During WWII Americans bombed during the day in Germany and the British at night. Each Air Force would send 400-500 planes on a raid. Both forces would drop about 500 tons of ordnance a day on German targets. The Obama Air Force doesn't do that.and from what I HEAR on telly many of mrobamas pinprick bombings don't happen because the planes don't actually bomb . They hold their payload and return to base because they don't receive the order to bomb for one reason or the other . Course , once again , its the 'cic' and his poor 'roe' .
.That's an idiotic premise, Carbineer! ISIS can't attack everywhere at the same time but the West is obviously their primary target at the moment. Will they be satisfied defeating the West and let the rest of the world alone? That's highly doubtful since they've been very forthcoming about what their intentions are. They want to rid the world of "non-believers". So that means if they are successful against the West then they will indeed eventually go after the Chinese...the Brazilians...and the South Americans! Russia is already dealing with Islamic terrorists.
This isn't a problem that will go away if you ignore it. I'm sorry but these AREN'T those kind of people!
You are not very good at pretending, Oldstyle. Give it a rest.
.
I'm "pretending" that Al Queda and ISIS won't be satisfied until they rid the world of "non-believers"?Dude, it's not like they're keeping their intentions SECRET!
Oh...man....Oldstyle is really Dick Cheney....who could have ever guessed?
You sure had us fooled.
.
Well, it looks like someone is out to give R-Derp a run for his money for dumbest post of the day!
Is this a three way race?
.
I am not interested in what people thing CAN be done but what you actually think IS being done.!00 warheads on target can be done in one day easy.Or other terrorist threats overseas, at least according to many posters here seem to believe. Then there is the praise that Obama receives from the left because he is not a warmonger and we are not at ‘war’ – the thread commending Obama on this pushed me over the edge.
I have to wonder – how many bombs do the posters think are dropped by our military forces? How long do you think it takes to drop, say, 100 warheads on targets throughout the Middle East?
A day? A week? A month? A year?
I am genuinely interested in what the posters here believe actually goes on in our overseas military operations on both sides of the isle.
Finally, do you believe the media reports accurate information about the AOR or reports a significant amount of the targets we hit?
The press lies to help the ones that control them.
Didn't bother to read the OP did you? Just spouted nonsense based off the title."Obama does nothing against ISIS…"
This is a lie.
The president is doing exactly what is needed to be done, most importantly, not sending conventional American ground forces to needlessly die in the consequence of GWB's failed, illegal war.
Moreover, it is not the president's 'responsibility' to 'do something' about the self-proclaimed 'Islamic state,' that responsibility belongs to Iraq. If Iraq has any hope of becoming a stable, secure country, the people of Iraq must defend their country themselves.
Is that what you want done?During WWII Americans bombed during the day in Germany and the British at night. Each Air Force would send 400-500 planes on a raid.

Because, like all terrorists, they operate within and around civilians - civilians that far outnumber them.if asking ME , carpet bombing would not be needed if mrobama would let commanders decide the best strategy and then actually go after 'isis' . Course as a general thought I have no problem with carpet bombing of 'isis' . I understand that 'isis' was ought doing a victory parade after their 'ramadi' win , why not carpet bomb them Faq ??
We cant afford not to. A strong prosperous secure ISIS will not stop there. They have already announced that. They will continue expanding until they re-establish the Caliphate. Time to strangle them in the cradle.I'be yet to see any analysis of what's going on in Iraq that would give a clear path to achieve an outcome that would be in our national interests.
The default path seems to be military intervention. We can't afford it.
Not at all. We were discussing the meager little bombing raids Obamas Air Force carries out.Is that what you want done?During WWII Americans bombed during the day in Germany and the British at night.

carpet bombing?
We see how well that approach worked on 9/11.thing is that these lib , progs think that they have the ocean to protect them . Course missiles aren't bothered by oceans and neither are the enemies that immigrate or sneak into the USA .
And you think that WWII is a reasonable comparison to our current conflicts?we used it in Germany and japan , won the wars pretty handily and now both countries are stable and productive . Lots of german and Japanese civ casualties at that time . Still , as I said , wouldn't be need for carpet bombing if we just got the appropriate number of soldiers on the ground and let them kill the enemy Faq .
If you do not advocate for carpet bombing then what is the appropriate level of bombing? How often should we be bombing them and how much ordinance do you think would be appropriate?Not at all.

Hardly pinpricks compared to WWII tactics.

think they should be bombed all the time that there is any opportunity . Observers on the ground should be spotters . There will be casualties on the ground if bombing is down correctly !! As far as amount of ordnance , I'd say ' HUGE ' tons of ordnance FAQ . Arm the 'Kurds' who the USA knows is willing to fight ferociously but they have little in the way of weapons .

Then, how much ordinance do you think we are actually dropping. You claim the air raids are 'meager' then that should mean you have a rough idea of what those air raids actually are.
