A great way to use taxpayer money
Success is not measured by deaths. The main goal in situations at this timeframe is not to simply kill people. It's mostly about taking out infrastructure and command and control. Once the enemy is blind, mute, and immobile, that's when troops go in to kill people. Hopefully other countries troops, not ours.

Hopefully the rebels will use to fight Assad, any support they get from the outside world should be spent on bringing the barbaric, vicious regime in Syria down. As for eliminating ISIS, that America and our allies' job.

In war, success is measured by land gained, and deaths of enemy combatants. And 210,000 dollars a head, is not successful.

Kill, kill, kill. And we wonder why others don't like us.

I'd agree with half of that.

Never. He's "The One" and a Nobel Peace prize winner.

I never called Bush a war criminal, I called him a moron. The same can be said of many politicians, but Bush was pretty damned bad.

I thought that was asinine when he had done nothing to deserve getting the Nobel prize for peace to begin with.
