Illegal war or not doing enough?!

[Timmy]

There's a paradox I hear all the time from righties . There's all kinds of threads about Obamas lack of response to ISIS , that air supports is not enough (aka send in the troops )

At the same time the righties will complain about Obamas "illegal war".

Well which is it ? If it's an illegal war , how can you complian he's not doing enough . Right wingers should be demanding he stop bombing ISIS immediately !

 

[SassyIrishLass]

What?

 

[Timmy]

What?

Shouldn't Obama stop all action vs ISIS until congress declares war? I'm sure they will get right on it !

 

[TNHarley]

Some argue that bushs declaration makes the war against IS legal.
I also believe that is why obamas got turned down on his own. Because the last one was so shitty and too general.
IMO, we either do it right or get the hell out. GRANTED, I would rather us get out. This whole thing is nothing but greed. From all sides.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

He may as well, what he is doing isn't worth a shit

 

[Timmy]

How long have we been bombing, anyway?

And I've always wondered , how do you "undeclare war"? Old school wars had one side surrender and there's a Tready . But that won't apply in a general "war on terror ".

He is just playing people. Look at everything else going on over there.
Im starting to wonder if Russia is, too.
IDK, its hard to hear credible info about what is going on over there.. Its all politics

 

[SassyIrishLass]

The war on terror is perpetual, it never ends. Obama is playing whack a mole while he should be playing wipe the slate. It won' change until we get some leadership in the WH

So which is sassy ?

That's Obama's argument.

Obama has asked the GOP to approve an AUMF against ISIS for over a year now. They have hidden their heads in the sand instead.

I also believe that is why obamas got turned down on his own. Because the last one was so shitty and too general.

Obama's AUMF against ISIS that he has been asking for is much longer than the one given to Bush.

Which is what? You're not going to defeat ISIS w/o boots on the ground. You want to beat them? Unleash the US military, have Obungles step out of the way and let the military handle it. ISIS will cease to exist in less than a year

"Leadership ". Is code for an invading /occupying force .

Obama is brave enough to avoid that bullshit . Apparently someone learned from (recent) history .

He's a ***** trying to save his "legacy"....nothing more and nothing less

What's so brave about sending other peoples kids to get killed over a fight that is not our fight ?

I don't think they want that to happen.

 

[g5000]

"Boots on the ground" against ISIS means a ten year occupation, minimum.

I'd like to hear the rubes specifically say they want Obama to commit the next two or three Presidents to such an occupation.

You won't hear them say it. They talk a lot of bullshit about "boots on the ground" but won't commit to what it actually means.

Of course they don't and it won't as long as Obama is in the WH.

President Obama sent Congress a draft AUMF in February, but it has since stalled due to opposition from Democrats who fear the request is too open-ended

 

[g5000]

So say it, rubes. Instead of parroting some bullshit "boots on the ground" phrase, say it.

Say you want our troops to occupy Syria and Iraq through the next two or three Presidents.

And don't think you can dodge by saying Arab troops ought to do it. They won't. Saudi Arabia's priority is Yemen, not ISIS in Syria.

So say it. Say you want American troops in Syria and Iraq for the next ten year at least.

Or shut the **** up.
