“What the Hell are we bombing there?”

...sand and an occasional scorpion, but with great precision (at GREAT expense) and no collateral damage.

{”But this is Obama we’re talking about and his version of compromise is getting everything he wants”}

So we must assume he got exactly what he wanted with Iran.

Bomb their mosques. Kill their religious/political leaders.

Should have been done a long time ago. Boots on the ground to mop up and take out their entire families.

This has bothered me for a long time. When you see a truck “blow up real good” on one of those videos, keep in mind that what did it is a precision guided weapon - probably a $100K weapon shot from a $50 million dollar plane controlled by billions of dollars of command and control - all that to blow up a Toyota with a machine gun mounted in the truck bed and two goobers with the equivalent of a fourth grade education.

'Boots on the ground to mop up and take out their entire families.'

Obama's JV team bullies may soon be facing a tag team of Russian paratroopers and French Foreign Legionnaires.

Let it be known that ISIS will not be allowed to exist in the confines of any city. If they show up, the city is doomed.

That way the residents of any city where they may show up will be properly motivated make sure they aren’t allowed to stay.

Simple, but effective plan.

So why is France the only one striking back? Maybe now that France has had its go at them, the rest of the civilized world might drop 20 each of their own.

So if we knew where all these targets were, how come they weren’t already bombed off the face of the earth???

Exactly.

I have the same question. Raqqa has been their ‘capitol’ for a good long while now. Why is there anything left to bomb?

Darn, why can’t they use this filthy traitor as a payload? Drop the POS strapped to a bomb (which actually does something useful) on Raqqa.

It’s not a question of revenge even though there is elements of that in their ( France ) response, but it’s a question of national survival to take out these satanically inspired ISiS hell holers.

Well, the French also said Russia wasn’t doing much in bombing ISIS, maybe ISIS is finally getting bombed with Russia and the USA as bystanders.

We were told “ISIS was within hours of being annihiliated” that shore didn’t happen.

This is merely a PR exercise by the socialist Hollande: a show bombing.

It is an Obama-style pinprick.

Neither Hollande nor Obama want to upset the Red-Green Alliance.

Good graphic, I must say I looked at a table of what each country is actually doing, I think Belgium or Denmark only contributed one airstrike but it’s something. So I believe the point is, just because a country is listed may not mean they have been very active. I don’t mean that as a criticism of these countries, just facts to bear in mind.

Level the whole damn city.

I would suggest the following: On day one we announce that on day three the city will be leveled. If you are ISIS you will die. If you are not ISIS it is suggested you leave or you will die. They will not believe you and most will stay.

On day three announce that you lied and use neutron bombs instead. Everyone there will die and you do not destroy a perfectly usable city.

They will not die immediately but they will die and it will be brutal and agonizing. The enemy understands this kind of action.

On day four repeat as necessary.

War is a brutal and ugly thing. When at war with a committed enemy their is no negotiation possible as their commitment is fanatical. This was the case with the Japanese. Two atomic bombs changed their fanaticism.

He who is not ready to kill his enemy and all that stand with him is destined to defeat. He who will kill his enemy and all that stand with him will not need to as his enemy will not raise his hand in anger against him for fear of losing his life, his family, his country and all that is dear to him or her.

Our military is the finest killing machine in history. When you put limitations and insane "Rules of Engagement" on them they are not longer this perfect machine of death. As such our enemies will engage us. The best military is one that is never used because your enemy knows to engage it is certain death.
