Re: On ‘Face the Nation,’ Senators Feinstein, McCain Call For More U.S. Troops In M.E
Well one does have to have a starting point. I was looking more at the point of ISIS and their supporters being driven from the city. As that can be done.
Do you think with what Sisi of Egypt is saying and getting their Holymen out and about might be part of the solution? Especially after the enemy is driven off and will conduct their suicide bombings.
The problem is with what happens AFTER the city (or any other area) is "taken". Returning control back to the locals (the original situation) accomplishes absolutely nothing yet that has been our "plan". We are engaged in an endless game of whack-a-mole in areas not under any control at all. Essentially, we pay bribes to the local "officials" for the privilege of zapping a few terrorists and then more bribes to allow us to help establish, arm and train local "security" forces to be placed under their control.
