France and the UK are not bombing as much as we are.
In fact, we're bombing more than everyone else put together, except maybe the Russians, and that's because the Russians are carpet bombing, they don't care who they kill as long as Assad's enemies are dying, civilian hostages or not. You do know what carpet bombing is don't you? Ask Ted. He wants to make the sand glow. You know who the civilians are, don't you? Ask The Donald, he's the one who wants to go after the families. That kind of bully boy tough talk may make Conservatives feel all warm and fuzzy, but its really, really stupid. It just pisses off people who hate ISIS and will get them to change sides and work against us instead. THAT'S WHY SOMETIMES THE PLANES COME BACK STILL CARRYING ORDNANCE. Its not only the smart thing to do from a military point of view, its the right thing to do.
We have been taking out ISIS leaders with drones, one after another, and hitting more and more economic targets, which means we're developing a lot of intelligence; and we are moving in spotters on the ground to take advantage of the new intelligence we're developing. Short of ground troops, we're doing a hell of a lot, more than anyone else. Remember, those are not our countries. We have to kiss the Turk's ass just to use our base at Incirlik. And I agree with the President that we should not be sending in any infantry. We tried that, remember? It didn't work. We can't just go into another part of the world unless we're invited. That's how we got in this mess, remember?
Your problem, Rob, along with all the other Conservatives, is that Obama will never do enough for you, no matter what he does, but your lot doesn't have any ideas except to accuse Obama of "lack of leadership". The Right has even refused to give him the authorization for the use of force he needs. I suspect this has been done on purpose, as part of the program of blackmail, obstruction and sabotage the Right has been conducting for the last seven years in an attempt to discredit this President, by not allowing him to do anything, even appoint judges and agency chiefs. And why, because they don't like his ideas on health insurance?
So far, the only Republican with an actual ISIS plan of his own was Lindsay Graham, and you saw what happened to him. The last thing the Republican Congress wants is for America to succeed in the middle east. They need an American failure so they can blame it all on Obama, take the White House and vote themselves a tax cut.
The rest of the Klown Kar is just talk, talk out of both sides of their mouths, accompanied by copious smoke out their ass.
