And now what?

[Bushwack]

After the events of today. May the God bless and keep our troops in the palm of his hand. What pisses me off is that Potus said a year ago IS was the JV team. What a load of shit. Now we may suffer more casualties because he did not act when he knew better. WTF.

[rangerjd]

President Bush predicted this would happen if we did not leave some sort of contingent force behind. And we still don't have the gonads to go at them full throttle.

Please elaborate, lots of things happen every day that not all of us hear about right away.

To be fair, I would place more of the blame on Donald Rumsfeld than Bush himself.

I won't disagree with you. But Where was this all knowing Bush when Don fuckface was working his evil ways?

Not sure all-knowing and Bush belong in the same sentence - same goes for many of our past CiCs. Also not sure micro-management = evil. Wait, I work in Corporate America. Micro-management does in fact = evil.

I wouldn't blame this on Bush either. This was coming, one way or the other, and it has been heading this way since the mid-1970s. Start with the assassination of Sadat by the Muslim Brotherhood and continue forward. If folks think that a dictator like Saddam would have stopped ISIS, just look at Syria. That dictator is not exactly stopping shit. This was coming. Only those who do not study history are surprised.

Sorry for the late reply. I was off the grid for a few days. I meant that if Potus acted sooner the Isis situation may not have been this bad.

I think it may not have been exactly as it is now; but the uprising in the mid-east has been developing for many years. The impact of "Arab Spring" is ongoing. And I expect it to continue. I expect terrorist attacks here in the USA.

No sweat brother. And cams will do just fine, you're a Veteran yourself, no need for formalities.

Thanks for the update. It's definitely an interesting turn of events, one that I'm sure will be addressed violently at some point by the tip of the spear.

Will this Moslam radical hatred of the US ever end? No matter how many we kill or how painful we make it on them doesn't seem to deter the basterds. What's the solution? I hope smarter people than I wil figure a way to put an end to it.

What the hell. We can't kill them all. Not a bad idea but unrealistic.

When you start getting down to the root of it, this is generally a have-nots hating the haves situation. If you were to flood the source shit holes that these stone age fuckwits crawl out of with prosperity, none of them would be doing this. It is EXTREMELY easy to radicalize someone whose life situation ranks somewhere slightly above septic tank bacteria and below hood rat with an iPhone.

What makes my mind seize up are the ones at the other end of the wealth spectrum who get involved - usually the neglected offspring of whomever managed to amass the fortune in the first place. "Daddy didn't love me enough as a child so I will go to Shitholistan and join the goat fuckers for validation."

This: Truth that is also a serious WTF
