that is being generous.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

No, what happened on Bush's watch was due to a breakdown of not allowing the FBI to share intelligence with the CIA and visa versa. And unfortunately the law that made it impossible to share intelligence was the result of a Democrat. Bad law was the main cause of the breakdown of intelligence. It was also bad law that allows our visa program to be so corrupt allowing people into this country from places that are a major threat and then not following up on them allowing them to get lost in the system. Which is exactly the way the hijackers of the airplanes that killed 3,000 innocent lives managed to fulfill their plan. And if we face another attack from within, under Obama's watch or in the very near future, it will be because we didn't enforce our laws pertaining to our borders, nor did we reform the visa program or stop the radicals from returning to this country after joining ISIS.

You and I both know that those "sets of boots" are not going to participating in offensive ground operations, at least not as full units pushing and securing land as we're use to.

And I'm confused, when you're talking about "Your Prez" and "Warhawk talk", you know that's describing Obama at this point to a T right? Even before this, you how many predator drone strikes this guys has condoned?
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

These are very rough men who have probably seen a lot of horror over the last several years, but I hope they are scared. Truth be told-it does not matter how they feel about it as long as they are sent to their virgins.

Everbody gets at least a little scared in battle. I don't give a sheet how tough someone thinks they are. From my experience the biggest mouths are usually cowards.
 
Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria

CNN is reporting that there are several Arab countries, including Jordan (who's government officials are confirming as much right now) were involved in airstrikes.

Obama lost the war when he retreated from Iraq, despite the advice of the military and the previous administration. He called Iraq 'stable' and fled.

Now it is his responsibility and, although we know it wasn't deliberate and his ignorance and inexperience was to blame, all those lives lost and those which will be lost, are on his shoulders.
