Ahhh...
All those idiots in the pentagon and Washington decided they needed some serious firepower on scene, eh?
That's OK - 10 minutes after this thing is over, they'll forget and be calling to kill the Warthog again.

So far the notable systems used have been programs Obama killed...F-22, Tomahawk, and A-10. With Boeing considering leaving the fighter business, you might be able to add F-18 to that list as well.

The A10? Too useful. Too reliable. Too versatile. Too inexpensive. That’s why the Pentagon is dropping them.

Looks like the Air Force brass finally figured out the best tool for the job. Cookie pushers

Add in some B-52s carpet bombing too.

You seem to think that we will have to fight ISIS only in the ME.
You seem to forget the many ‘American’ ISIS members swimming in an ocean of ‘peaceful’ muslims as a recruiting source, right here at home.
These cannot be “reached” with C-130’s and can stay hidden for years. -------------------------------------
Agreed. We'll suffer through that then (and regret letting them in the country in the first place). But in the meantime, we can put a hurting on all the ones already over there and keep the majority from coming over here.
