Marines being surrounded in Iraq?

What should President do about Marines surrounded at Al-Asad Air Base?

After 6 years of getting bitch slapped by reality, you'd think this president would have figured that out.

Indeed. How deep and strong the ideological blinders are. You can see it repeatedly in his actions and decisions: Reality loses out to politics every time. Not a good framework from which to govern, I figure.
 
It did? Why not answer the question if you can?

The question was precipitated by a failed interpretation of what I said. See if you can go back and get that right, then you'll see the irrelevance of your question.
 
You really think they can get "here" in any meaningful way.
And I really don't care what she says, republicans say it and its scoffed at.
Granted, BO is a stupid stupid man and an embarrassment to our nation. But anyone with half a brain will tell you, fight them till there are none or leave it alone.
We are not in a political climate to fight it.

Maybe he's skeard they'll find Canada or Costa Rica.

You didn't use the term "Right Wing"?
 
There is a big gap between ignore and engage.

And there's a big gap between political engagement, and military engagement. But that's ignored by warmongers that think political engagement alone is equal to isolationism or appeasement.
 
Have those Marines stay and fight it out on their own?

so obama is supposed to be Napoleon now leaving is troops in Egypt.

I don't know what is worse

the Obama haters who want the marines to flee so they can blame Obama for the USMC being routed

Or

the person who wants the marines to surrender (and then be burned alive or beheaded) by ISIS because she hates America or our military

i guess what got me is people actually answered the question of pretty much...... "leave them there to die, without reinforcements and supplies"

Said in my first post, evac then destroy the base. Period.

Slight modification. Evac, wait for ISIS to occupy the base, and then drop how ever many Daisy Cutters you need.

And do absolutely nothing about ISIS at all?

I guess you have no problem with the slaughter of innocents then, just so it is not the US that kills any, right?

Actually I have little issue with it. You want something done? Do it. Strap up get on a plane and head over.

I, I am already serving in the military, have been downrange and would go again without hesitation if given the chance.

Fail.

Fail? Like I am supposed to know that? So what anyway. You think the US public wishes to continue flushing money down the drain over there?

Declaring your own rant irrelevant when called on it! :lamo

I made no rant. You certainly have not been keeping up with the conversation either. I have said all along its a waste of money and military use.
You think its a great idea? Go. Just like I told him. He can go, or go back. On his own dime. And take you with him.

OK, so first you say that if I want to go myself I should. Then when I say I would and have, you spin it to the "US public" does not want it.

Myself, I see trying to save lives from the murderous reign of ISIS as a good thing, no matter what the cost.

You see, to me and a great many people lives are more important then money. We do not place $ on protecting others.

And sorry, you do not know I am in the military? Come on now, it is not like that is a freaking secret! I only have a picture of myself in uniform as my avatar, and my nickname is in relation to my military job for 5 years.

Spin, I have been saying since the start that the war in the ME is a waste and we need to drop it. We are doing no good, and what I mean as good is good for the US. Not for people that run and refuse to fight.
Oh, and I have a pic of one my cats in my avatar. You think I am a cat? People can and do say all the time on the internet what they wish others to believe they are. Many times its BS.
I am glad you think the US should go broke defending those lives. Very nice of you.

So to you lives do not matter. 10 million people could die, just so Crue Cab is not inconvenienced in any way.

Yea, I got it.
