I wonder if he would have called those strikes on the day that he did, had the Russian American Embassy not had that Birthday Message projected on it.
Calling in an airstrike is a cheap way to flex your muscles.

I have zero problem with waxing these extremist shitheads.
They want a war with us, we'll give it to them, tamped down and overflowing, as WSC once said.
We shouldn't have invaded in 2003, but Isolationism doesn't work, either.
The Israelis recently demonstrated to the world the proper application of retaliatory force.
Don't. Fuck. With. Us. Capiche?

I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out later that this ,"Islamic state" was actually created/funded back then by the CIA to overthrow Sadaam. That was what we did with the Taliban and Al-Qeada.

“Small groups from a number of al-Qaeda affiliates have defected to ISIS,â€
Oh my this is actually scary. I had heard al qaeda was not interested in isis because it was even more extreme. But I guess it isn't surprising some extreme extremists would defect. Sympathy from US bombing will only add to the numbers.

LOL. You guys crack me up. If you have a hornets nest in your back yard you call the exterminator and destroy it. You don't say "oh the poor hornets, look how mean we are to them. If we just let them be, they will leave us alone."
I'm sure glad Obama has more brains then you lot.

Yep, right away..
We are the exterminators.

Then why did he wait and let ISIS grow and expand over the last year instead of getting them early?
He is an idiot. That does not change the fact that he has more brains then you lot.

That's the great thing about Iraq I, Iraq II, and Iraq III. Iraq is NOT our backyard. NIMBY does not apply! I would never fly to Jersey and swat a hornet's nest in CiC's yard, even if it stimulated my personal economy.

The middle east is our back yard? How does that work? Why aren't we swatting hornets nests all the places that don't have oil? GIve it up, the US military only exists to protect corporate profits.

No,no,no going as in going in after the people who financed the 9/11 attackers and most of the terrorism in the last 30 years. The saudis.

So why did we attack 2 countries over 9/11? You can't have it both ways dude.
You dodged my question (as expected). Why isn't the worlds policeman going anywhere that doesn't have oil? North Korea and Pakistan are bigger threats than isis. One of them is an ally. The only thing american is a policeman for these days is multinationals, especially oil.

I believe part of the motivation for this weeks bombings is to help people who can't help themselves. You know that's what we do...think Rwanda for example.

We attacked 1 country over 9/11.
True, we attacked one country for no good reason other than it had the 2nd largest oil reserves in the world.

You overestimate the American War Machine. Its goals are profits not "victories"
Good thing, as Grenada (!?) was our last decisive "Victory".

We bomb the militants in Pakistan all the time. We have troops in Korea, Japan, and Germany. No oil in any of the 4 countries. Why we don't go after N. Korea? We should. We should also knock out Iran's nukes, but we have too much opposition and not enough support.

That's not why we attacked Iraq. At that time we were importing $10 billion worth of oil, while the cost of invading Iraq was expected to be $50 billion. No one in their right minds will spend $50 to steal $10. It's cheaper to just buy it.

Depends on who's paying the $50 vs. whose pocket the $10 goes in.
The deal with Iraq was that Saddam & Sons weren't going to let US or UK oil interests in the country once he got out of the sanctions box.
It was going to be French, Russian, Chinese etc. multinationals in our place.
Blair's being Bush's little poodle makes a little more sense now, yes?

Rearranging the geopolitical balance in China's backyard to our liking is no longer our call.
That was what 1950 was about (and 1965-75 for that matter).
Plus there's way too many people in the ROK way too close to the border to set off a shooting war there.
Not to mention people who join the US Army don't sign up for saving the world, actually.

Wrong again Bob...
I said a reason, not an excuse.

The war was supposed to be over in 2 weeks and cost very little. Even so the taxpayers pony up the 50 billion, the oil companies take the profit on 10 billion Not to mention the portion of the 50 billion that went to the war corporations. Why are you limiting the money to just what the US imports? What about the rest of the oil that would be sold once the US and British corporations took over production in Iraq?

You mean the oil companies would have to do real work to get paid. I don't see anything unfair in that. I don't like polluting oil companies, but let's be fair.

We have bankrupted ourselves in a war in Afghanistan (despite centuries of historical examples of other nations doing the same), are bogged down in an Iraqi quagmire and alienated most of the world with our response to 9/11. We are quite capable of making regrettable decisions.

So you are saying a 50 billion dollar war paid by taxpayers, 4000 american dead, and god only knows how many iraq dead to open up Iraq to BP and Exxon is a good deal? Especially since Iraq is so unstable BP and Exxon are going to be totally run out in the next 6 months anyway and the entire iraq war will have been a total waste. Nice, good thinking.
The best thing obummer could do at this point is buddy up to iran and let them wipe isis off the map, which they are ready and able to do. Keeping them from continuing on into isreal might be tough though.
Iraq is going to end up right where it was for 400 years under the ottoman empire before the brits came in 1918. Shia region, Sunni region, Kurdish region.
Why oh why do my leaders insist on playing with fire?!?!?
