......it's almost as if we elected a college adjunct with no executive experience to speak of to be our Commander in Chief.......
Then do it, dont tell the "murderous bastard" you are going to do it for three weeks then sabre rattle some more before giving a speech about it.
Figure it out.
Our security will be at greater risk, Israels security will be at greater risk. And with Russia getting involved? Who knows what crazy direction things could take.
The way Putin is man handling Obama, he probably thinks he could push us out of the ME all together.
Yea, what was I thinking, how possible could a strike against another middle eastern country have a negative effect.Actually I suspect you made it up. Would it threaten Maritime Dominance? Ability to project into the Littorals? Ability to destabilize consolidation attempts over central asia? Critical Infrastructure?
....no.... ish. Putin probably thinks he can replace us in much of the ME, as we are in such a hurry to leave we are creating a vacuum.

Who is next? Lybia? Yemen? The next Syrian regime? What other piss poor military made up of half wit pilots and little trained tankers can we find to push around because they dont treat their people right?
Tough talk of military strikes should never have come from Obama's mouth.:shrug: well there are a multiplicity of plausible futures, but there are also many ways in which no strikes have a positive effect.

He knew there was no support for it, never will be.
well, the most important part of a threat is credibility. I'd say we just flushed a good bit of ours.
In Libya, coalition forces only killed 1k civilians. That's reality.
Nice selective memory. What about Iraq? How any with drones? They'll likely never report or even co.pile the full of those stats.
Does anybody else find it peculiar that Hillary has been mysteriously silent through all of this Syria stuff.

Considering the events of the last 15 years or so, I would say we had no more than a thimble full to flush.
Its credible, just not plausable. We as a nation can very easily back up the tough talk to the point of turning the whole ME into the proverbial sheet of glass.
But everyone over there now knows we wont do it. They know we are weak of mind and heart.
Do you think Syria is more like Libya or Iraq. Let's be real. The 1k is total civilians by coalition forces. We're ~60k civilians late, and it's time to end that dictatorship.
