We already tried that in Iraq. It didn't work. The terrorists were prepared to wait as long as necessary, certainly longer than "a while".But you have no answer for who governs the damn place after "victory." And you simply rehash the clusterfuck inflicted by W.What is weird is the only solution you offer is hurry up and wait. I assume you have never been in the military?
I'm retired military, and if you think "nuke Islam" is a solution, then you are even more retarded than I thought.
It's an idiot idea for people with the intellectual capacity of a bumper sticker.
I've pointed out many, many times on this forum that if we go after ISIS in Iraq and Syria, it will require a minimum ten year occupation.
Do you want Obama to commit the next two or three Presidents to an occupation?
None of you tards ever answer this question.
You know why? Because if you say no, that means just doing what we are doing while ISIS plots against us. "Hurry up and wait".
If you say yes, then you are committing to another long, long war that you know the American people have no stomach for.
ISIS knows that, too. That's why they are provoking us into one. They know if we come after them, we won't stay long enough to see the job through. They are willing to sacrifice tens of thousands of their lives. We turn and run if we lose a few thousand. So ISIS will win that war, and our defeat/leaving will validate their base territory as a legitimate entity.
And Trump and all his idiot rubes are playing right into their hands.
So...come up with a REAL plan, dispshit.
Well, I'm a veteran and I say give our military the authority and the backing of the Congress and the American people and let them go and win this thing quickly and in a way the terrorists will respect. With overwhelming force.
Of course I do. We govern. We took over Japan and Germany for a while after we defeated them. We would need to take over Iraq and recoup our military expenses from their oil supply. This crap of fighting wars for other nations at our own expense has always been a stupid policy.
Well, we have bases in Japan and in Germany today. I don't see your problem.
