The leadership team that is in place right now has certainly enabled us to succeed

I believe you err. ISIS filled the spaces left when Barack Hussein O pulled us out of the theater. As for your other comments about war. . .well, you hold opinions with poor foundations.

Thats the propaganda . But if that were true where was all our intel and presence left in the region while ISIS rose? Out to lunch?

I am not going to post previous comments because it is a waste of my time. If there is any technical discussion of foreign policy, you are lost.

I try to keep it simple for you, but it isn't easy.

I do post previous comments for the exact purpose of highlighting your boned analysis, Peter. We both know how wrong you were and thus both find your disingenuous boasting about predictions humorous. I had told you this would come back and bite you. And it has.

Excuse me. I myself posted the intel to you with specifics and you labeled it boogie man language and accused the government of lying.

Any strategy for truly defeating the Islamic State needs to incorporate plans for clearing and holding large areas currently under it's control. -Ransom September 2015

That would take 100,000+ ground troops. I have heard nobody propose that. I hear 10,000 or 25,000. - Peter1469 September 2015

Remember that one Pete.......that it would require 100,000 American troops to clear ISIS out?

Oops.

Come up with new material.

Context.

The point was to have the locals do the hard fighting. Not the neocon way.

Recall that my past posts were responding to the "strategy" of the US destroying ISIL. That would have required massive numbers of troops.

We let the Arabs destroy ISIL with our help instead.

The organization you termed a 'sideshow' while Obama called them the jayvee team would take 100,000 American troops to defeat was your boned argument and just another example where I was forced to prove you wrong.

Exactly. When suggestions were made for 25,000 troops you made the claim that that was "not serious if your end game is the destruction of the Islamic State."

I'm gonna add some more here soon.......you'll be running off any moment now, you always do. Can't say as I blame you, I've never boned an analysis this badly. You weren't close.

But I don't control the government do I? Also it's hard to tell when their doom and gloom is real since they run around like chicken little over blowing virtually every threat on the planet to control the subjects, like you. If this was so real and they knew why did they do so little? By design perhaps? Look at all the places afully developed ISIS has allowed us to $#@! with? Hummm

You simply don't understand the topic. You are a neocon, I am not.

I called the fate of the Islamic State the day after it was declared. You did not.
