Iraq and ISIS Discussion

[Diamondback 2/2]

Bottom line that whole area needs to redraw their borders, we need to wackamole on ISIS when and where we can, and we really need to sell weapons to the Region...let them sort that shit out, and make some of our money back selling them our old stock pile.

Recipe For Quagmire:

1. Add a few advisors and air assets.
2. Add additional advisors and more air assets.
3. Add Special Forces.
4. Add more air assets.
5. Add a battalion of infantry to provide security for air assets.
6. Add a regiment of infantry to hunt down the people who are rocketing and mortaring your air assets on the ground.
7. Build an FOB for the infantry regiment.
8. Put in a Burger King.
9. Send in a division to protect the Burger King.

Wow. I thought the destruction in Bosnia was the worst but this is unbelievable.

Russians or ISIL?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Who's the mystery man sniping ISIS top commanders? Love to think it is one of ours, but would not be surprised if we learn later that the Russians are behind this...they've been awful quiet lately.

Of course if it is the Russians we'll likely never know...otherwise, I'll read the book when it comes out.

Turkey says Russia violated airspace, summons ambassador - CNN.com

(CNN)Turkey's Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador in Ankara to protest and condemn what it called a violation of airspace by a Russian warplane.

The Foreign Ministry said the Russian SU-34 fighter was warned by Turkish air radar units, in both English and Russian, before it crossed into Turkish airspace from Syria on Friday.

US urges Turkey to stop attacks on Kurdish allies | Fox News

The U.S. government called Saturday on Turkey to stop shelling American-backed Kurdish fighters in northern Syria as the militants sought to seize new ground before a possible cease-fire, creating dangerous fissures between tenuous allies in the war against Islamic State extremists.

Here's our level of hypocrisy. Like I posted earlier, months ago we gave Turkey airspace and carte blanche to go bomb the Kurds. Curiously that coincided with the announcement we could base more aircraft at Incirlik and launch strikes from that base. Now we're saying Turkey needs to stop attacking the Kurds? WTF are we thinking....or are we thinking? Madness. "10 million" a day, our aircrews and "advisors" on the ground are legit risking their lives, and here's an example of our strategy or what passes for strategy these days?

Unreal.

Our dear leader has this under control. You just don't understand how complex these international issues are.

Personally, this shit (ISIL ruling the "world") never would have started had Obama shitcanned Maliki back in 2010. Yes, the Bush admin made a huge mistake disbanding the Iraqi security forces in 2003 but Obama's A-team dismissed the warnings about growing sectarian violence in Iraq (perhaps they thought it was due justice for Sunnis ruling Shiites) but either way, the "blame Bush" era is long over.

This is Obama's Iraq now.

Just one big gigantic clusterfuck and Kerry's in way over his head. There is no stopping this train.

Excellent question! The answer is that we will not know until the Presidential elections, and the Electoral College results are in. Even then, the answer could still be on hold.
