The media and the admin has done a marvelous job selling this newest extension to our endless wars……why do I say this?
A new NBC poll shows that 41% of Americans are okay using US troops in this war with ISIS…..will the admin ramp up their case making machine and in the end…..we will be back ass deep in sand.
Personally, I think it is a bad idea……but that is just my thought….but there are arguments against this action…..

I would be alright with such an action if I believed for a minute it would accomplish the objective or stamping out the plague. But — given the history of the region, I trow not.
John, we have never understood the Middle East and that makes for a lousy foreign policy…….I have had some thoughts about military service and am working on a post for a little later…..will let you know……
Thank you — having been in the Military rendering 7 years and three months of what some right wing bloggers have described as “minimal and insignificant and unremarkable service” I look forward to seeing that you plan to publish.
It probably will not make too many happy but it is something we need to consider as long as we must fight continuous wars…..
Geez, Chuq — haven’t you heard? War is profitable and affords the “Job Creators” an opportunity to shine — think of all the more or less temporary good-paying jobs they can fill as more and more casualties mount and replacements are needed — and think of the boost to the flag and banner industry!
So very true….”war is good business, invest your children”……
and now we know why they are so hot on the abortion issue, don’t we? They need the troops!
It is a thought….LOL
