I don't see the sense in announcing an attack UNLESS one wants so start a prolonged war whereby the president and congress (which hasn't really objected to this announcement) wish to enrich the industrial military complex.
The level of stupidity in the government gets more astounding literally, by the day.
You don't give the enemy advanced notice of when you plan to attack!
Oh come on. Give the military you served in some credit. It's a diversion. Same as when Saddam thought we were coming in by sea and never did. These stupid ****ers are going to build up everything they have in Mosul and we attack somewhere else. Then when they stream out of Mosul to come to the aid of the others we bomb the **** out of them.
You rightwing armchair generals kill me!
Yep, that's all MPs do. :roll:
Whats funny is BO's man trying to tell us how ISIS has been degraded.....how they have to make sum zero decisions. They lost ground. That they are fighting on 3 fronts. Just where has this Official been? Where was this one dragged out from? As ISIS opened up another front with Lebanon and Oh they just caused all the Peshmerga to doubledown on protecting their lines to Erbil.
“In the degradation that we have applied to ISIL in total, where we thought we would be today, it’s almost double in seven to eight months what they have lost compared to 14 years in Iraq and Afghanistan for U.S. in total,” he said. “There is no organization in the world that can suffer those kinds of casualties and not have a tremendous impact on their ability to achieve their long-term aims.”
Extremists now face an offensive on three fronts, he said: The U.S.-led air campaign, the Iraqi army, and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
“We know that there’s an Iranian presence in Iraq,” he said. “It’s largely advisers, to the knowledge that I have.” They are not working with the Iraqi army “in a condoned way,” he said.....snip~
U.S. Announces Plan for Massive Counter-ISIS Attack - US News
Democrats / Liberals / Progressives are not only poor leaders, they are especially poor military leaders.
They don't believe in operational security unless it's something bad they themselves did.
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Are there any past mistakes that this Obama administration isn't willing to repeat?
Why don't you people go fight for ISIS if you think our president, country, and military are such failures. God I'm sick of the bickering and armchair generals. If you served under me I'd tell you to shut the hell up and go clean the latrines!
Good grief!
And our president is not "BO." His name is designation is president Obama commander in chief of the United States of America. Have some respect for the office.
Tell ya what, sport. You be damn sure to let us know when that happens. K?
Remember how successful we were at Normandy because we announced our plans? Oh wait............
if this plan exists and is being planned as stated... it's extraordinarily stupid to announce it publicly.
.....it might also be criminal to announce it.
And keep right on playing armchair general. Hey you know more than the pentagon and the arm forces generals! I'm impressed. Not!
The level of stupidity in the government gets more astounding literally, by the day.
You don't give the enemy advanced notice of when you plan to attack!
it would be brilliant if they said what they said and instead attacked at the end of feb,but i dont see that happening.
It's a brilliant idea and makes some real problems for ISIS, including recruitment. 80,000 Iraqis backup up by Western and ME airpower, heavy group equipment and intelligence are going to attack 2,000 ISIS fighters.
What does ISIS do? Flee? Stay and be slaughtered? It isn't easy to recruit people to go to slaughter zone either.
And it known the Iraqi military isn't going to be nice in interrogations to determine who is and isn't ISIS.
As for those claiming we are telling ISIS our tactics? This hasn't been done at all. The only thing announced is that a massive attack to liberate the city of Mosul is coming. This is long overdue.
Oh quit your whining.
All I have to say is to tell the enemy when you are coming or leaving is ****ing (pardon my french) insane....
And keep right on playing armchair general. Hey you know more than the pentagon and the arm forces generals! I'm impressed. Not!
The pentagon is made up of liberals? Really? My God that was one of the dumbest partisan posts I've seen here.
All I have to say is to tell the enemy when you are coming or leaving is ****ing (pardon my french) insane....
If you think the Pentagon (skilled career military leaders who know that operational security and surprise are worth in the field) went and spilled the beans on that, rather than Obama (who doesn't know what the **** he's doing) directing them to spill the beans on that, well, how are your unicorns?
No ****. We might as well help them build their bunkers.
Oh come on. Give the military you served in some credit. It's a diversion. Same as when Saddam thought we were coming in by sea and never did.
