There's no surprise at all... I stated that 400 Surface Fired Missiles would be used to destroy US Forces somewhere in the ME... Although I felt that such would be at the end of the Afghanistan draw down.
But in fairness... that was within a few days of Benghazi, many months before we had enough information to know that the weapons at the core of that treason were being used to equip what has since come to be known as "ISIS".
Now, with a small contingent of Airborn, lightly armed and wholly dependent upon air cover... it appears that we're about to see the plan come together.
You appear to be retired Army... so tell me what you think of sending in such a small force to set against a well funded, highly capable, widely spread force?
Do you use pom poms and wear a nifty uniform when you cheer for Daesh? Also, to you have any awareness of the type of weapon you are discussing? Do you know anything about the energy source of the weapon? Do you even know were Daesh is alleged to have gotten them? You may be celebrating the shoot down of US aircraft a bit early.
Your concession is duly noted and summarily accepted.
(Ya can't hide the idiots folks, they simply will not allow it.)
I am attempting to ascertain whether you know what you are talking about, or not. Your response indicates you do not know anything about the weapons you are discussing.
LOL! Sheeeaaait... you're attempting to paint me as a supporter of that which I come to oppose.
But, in fairness, as pitiful as it is, ya do so only because ya have no potential alternative.
Look, this is real simple stuff.
Your Peasantpimp formed ISIS... he's funded them, trained them and armed 'em. He did so for a reason and it has DICK to do with freeing Egypt or Syria. He did it to Attack the US. And he used them to attack the US, at the Benghazi Mission.
Part and Parcel of that was his providing them 400 Shoulder Fired Surface to Air Missiles... along with enormous supplies of small arms and other logistical support.
Now those things are perfect for many things, as long as those things are oriented around shooting down aircraft.
So the equation then becomes, what would be the most effective thing that can be done to injure the US?
Now, we know that the attack on Benghazi was kidnap Stevens and use him as a hostage, as a means to get back the heaviest Islamic Hitters in US Custody... 'the blink sheik' etc.
That was squashed when Stevens succumbed to the fire... So now, what do they need most? An assload of American Hostages, and hostages of the 'can't not trade for variety' and nothing will get there faster than isolating 1000 US Airborne troops.
Presto-whammo... The Blind Sheik is freed... along with whatever other islamic douche-bag (Pardon the redundancy) that we have sitting in an air conditioned cell, with cable TV and all the Muslim tripe ya can eat.
PLUS, there's the added bonus of the US being humiliated.
Now... maybe that's not the plan. I'm just looking at the players and the cards they have and telling ya how I see it.
I know for a dam' fact that 1000 airborne troops is grossly insufficient to do anything, in terms of removing ISIS from Iraq, which the last I heard has 20 - 30 times those forces and is presently enjoying the use of US Military equipment cached around Iraq.
So... given their strategic prowess, my guess is that it won't be long before we're all sitting around our televisions listening to the Peasantpimp explain his OUTRAGE over whatever it is that he will be moving to avoid responsibility for, which at the end of the day, has injured the United States... and naturally, resulted in the deaths of US Servicemen.
