I've heard differing estimates between 10k and 200k. A few months, to indefinitely. Let's face it, it's a quagmire. No simple solution.

then if that's your tactic then throw in the white flag and quit....give our enemies all the territories they want and tell the world that the best military in the world is just for show, its all bark and no bite.


how is Obama's policy of NO ground troops working?

You didn't miss much. Same old, "co-worker violence, guns are bad, ban semi autos, defends Islamists, lecture. Oh, and , don't say anything offensive about Mulims or you will be prosecuted. Same old bla bla bla.

You're not addressing the questions, or the problem. Without a plan, we'll get the same results as we have in this past decade.

<Compares civilian and military casualties in Afghanistan/Iraq to Syria>

It's working just fine!

I agree. I think that once the FBI stated the California Attack was a "Terrorist Attack" that he felt forced into doing something (scared Democrats were also pushing for him to speak) - Obama has spent YEARS claiming "no Terrorist Attacks on his watch. He was forced into speaking, clear he didn't want to be there.

TeamObama is totally tone deaf - he is desperately attempting to keep things contained as much as possible until he can escape office. Odds are against him - a Paris Style attack is headed our way.

Maybe the FBI can trace the Money Trail in time to stop it - the Christmas Party attack was almost a Dry Run. It's pretty clear that they had something bigger planned.

Probably not, but then, neither can you.

Where do you think those guns come from?

No, you don't get it. He wants everyone in the entire room to be armed.

A new Federal Order went out tonight that all of the military will be issued Crocs instead of boots in order to keep obuma's promises.
