Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria
I dunno Pol. We won't win from the air - it's degrade and contain, and that requires the same kind of effort the no-fly zone required in Iraq before. The idea that ISIS wouldn't exist in Iraq if Saddam was still in power is baseless. We have no way of knowing that, and never will. Who knows what end Obama has in mind? I don't think he knows.
Greetings, humbolt. :2wave:
Negotiations always involve compromise - otherwise they are not called negotiations, but ultimatums! This "my way or the highway or I walk out" thinking has hurt us in Iraq, Libya (and for a while in Egypt until the people booted the MB out of power), and we are now seeing the results, and paying the price for ISIS and others gaining strength. Now I read that this "non-war" is going to go on for years and perhaps a decade? Why? Weren't we going bankrupt fast enough to suit those who are masterminding this crap? :bs
