This has been reported in the past about our pilots coming back with their bombs and missiles still on board.

How much is it costing us to show the enemy to the ordnance and then bring it back home? And where are all the news stories wailing about it?

He's been deliberately weak going after ISIS in order that his Russian comrades have reason to move in and grab control of the Middle East.

Oh I think he's looking beyond empowering European white males with imperial ambitions. He wants an Islamic superpower superior to said white Europeans. He wants ISIS to get their hands on Saddam's biological weapons.

The Soviet Union first proposed to the UN to eradicate smallpox worldwide in 1954. That task was completed in the early 1970s. At that time, the UN came to the US and the Soviet Union proposing that we destroy our stocks of virus, which, to its credit, the Carter administration refused to do. At the same time, Biopreparat in the Soviet Union was reputed to be working with black smallpox. That facility on an island in the Aral Sea has been in the hands of Muslims for over a decade. There were reports that some of the virus had been acquired by Saddam Hussein.

To my knowledge, vaccination was minimally effective against weaponized smallpox, but the point is moot: we have no way to vaccinate that many people and their immunity is long gone.

Can you imagine black pox in the hands of ISIS? I think that's what he wants.

“If we had fought WWII like this, it would still be going on....”

Worse.. the Allies would’ve been crushed.

In a sane world, the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader would call out the CIC on this immediately! Cabinet officials would be summoned to the floor of Congress to explain.

“75 Percent of Islamic State Strikes” and “75 percent of their ordnance” are two different things.

Which is it?

Military has both hands tied behind their backs. ISIS has no better friend that BHO.

If the muslims keep invading and attacking Europe many of those countries will volunteer to join the New Soviet Re-Union for protection. Putin is the only world leader who knows how to deal with them. There used to be a few others but we killed them.

It reads that targets are often blocked due to an Obama administration policy to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage.

I don’t believe that...he’s protecting Muslims period....this is as good excuse as any not to take them out!

It reads.... We are fighting an enemy who goes out of their way to put civilians at risk.

Well sheesh!.... maybe if they bombed anyway Isis would cease using them since it didn’t divert the attacks....thus saving those they otherwise would continue to use.

It was noted that when Russia began bombing ISIS was on the run....so they understood Russia would play hardball no matter the damage....if they all would just fire away this could be over much sooner rather than later.

Just pull the whole bandage off.....and let the hairs that go with it sting .....most left in Syria are supporting them anyway.

That’s how I see it as well....it’s been four or five years now so any who really could are out of Syria .....those remaining can’t or won’t leave and unfortunately in war there are those who will die other than troops....war is just that war.

***He doesn’t care if he looks like a fool in the process***

BS. That’s why he is getting so angry at these press conferences. Yes he is a puppet on a string and yes he is just a figurehead but that doesn’t change the fact that the man has Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Being placed in the Presidency sounded like “fun” in the beginning for this man child, he was told they’ll do everything and you can travel and play golf. But he didn’t take into account the criticism because he didn’t think there would be any because he is so wonderful and everyone adores him and because he is black.

But when the criticism comes from Republicans, he laughs and thinks it’s funny. When it starts coming from democrats like Feinstein and from the media like CNN look at him, he’s mad as hell and his fragile child ego can’t handle it but that’s too bad because he’s owned.

Yeah ol Tecumseh probably knows what it is to burn even today. But that’s a discussion for another day.

Maybe the French could follow our pilots in and strike the targets we’re not allowed to, since the French have suddenly (and what a pleasant surprise it is) found their backbones and started to wage war on the enemy.

Haven’t all the “civilians” left? As refugees?
