  • Re: The Global War on Terror 5.0: Putin on the Risk

    Saw a post/tweet that US is sending the A-10 to the ISIS/L conflict. Looking for an article to confirm.

He made a mess from the get go, making a visit to the Middle East early in his first term and pointedly skipping visiting our closest ally, Israel. It's hard to criticize Obama's policies in the region when he doesn't really seem to have any. So, I call trick question on you!
      Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelarious, Bob. Top notch.

        Hilarious isn't the first word I'd use to describe Obama's Middle East approach, but this is USCHO, so no surprise really.

          Forget the A-10. Let's just battle ISIS with ISIS and be done with them.
          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

              I've been critical of your posts in the past, Bob, for being overly vague, but I appreciate that you took a shot at it, and humor never hurts. I have to ask, though, what government do you believe were our allies in late 2008 but are now our enemies as a result of Obama's policies (or, as you say, lack of policies) ? And what positive relationships did we enjoy in late 2008 that have gone sour under Obama--and what is your evidence of that? What are the facts upon which you base your conclusions?

                Careful. There are some on here who feel persecuted when they are asked to be reasonably specific in their criticism and to support it with facts.

                        You're expecting a straight answer not couched in avoidance, without playing the martyr card nor deflection?

                              Bob's in the same position most conservatives are, which is why I find his posts to be valuable. Vehement Obama opposition is great, but in any campaign, like 2012 or 2016, at some point you have to say what you would do, not "I disagree" 5,000 times. Recall Dems were on track to fall short yet again in the 2006 mid-terms until they finally came out against the war, a firm departure from Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld principles.

                              So when Mittens starting bleating about keeping US troops in Iraq and spending an extra 2T over 10 years on the military, he became a laughingstock which he still is despite all his poor sportsmanship of late. We've asked Bob, Opie, Fishy, and all other righties the same question - what would you do differently in the Middle East? Nobody's given us a coherent answer, leading me to believe nobody on the right has one.
