The War in Syria is Over so Naturally Biden Attacks
Timothy Birdnow
Biden has to go out with a bang, literally, as he has U.S. aircraft striking targets inside of war-torn Syria ostensibly to fight ISIS but probably just because it's been a while since he's ordered an airstrike and wanted to look tough.
FTA:
""The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria,” the news release said.
The release said B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s were used in the attacks.
The release there was no indication that civilians were killed in the attacks.
"There should be no doubt — we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said in the release. "All organizations in Syria should know that we will hold them accountable if they partner with or support ISIS in any way.”
end
Question; if we knew where these people were in the first place why didn't we strike before now? I mean, we waited until there was a clear power vacuum before moving, when we should have been going after ISIS before this. Either they posed a clear and present danger to us or they didn't.
Would they tell us if any civilians were killed? How would they even know?
No, I suspect this is a signal to other powers - notably Iran and Turkey and Russia - to stay away and let this play out on it's own.
Prudent perhaps but I hate the way Biden lies to us - and I also think we should stay out of it. Biden's attacks could actually escalate foreign involvement. Joe has been wrong on every single foreign policy issue throughout his life.
Biden has always been like the schoolyard bully's toadie; he acts tough but has no real courage and takes a free shot when opportunity presents. This is exactly his style.

As you -- and Robert Gates -- has said, Biden has been wrong on every foreign policy decision he has made in the last forty [probably sixty now] years. He's a typical liberal who cannot learn from his mistakes.

Well, Dana, in order to learn from mistakes one must first recognize that they were, in fact, mistakes.

Agreed Dana. Ideology trumps reality every time with people like that.
Bill, you are right; in his mind the mistakes were other people's. He would love to still have the Soviet Union hovering over us. He opposed Reagan then and he probably still thinks the wrong side won.
