First of all: How are you going to bomb people into the stone age when they are mostly already there but with satellite phones?
Second: A "Forever War" that produces more fanatic terrorists then it kills is a very good deal for the people funding and supplying the "Good Guys (US)". A lot more people are getting rich off this war than are dying of it. Besides the people doing the dying are not the people making the money and as the money makers are making the decisions they simply don't care as none of "theirs" will be at risk.
IMHO - We should remove our army, our diplomats and as many of our (our being American and European including Russian) citizens as want to leave from the entire area from Libya to Lebanon and east to Afghanistan and Pakistan. We may leave behind provocateurs to inflame regional, cultural and religious differences while selling, not giving, small arms to everyone. After a while, at least a few generations, of this fratricide the survivors might be willing to join the 22nd Century. Maybe but maybe not as fratricide describes the situation in the region for the last millennia.
Even the Democrats are asking the same questions. His lack of engagement is going to weigh upon the minds of the informed voter in November's elections and the Democrats know it.
I thought the airstrikes he ordered was doing that nicely.
Again, you want us to put boots on the ground? Then don't whine about the POTUS being a war monger.
If you don't want him to put boots on the ground? Then don't whine about the POTUS being a wimp.
The guy before him set this whole crappy scenario up be taking away the only barrier to civil war and insurgency in Iraq, and installing a government who is either unwilling or unable to keep peace in their own country. To put it in simple terms, you broke it, you bought it.
That should be a no-brainer.
Unfortunately, whatever the POTUS does the right wing will knee-jerk a negative response. So foam and froth away, and arm chair quarterback everything they guy does.
I don't see anybody calling for war rushing to the recruiting office to "join up". It's a lot easier when someone else does it, I guess. It's sooo easy to rattle the old saber and call for war when somebody else, or somebody elses kid does the bleeding and dying for you.
Oh, and who the hell is Judge Jeanine? The new RWNJ mouthpiece?

Should the president respond with the nation's blood to every tinpot provocation in just the way the tinpot desires? There is a real problem when any president now or in the future is expected to react immediately--and to announce it to all--to everything that pops up in the media.
BUT HE HAS, he took sides with the Central Florida issue, and he has taken sides with the New York City one.......

Judge Jeanine Pirro, has been a TOP NEW YORK CITY PROSECUTOR for many years, who now has her own television show......and commands lots of followers because she says it, like it is.........
BUT HE HAS, he took sides with the Central Florida issue, and he has taken sides with the New York City one.......
And that is a real problem. You proved my point.
