Obama dilema if he okays air raids on ISIS

[bonnyprincecharlie]

Obama has a serious problem if he does okay air raids on ISIS forces. The problem is where do the air raids stop in Iraq? or in Syria? He will have to figure out an answer to this one if he uses the reason for air raids is to attack the ISIS. He has a real pickle of a problem if does commit to air raids.

I don't think he will authorize anything, unless it is drone attacks on individuals.

Obama's problem is solved now that there is no border between Syria and Iraq because ISIS occupies both sides of the border.

But most interesting to me as I watched an undersecretary of state say the US is supplying Hell Fire missiles to Iraq and they are being used very effectively. This undersecretary was followed by a former general said in so many since the Iraq Air Force has two Cessna airplanes to deliver the missiles. It has very limited capabilities to fire the missiles on ISIS. It's unbelievable that anObama administration career officer would try to pull off this half truth. T

What some conservatives overlook is how much better the whole region was before Bush and his wag the dog wars destabilized the area.

Now ancient history is being destroyed along with people.

That's just crazy talk, and not basest on facts.

That's just denial of reality. Christians were far better off under Saddam, for example.

Surgical air strikes are good and they are stifling ISIL. But the real test is going to be when the Iraq army goes on offensive against ISIL. Will they be able to stand up to ISIL or will they break and run?

If Obama bombs ISIL in Syria he will have Hillary and McCain screaming: "I told you so." I hope Obama follows Israel's lead and goes after jehadist's leaders.
Of course Obama has already proven Assaud is not the problem at the moment, since he could have brought stability to Syria. Now ISIL is new threat which Assaud will exist with.
