War against Isis: US strategy in tatters as militants march on

The US strategy is simple...bomb ISIS, ISIS uses this to greatly aid recruitment worldwide, America eventually forced to put 'boots on the ground', many Americans die, POTUS eventually states 'mission accomplished, American troops leave, situation ends up worse then when it started.
A strategy is what one devises when one wants to win wars. What you have described is a deception being run against the American people. It is intended to give the appearance of something being done without imperiling his Islamofascist buddies.
 
No way!? Really?

So a new crusade? Great strategy.
The first step to devising a winning strategy is to determine the nature of the war one finds oneself confronting. As we frequently get this step wrong we frequently fail to win our wars. Pay attention. I am trying to teach you something.

No. Your trying to tell me a new crusade is needed.

I had thought you might not be teachable. No problem. I shall not cast my pearls before swine (its scriptural, you probably won't get the reference).

Developing a strategy is far more than simply declaring a war.

First, what is the problem we are trying to solve? In many cases this is the hardest of the questions to answer.
 
We have been told over and over again intervention will solve all our problems. Korea, it didnt solve anything, Vietnam it didnt, Iraq it didnt, know we need to repeat the same strategy over again. When will we learn?
We are not experiencing the boomerange effect.[/QUOT]

Korea, we were winning...
Vietname, we were winning....
Iraq, we were winning...

The only reason we won battles, but lost the war, was because we did not have the resolve to fight them.

Good to know captain obvious.

First, what is the problem we are trying to solve?
To stop the group called ISIS/ISIL from gaining more territory and then push them back.

In many cases this is the hardest of the questions to answer.
I honestly dont think it is. Was pretty darn simple.
 
Im sure declaring war on Islam who has 25% of the worlds population is gonna work :roll:

Islam consists of political and religious parts, intermingled. Do all adherents of the religion of peace agree on both parts?

Devising a strategy to defeat the Islam does not require waging war on a billion people. How many people still worship Mithras?

No. But as you stated: "When Islam is the problem".
--Islam is not the problem, extremism is.

So you admit, you want to declare war on a religion. :doh


I swear some people love never ending wars. Who is next Oceania, Eurasia or Eastasia?

...pearls before swine...I do not believe you are serious. I will spend my last few minutes playing World of Warcraft instead.

This is why people like you should never be involved in developing strategy.

Well when you declare war on 25% of the wars population let me know how it turns out since you know a lot about developing strategy behind the keys of World of Warcraft. Point and click man! Point and click!

Are you working toward ignore? I have been polite to you. Is there something in your character that makes it hard to learn from someone willing to teach you?
