France, Russia pummel ISIS stronghold as critics blast US rules of engagement: France, Russia pummel ISIS stronghold as critics blast US rules of engagement | Fox News

Apparently the socialist President of France, Francois Hollande, has more intestinal fortitude than the socialist President of the united States, Barack Obama because Obama, with all his bellicose insults and lectures aimed at those who dare challenge his sanctimonious highness, has already killed innocent Americans at home and abroad with his arrogance and stupidity. Our Commander in Chief is more willing to risk the lives of American civilians than he is those of foreigners who help and support the enemy by placing their lives in harms way.

I never expected US policy would swing so far left to an anti-American policy in my life time and I never thought I'd see the day that France would join Russia in military missions because the US is too big a ***** to take care of business.

One of Obama's "silver bullet" talking points being analyzed by yet another former military officer:
"If you are not willing to do everything it takes to win, you will lose, especially if you are facing an enemy who will do anything to win," he said. "His argument yesterday was since we can't do everything, we shouldn't do anything. That's faulty logic."
I think that pretty much sums up Obama's Plan. Personally, I think he'd raise the surrender flag immediately if Russia and/or China were to invade.

He's tough with only one enemy: Conservatives

From your article....

"While France and Russia tout their aggressive air campaign, the U.S. has carried out 95 percent of the airstrikes in Syria since the coalition air campaign against Islamic State militants began in August 2014."


Nice of France and Russia to get off their dead asses and lend a hand.

Nice of the USA to spend billions of dollars bombing meaningless targets while pretending we have a winning strategy too isn't it? Did you even read the article?

BTW: Since when has Russia been a "dead ass" problem? Not to familiar with recent world events?

The US and France have no authorization to be in Syria, Russia was invited by the Syrian government.

That's some pretty insane logic there. If Obama doesn't have us invade more countries like Bush, getting more soldiers killed and spending trillions more of the money we don't have, he's anti-American and is putting the troops in harms way.

Don't for one second pretend that war-hawks like yourself have our troops best interest at heart. As an Afghanistan veteran I'm glad we're leading other people bleed for other people's problems instead of inserting ourselves into yet another quagmire. Bush sent over 6,000 over our soldiers to death for a war that had no clear objectives and wasn't winnable in the first place.
 
Did you even read the article?

Sure did.
It was the usual FOX News anti-Obama spin.
Also from your article.....
---------
"After receiving intelligence from the U.S., the French military said it independently hit command and recruitment centers, an ammunition storage base and one of the terror network's training camps in Raqqa -- and it released video of the moment French fighter jets took off from bases in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates."
--------
So the US and France ARE working together.
Did YOU even read your own article?

BTW: Since when has Russia been a "dead ass" problem? Not to familiar with recent world events?

Russia has been dead ass in regard to ISIS.
They're moving now to prop up their dictator in Syria....his name is Assad...you should know this.
Maybe you should stop gazing longingly at your shirtless Putin poster and pay more attention to world events.

Comes originally from pommel -- the counterweight at the butt end of a sword.

I think you're drooling when you think of bad bad Amerikkka.
 
What I am wondering is when will Arabian countries fly and do as much damage with their war planes?

Obama seems to be about as bad as we have had. But that is what you get, when you elect a President without foreign policy experience. Putin is a brilliant player, of course. But this is really embarrassing.

Admit it - the only thing that'd make you happy would be if the USofA dropped large amounts of nuclear weapons on the entire middle east and turned every country over there into uninhabitable wastelands for the next 10,000 years. Anything short of that is just "*****-footin" around.

Yup its funny that the ones who are most for war in this forum have never served...

Very reasonable question, without a reasonable answer from the usual suspects. Like Saudi Arabia. Who claims to have over 230K "Front line Personnel," over 1200 tanks, and some 236 Strike Aircraft.

Sad truth right their my friend.

Actually our vets split pretty evenly, and if anything, from what I've seen, maybe lean (slightly) hawk. :shrug:

The vets in this forum that I know of always take a reasoned approach to the subject. I was referring to the ones baying for blood with every response.

Here's a fun question: These 50 (or more) guys we are sending to Syria - what is their mission? How about CJTF-I? What is their mission?

Because as near as I can tell, the mission of the CJTF-I is to make sure ISIL doesn't move into Baghdad at least until the next POTUS is in charge so that current POTUS doesn't have to deal with it, and the dudes going to Syria are going there mostly to be symbolic, so that people will stop bothering POTUS to do something.



Obama and Bush both sent troops into harms way. Bush surged in Iraq. Obama surged in Afghanistan. At least Bush wanted to ****ing win, instead of sending us out to get shot at just to get the press off his back, while reducing our ability to protect ourselves and accomplish our assigned tasks.

I know like how Obama declared Mission Accomplished against ISIS long before it was defeated and created the greatest photo-op stunt in U.S. history while doing so. :roll:

You know in all fairness, we need to step it up. We have averaged 15 airstrikes a day or so against ISIS. In comparison we were averaging several hundred a day in Kosovo. We are kind of mailing it in with ISIS.

Bush could have lied just prior to reelection like Obama declaring ISIS a JV team and Al Qaeda is on the run. I'm sure he didn't say those things just to get reelected.

How about his comments ISIS had been contained the day before the Paris attack?

And this the day of the attack, "It is not yet clear who exactly perpetrated the Paris attack." I guess everyone else knew who was responsible except the current US administration.

One thing has become clear, when Obama declares victory, duck and cover.

It's not that the US is too big a *****, no.

It's that the US is aligned with Israel, and ISIS is a creature of US and Israeli spooks. ISIS is effectively OUR guys.

You won't hear that on mainstream media, but that's because mainstream media is more into brainwashing than into truth telling.
 
Every bombing mission costs the US how much money?
Each bombing mission actually kills how many people that are the intended target?
Each bombing mission kills how many people that are NOT the intended target? As in "innocent civilians"?
(of course I know that some people insist any person from "that area" can never be an "innocent civilian")
For each person killed by an American bomb, how many "new terrorists" are created?
