Like he said, there's far too many conflicts and we can't get involved in all of them - we have to be careful and intervene only when necessary. The decision of, whether it's actually necessary or not, well that's where the hair-splitting comes in. But at this time and in this instance, I support the decision made.

Far less about that stuff and more about him looking like a fool. To late for that really but it may keep one check off of him.

How long will the U.S. bomb ISIS for the bombing to be effective enough to disrupt their expansion? A few bombs and a few of them dead won´t solve anything in the long-run.

Now....arming the Pashmerga could be a better long term effort, but, as we´ve seen before, arming people usually backfires on the U.S.

Depends. Exactly what type of bombs are we talking? I know a few that could end the issue altogether.

The problem is being pc. Being pc has taught people you dont have to be scared because someone wont take that extra step and we let them pass that bullshit into the military. This is where israel has done it right to a degree but not gone far enough. What i mean by that is you take a finger we take an arm mentality. In most cases it works just fine but what we have here is the same as israel. You cant take just the arm or the head. You have to go all out or your wasting your time. Dropping a few bombs here and there wont do shit but give Obama another talking point on tv.
