Training can't be done from the air. It requires b**ts on the g****d...

For this, you can 100% blame Bush.
We should not have cut and ran before the job was done. 100% Obama's fault.

I suggest we find those who are training ISIS and hire them. By all accounts they are doing a fine job. They can live off the land too. They even find their own Humvees for free. How cool is that? Our record of training anybody is pretty dismal.

How many more tours of duty are required before our servicemen/women can stay out of harm’s way?
How much is enough.................

Exactly, you have to be pretty ignorant to think that we will not have any soldier over there.

Actually, we will be lucky if the soldiers that are training are the only ones that have to go over there. I predict another long and drawn out war with many more unneeded casualties. Also, we have an alliance now, but in the next couple of years they will end up getting bored of the conflict and leave us holding the bag again.

Not to worry......The media says that Obama is the smartest President that has ever occupied the White House, even though he has hidden all his school records from Kindergarden all the way to Harvard....

But they were trained. Training wasn't the problem. They didn't fight. In contrast, look at the other side. Who trained them? They are fighting in t-shirts and sneakers and winning.

So it is going to take a whole year to rain 5000 rebels (it will never happen, btw)? May I ask who is training the ISIS? They just overran a Syrian air base. Look at his outfit. Beat up sneakers, no socks, ill fitting pants, and a dressy hat. They did not need "boots on the ground" coming from aroundthe world, and $500 million dollars. There is something wrong here. Wait, he has even got cellphone service. Wonder what kind of plan he is on?

I'd rather have the regions people fight against ISIS than us, it is their land and they call ISIS enemies, why not fight them? I've been waiting for the people to finally grab arms and take action, instead of run and cower. I understand that it is a horrible situation and all these people just want to live peacefully, but sometimes you have to fight for that peace (just like the Kurds).
