  1. That is the optimistic position. A more realistic position (i.e. mine) is that Obama will use his
    autorisation to help the “good” Syrian rebels to fund ISIS. At best, even if the dim bulbs of
    the US State Dept and the CIA succeed in finding some “good” rebels, they are still objectively
    fighting on the same side as ISIS, at least part of the time. But arming and equipping ISIS in
    this underhanded way is such a juicy betrayal of the country he hates that Obama will have
    difficulty in restraining himself.
    Meanwhile, an administration that does very little quickly already has troops in Liberia. From
    Obama’s perspective this is very nice. He is seen doing something, while optimizing the
    chances of infecting some troops, and withe the possibility of a real payoff, in bringing
    EBV back to North America.

  2. Morale in the American military must be very low. I keep finding comments from people connected to our military that sound like this one:
    HB • 12 hours ago
    I come from a military family where we all have served at some level. My father, myself and my 3 brothers have 70+ years of accumulated experince in the military. I have a nephew who just ended his time in the Marines after one enlistment. My youngest brother is a LtCol who will be retiring next year. No one in my family would recommend the military for anyone these days. I hear too many stories about the piss poor leadership at the senior levels and up the chain of command all the way to the White House. Fighting for a country that uses it military for political gain is unseemly and insulting to those who volunteer. It’s a sad state of affairs that has brought this on the armed services. Maybe the next occupant in the WH will make some positive changes but that remains to be seen. Let the chidren of the ruling class start doing the heavy lifting on the battlefields and in the supporting roles for our fighters.
    Semper F

  3. A don’t believe a thing that any journalist has to say about anything, especially from the New York Times.
    Besides that, haven’t the americans created enough murder and mayhem in this world.

    “Maybe voters might forget his golf-playing.”
    Yea maybe, but I’m thinking that the “golf playing” is in itself deception, as is anything else this clown is.

  5. I don’t know Blamer but I do know that Putin’s boys managed to kill two hundred & fifty odd innocents in a ground to air missile attack on a civilian airliner over Ukraine.
    Want me to go on?
    As for journalists telling just the truthful facts…not so much.

  6. News is that the French Air Force nailed an ISIS logistics site (fuel and ammo dumps)….bet that hurt.

  7. Reliable sources report curious 30 mm holes in the remains of the flightdeck wreckage….explain that.

  8. Who’da thunk the French would be the pointmen of any military op! Well, a no-brainer if you consider the Keystone Koppish response to date!
    Time for the US military brass to exert their influence in the DOD/Whitehouse and rescue a do-nothing, spiralling-out-of- control policy before it’s too late! Sit back, watch the decline. ….If only we’d done something sooner!

  9. I have to ask, who or what is a reliable source in that area right now?
    As for cannon fire.. its just as easy to shoot up the remnants as claim a fighter jet took it down.
    A very easy and almost predicable ploy.
    The fighter jet theory is even less credible than the original claim of Mistake with a fancy surface to air system.
    What would motivate a Ukrainian pilot to shoot down an airliner?

  10. Oh no.
    He really is that lazy.
    He is a vulgar narcissist. He sees no need to do any actual governance but does please himself with perks, ect, rather like an African dictator.
    That his games coincide with the crises in the Middle East, well…

  11. Source was Canadian X-military international investigator on the scene right off the hop. The holes appeared to have been made prior to impact.
    Unlikely as it seems…it moves away from a SAM hit to just about anybody’s MiG….
