They are sick of wars, but not in the way most people think. They are sick of wars we have no intention of winning nor any plan to win.

However, arming the Kurds and other fighting groups is not us fighting on the ground.

We’ve been watching this for years now. If president, I would already have a trained group of Kurdish fixed and rotary wing pilots, trained group of crew served weapons experts, and trained ground warriors. They would have their weapons, there would be a relationship with a Kurdish government, and the so-called interested neighboring countries would be told to shut up.

Incidentally, I agree with Trump that the oil should be taken out of the hands of ISIS. I would close those wells down that are in ISIS hands.

Sure we are but we could make a difference by making a serious attempt to bomb them. What we’re doing now is just for show and it’s having no real impact.

We could also be helping those being killed by isis. We’re not doing that.

We could have stayed a little longer in Iraq and this wouldn’t have happened. We helped overthrow Libya and they well be overrun by isis. Sooner or later, we’re going to have to deal with it.

We don’t have to put boots on the ground to make a real difference. The problem is that Obama and his muslim brotherhood pals are on the wrong side.

They may well be, but if history teaches us anything, it is that sooner or later the war will come to us (as it did on 9/11). Ignoring these sick bastards isn't going to make them go away. On the other hand, lots of smart bombs and 5.56mm will.

I'm sick of losing wars.

Especially when we were winning them until Democrats took over.
