Unfortunately, imposing tactical defeat does not equal strategic victory. Our government -is- filled to the brim with thieves, surely you don't dispute this?
You're accusing your eyes of blindness. And accusing your government to be a thieve.
Quote:And under the bombing, of the international alliance, ISIS is still capable of carrying out attacks in western capitals?All the bombing you've seen is the tip of the spear. If we'd delivered the full weight there'd be nothing left but dust. You don't understand ROE and target selection, or the nature of asymetric warfare. Imagine that our military is a rabid dog...now understand that we muzzle that dog. Muzzling that dog has benefits, but it's exploitable. In any case, no amount of bombing "over there" stops terror attacks "here"....how could it? If we reduce a building in Syria or Iraq to ash, how does that effect the people building a bomb in some other county?
In any case, boogeymen aren't real Atlas, not even the Israeli kind. Islams problems are it's own....we actually can't do anything about that. Neither can islam, until it's willing to own them. Be the solution buddy. You've got this covered.
