This is the guy I saw on FNC. Pretty devastating. Makes this whole thing sound like another Aspirin factory bombing.

“We want bloodless, push-button victories with cruise missiles, drones and no collateral damage.”......

Would be better to just stay home then. ANYONE who has ever been in combat knows that destroying buildings does NOT kill the enemy. Yes, there are times when it works to your advantage to remove a building, particularly if it is occupied by the enemy at the time. It is NOT the building that is going to shoot back at you when the SHTF.

Retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has never been shy about expressing his opinions. I love it!

There were no images of the ISIL night shift pouring out of those buildings being hit with smart bombs. All that was accomplished was damage to some real estate. The inhabitants were tipped off to save themselves and important property from the buildings beforehand.

The “5 regional nations involved” are basically there by name only...

Your first strike should’ve been at the busiest time of day for the terrorists...

You destroy the terrorists and there is no one to use the “resources and facilities”

Your plan only allows the terrorists to regroup at sites that have to be AGAIN found and investigated, then attacked...

As a lot of young men (and a couple of older men) that I know would say, “Oohrah!”

He is absolutely correct. Now that the executive branch has made their agenda blatantly apparent, I’m going to have some fun studying my Bible. One thing I remember about God speaking to nations after the crud was over is that Jordan survives pretty much intact. Damascus is obliterated like Babylon, never to exist again. Maranatha!
