Why can't they just shut up and do it?

[marshal kane]

It really torques me! The prez has finally been told that ISIS is not the JV team he has been led to believe which leads secretary of defense Chuck Hagel and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff Dempsy to openly discuss on nationwide tv that in order to defeat ISIS, both Syria and Iraq needs to be targeted. Why can't they just shut up and do it? Terrorist watch tv and also read newspapers so now know what Washington is thinking. Does anyone believe those ISIS supply depots in Syria are just going to sit there and allow us to dump bombs on them? By the time this actually happens, those depots are going to just be empty warehouses and fields. While I believe in a free press, media, etc. they don't have to be let in on EVERYTHING especially when discussing military strategy. During the real war, WWII, there were posters posted everywhere that said "Loose Lips Sink Ships" does no one in Washington remember that? I'm not that naïve to think the terrorist don't already know that we're planning to throw the kitchen sink at them, but why rub their noses in it and give them time to prepare? Do we need to give them a timetable and a map too?

This administration has continually stuck it's foot in it's mouth for years, and can't get out of it's own way. Although these people who they are dealing with are animals, they seem to think that they are stupid. This gene pool has been fighting for ages, and will never stop, because this is what they do. It's like Bush said..............you can't reason with these people. This administration/pres better get that through their idealogical minds before it's too late for the world. When you are dealing with animals, you have to treat them like animals, and when animals are sick, or injured.................we put them down.

That is strong language there......not saying it is right or wrong...just strong

They're like a cancer..............................if you leave just a tiny bit, it will come back with a vengeance. How much longer do we want to play pattycake with these animals?

As I was told in Ranger training....."Kill them all and let God sort them out, for he knows his own"!
Another quotable quote...."do unto others as you would do unto them, except do it first"!

Funny we keep doing the same thing over and over again....If you will remember back to the early days of civil war in Syria we were giving weapons and supplies to the so called "Freedom Fighters" who were trying to take down Bashar Assad...Well skip forward to 2014 and the old Freedom Fighters are now called ISIS and are radical Muslim killers that Al Qaeda kicked out of their group for being too vicious and out of control even for them....

Many of the weapons we are using air power to combat today in Iraq and soon to be Syria are the very same ones that we gave them to fight Assad and supplied to the new Iraq government back when we thought they were the good guys....We never seem to learn that todays friend will be tomorrows foe over in the sand box....I say let them fight it out amoungst themselves and kill as many as possible and eventually a strong vicious Dictator will take over and rule with an iron hand like Assad does and Sadam did before we killed him....This is the ONLY form of government these poeple understand and even though it seems cruel and horrible to us, it works well for them.....

Your a man that has done his homework..........so true in many instances in that part of the world.

One advantage to waiting a bit is, if they form a "nation" in the traditional sense of the word, whether it's a Caliphate or something else, then we can formally declare war on it. We keep wanting to fight 20th century style wars, which require a formal declaration of war from Congress, and an enemy that uses an army with uniforms and nice civilized Geneva Convention rules to follow. We need their head of state as a focus of our hate (like Hitler was) and they all need to die for their country. Our culture, politics, and tradition is incapable of dealing with any other type of enemy.

provocative and something that I need to think about.

Very interesting analysis, deep stuff. But I suspect our real problem is simpler.. and more difficult. They do have a head of state - named "Abu Baker something or other". Our problem is that WE don't have a head of state.

yep, the US needs some real management.

OBL was easy to hate, we could shoot his image on range targets. Bag Daddy might get there, I think he's too new at the job. Plus, they seem to change leaders a lot, and even keep going without a clear leader.

This administration doesn't know how to do anything other than manipulate the low-information voters. As for running a country: they haven't a clue.

The Democrat party is run by behind-the-scenes controllers whose only allegience is to power. They don't care about the social agenda. They will advance any platform that dupes the stupid and keeps them in power.

There are no good guys over there. When are we gonna recognize that? Let 'em duke it out. That's what they want. Park the carriers in the Mediterranian and run sortees over anyone who gets close to Israel or the oil tankers.

(Rant).

The only thing bigger than the community organizers ears are his feet! He enjoys putting one of them in his big fat trap!

[marcinstl]

The politicians(any race, creed, color or party) are run by behind-the-scenes and no so behind the scenes controllers whose only allegiance is to power . They don't care about the social agenda. They will advance any platform that dupes the stupid and keeps them in power. if voting for the least worse gives you some allusion of having a say, hey, be my guest. make as much money as you can, run it wisely. shoot at least 100 rounds a week.
