Iraq and ISIS Discussion

[hoepoe]

ISIS captured the primary corssing between Iraq and Jordan. As of last night, Jordanian reserve troops had been called into service to help secure the border.

Jordan is not like Iraq or Syria, they are better trained, better equipped and i hope to see them better keep ISIS out of Jordan.

Rand Paul finally came out on Fox TV this morning and sail al-Maliki needs to go.

I believe that should be a condition for airstrikes.

That and control of at least half of the oil fields.

Jordan has deployed (reportedly) missile launchers and tanks to the Iraqi border.

Which means those F-16's that recently returned from Jordan can go back to Jordan.

Apparently our support is going to be "intense". It seems this administration went from "sustainable" to "significant" to "great" and now "intense" support. Musical semantic chairs.

Wonder which country al-Maliki will flee too, Qatar?

 

[Marine0311]

I am not in favor of any U.S involvement.

Just kicking the tyres but what if any, ground to air capability do ISIS have?

Well words are what caused Putin to withdraw from Crimea...

The DIVISION lost 17 men and they called it quits and ran, wow. Good job.

Bring in the B-52s and carpet bomb them a la Vietnam.

Is he anti-US enough for Qatar to grant him a visa?

I think so.

His anti-Americanism is what allowed this to happen.

Thats what I was getting at in a roundabout way. The air component of Gulf War 1 went for 34 days. Does ISIS have any air defence toys?

Then Qatar's like Motel 6, they'll leave a light on for ya'.
