The problem with the "war on terror" is that was never the actual objective. Why would anyone be surprised that something that was not the goal didn't happen?

That sums things up. There was no exit plan, and no after exit plan.

The War in Syria resulted from the so-called Arab Spring...not the so-called War on Terror. The current War in Iraq spilled over from Syria.

These folks are quite capable of pulling triggers w/o our assistance.

So the failed war on terror in Iraq spilled over into Syria but is only a result of the Arab Spring? Ha.

As predicted, mostly by lefties, 15 years ago.

The only reason the war on terror has failed is because of conservatives, the stupidest people in the known universe.

The current fail is because Obama has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Now foreign leaders openly dis Barry, even the tiny little Philippines is not afraid of what Barry might do. Because everybody knows he'll do nothing after he threatened Syria and then backed down, and more recently gave huge money to Iran for hostages. The sooner this shmuck leaves, the better.

What makes you think things will be better after Obama? Did they get better after Bush?

Calais is only a problem because of a spineless, left wing French government. Put me in charge and the problem will go away, I assure you - far away - as in back to north Africa.

We don't see it here, though, which is the main point.

Are you sure you are not a Trump supporter?

But let's also keep the WoT going. IT's been working great so far! No consequences at all. Wait.

The war on terror was a big joke played on we the sheeple by the globalist elite who have made billions from trying to scare the chit out of we the sheeple. There was never a real threat from anyone except the globalist elite warmongers. One zionist, name forgotten, made hundreds of millions of dollars from the government by selling his see me naked scanners too American airports. The sheeple never seem to learn that when the government goes ape crap over something, and then gets the media to push it day and night, that is when the sheeple need to wake up, and get suspicious.

It's all just a joke folks, and you are the ones that the joke is being played on. The best thing anyone can do for themselves is to stop listening to the main scream media and try listening to the alternative media for a change. You may just learn something for a change. The globalist elite want you to know as little as possible. After all, how will they make their billions if you don't believe their crap anymore. The war on terror is one big joke. Enjoy.

If Trump wasn't crazy I could support him. Unfortunately...

There's nothing wrong with deporting illegal aliens. The problem in the US is many have been there for years and years and set themselves up, had families and established themselves there. They're also an integral part of the economy.

The migrants who keep flooding into Europe can and should simply be put on boats and sent home. That's the only way they're going to stop coming.

That would make sense if the Paris attackers were not French born citizens.

And to edit, how is the revolving door with on the US Mexico border? No matter how many you send back, they keep coming, and that's been going on for decades. Deporting them wont solve it, preventing them from getting there in the first place would help much more. Also if we stopped funding terrorism under the guise of 'rebel support' (in America they'd be called traitors!) then we could also make some progress. But even after 5-6 years of trying to oust Assad .. no luck yet!

The 'war on terror' is so complicated, the US 'forgets' who it's fighting against?

Or ... not? ... WTF are they doing?

https://www.rt.com/news/360656-us-isis-talks-proof/

US airstrikes on Syrian troops were intentional, lasted nearly 1 hour Assad to AP

"The Syrian government puts all the responsibility for the aggression on the US, as the facts show that it was a deliberate attack, but not a mistake even if America says the opposite, Muallem said, adding that the bombing proves that the US and its allies are accomplices of Islamic State and other terror groups.

Then they can apply for citizenship. If not, pack yer bags! There is a way to legally get into a specific nation, if you do not want to go through that process, then you do not want to be in that country that bad.

And the only way to stop them is to catch them and send them back. Or build a wall. If the wall is such a crazy idea, someone should tell that to the Chinese and Israel.

Ceasefire?? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/09/28/obama-expected-to-extend-airstrikes-against-isis-in-libya-another-month.html


President Obama is expected to extend the bombing campaign against ISIS in Libya for a second time, three U.S. military officials with knowledge of the request told Fox News.

The decision authorizes the U.S. military to launch a third month of airstrikes against ISIS in the Libyan coastal city of Sirte. Airstrikes began Aug. 1 following a request from the Uited Nations-backed government in Tripoli. At the time, the Pentagon said the Libya mission would likely last “weeks, not months.”

Weeks? Months? How about years!

That seems true.

Only because our militaries fight with one hand firmly lashed behind them.

War is simply politics by other means. Getting mired in endless partisan conflicts isn't politics.

We stopped following Von Clausewitz, as near as I can tell, 'round about Douglas MacArthur and Curtis LeMay. Leaving us with few options except yelling at the children to stop fighting (peace keeping).*

"There are no innocent civilians. It is their government and you are fighting a people, you are not trying to fight an armed force anymore. So it doesn't bother me so much to be killing the so-called innocent bystanders."

--- LeMay

-----------

*They were going to play hardball with what was at their disposal and it made Truman VERY nervous. And rightly so seeing it was after 1949 but before 1964 when MacArthur wanted to use nukes to curb Red China (Korean War). Who knows what the Kremlin would have thought? They had a limited number of atomic weapons...but no way to deliver them. This was pre-Sino-Soviet rift...a mystery best not discovered.

...and to expand.

Viet-Nam is a good example of why the War on...heh....Terrrrrror won't work.

Here's a pretty simple conflict, really. The North wants the South and is sending troops down the Trail to invade.

(Wring hands)...what to do...what to do.....???

Anything and everything except actually stop the North from sending troops down the Trail to invade the South.

10,000 days of this BS pass....result: nil + a few million South Vietnamese Boat People and a Holocaust in Cambodia.

The only reason you think they fight with one hand tied behind their back is because they willingly do it. Otherwise, Afgthanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria .. ect ...

I don't need to explain anything to you, knowing the tactic of playing dumb works for you.

I can assure you, the USA has enough military ALONE to exercise Von Clausewitz's axiom on ANY nation on Earth if folks like LeMay get their way and end it in a weekend rather than a generation.

So, as I mentioned already and you rejected, the West is left yelling at the children to stop fighting.

But, that's apparently 100% BS.

So why?
