ISIS is
brutal, heinous, barbaric and from the face of the earth should be effaced
But they are
not stupid; they observe and know with Obama there can be no real red line in
place
Assad used
chemical weapons against his own people despite Obama’s warning so stern
No response,
no reaction and not a single tomahawk so no surprise that we now learn
News showing
photos of dead Kurds with characteristic mustard gas burns
ISIS is as
safe as safe can be as long as boots on the ground the President spurns
ISIS goes go
on the internet to recruit more jihadists but for arms it is to the brick and
mortar store
With ease as
the Iraqis seem to have no will to fight, ISIS captures another base for more.
The more
this mess continues Iraq other than Kurdistan is a lost cause
As long as
this President will not commit more than one carrier to give ISIS a good daily
dose of shock and awe
Like the
Germans who had combat troops next to the Italians or Rumanians to stiffen
their will to fight
Or the
military advisers with ARVN to insure with their prodding combat orders were
done right
If we believe
that an Iraq existing whether one country, two or three is our national goal
Public
opinion notwithstanding, coalition lacking, and Syrian moderates not ready,
time for American troops to take control
Continuing
airstrikes alone is a waste of money, equipment and time and doomed to fail
Longer we
persist in these futile attempts the more we look to the jihadist world as
frail.
Hopefully
after his 200th round of golf our CinC returns to his office
refreshed
And not
needing to flee in Air Force One to press the fundraising flesh
He will make time to listen
carefully to his military leaders and do what has to be done
Public
opinion notwithstanding to apply overwhelming force to have this war on ISIS
won
