Obama's quagmire

They can't call it "war" because they'd be forced to go through Congress. And after all the fuss and blather (finger-pointing) about Bush and his war, to go to war without congressional approval would doom the democrat party for two or three election cycles.
The least they can do is get their stories straight. Obama never said we're going to war against ISIS/ISIL, then Lurch put the final stamp on it. But then, Obama's 15 minute diatribe sure sounded like a war speech. How can these people think we're not at war? They say ISIS/ISIL isn't a state and we can't be at war if the opponent isn't a state. The only thing ISIS/ISIL lacks are borders, for now. Drugs aren't a state, and neither is poverty. But we've dumped more money in those "wars" than we'll ever dump in this one. Lurch was right in one respect - words do mean things (he took a cue from Limbaugh). Boehner is correct as well when he says, "An F-15 is not a strategy. Someones boots are going to have to be on the ground." He ain't talkin' about Iraq, he's talkin' about Syria.
We're in deep Kimchi because of the dithering on the part of this administration while these wackjobs gained steam. Now we're faced with some very distasteful choices. Assad has warned us against bombing targets in Syria, and Obama wants to make sure our pilots will be successful. How in the name of all that is holy does he expect to do that? Obama is screwed, and so are we.
Russia and China are separate discussions, as are the cuts in defense and moth-balling of the Warthog.
