Re: US Airstrikes Under Way in Syria
Outstanding post.
What happened to "in time of war, we stand behind the commander-in-chief"?
Shame on the partisan speech above. Both Bush and Obama committed blunders in Iraq, and both contributed to the mess we have today. No need to single them out, at this point.
What is important now is to decimate the extremists who have beheaded two Americans, countless other foreigners, and their own people, and will undoubtedly become a threat to our national interests and even our homeland (we don't want a terrorist haven there; they will end up committing 9/11-like attacks here).
So, let's stand behind our pilots and sailors who are bombing those f....ers, and put down the partisan divisions, will you?
Now, if we can bomb them sufficiently and several other countries in the region including several Arab states put boots on the ground, we can win this without further risking our troops. If it doesn't work, then I'm sure there will be reassessment and American boots will go in.
For now, let's just support our CiC and our brave pilots, and hope that none of our aircraft is brought down.
Me, I love America and put it *way* above partisan politics. Shame on all Americans who don't think like me.
