- ...Obama said his draft would not authorize long-term, large-scale ground combat operations like those in the past in Iraq and Afghanistan, with local forces instead carrying that responsibility.
He said he wants the flexibility for ground combat operations "in other more limited circumstances." Those include rescue missions, intelligence collection and the use of special operations forces in possible military action against IS leaders.... Sure sounds like boots on the ground to me. Sigh. The company that makes body bags will appreciate the business. | |

No matter how one attempts to hide behind the wording....it's war/combat and that means what it means...Let's not kid ourselves though there have been boots on the ground there since we left... If he's already signaled what we are not prepared to do then why enter?....Guess this JV Terrorist Group turned out to be more than when he was ignoring it...Hate this but let's quit *!@*^%$ around and do what needs to be done... | |

| As an aside, I believe sending weapons to Ukraine is also a horrible mistake. | |

Announce that paratroopers are being deployed to Ukraine....for a guy that criticized the previous administraion for being the 'police of the world'....he's certainly changed his attitude.... | |

| Hey, Lindsay Graham is begging for us to get into a ground war over there. The POTUS and the Congress will finally agree on something and they will both be wrong.
Nobody can be blamed but the people that vote.
The ones that think we can whup everybody's ass and also that we have the right to because we are God's chosen people.
It's the voters. The problem, Dear Brutus, is not in our stars but in ourselves.
That's the God's honest truth. And it ain't pretty. | |
