Wormtongue’s attempt to whip ISIS with airstrikes is doomed to failure. Even World War II couldn’t be won from the air—except in Japan with nukes, which presumably even the mendacious Democrats aren’t craven enough to employ in Syria-Iraq.
So the ground troops the Progressives are avoiding sending back to Iraq (at least until after the November elections) are going to have to go back eventually. If ISIS only chose to burrow into urban areas (like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Beruit) they could live through bombardment to fight another day.
Let’s just hope that, while we’re waiting for the tanks and troops to be sent back to the Iraq they should never have left in the first place, ISIS doesn’t acquire the weaponry to start shooting down our fighter-bombers and beheading a captured pilot or two.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, in Britland, the delusion goes on: “Cameron described ISIS as ‘monsters’ and not Muslims because Islam is a religion of peace…” Oh, right. Sure doesn’t look that way in northern Syria just over the Iraqi border.
MORE: Meanwhile, ISIS seems to be using chemical weapons in Iraq—you know, some of those WMDs that weren’t there.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Pretty prophetic Dick. Fox just broke this
“AMERICA’S TOP MILITARY LEADER, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, tells Congress he will recommend the use of ‘US military ground forces’ if the international coalition to fight the Islamic State proves ineffective — though President Obama last week vowed he wouldn’t ‘get dragged into another ground war in Iraq.”
The military knows better, but of course Obozo calls the shots. So time will tell.
Ah the brainiacs in DC. Okay, we start bombing and out come the dead kids and women pictures Pallywood style, then what?
I think Pallywood only works with Israel. I seem to remember we killed a lot of civilians with our drones in Afghanistan, but the protests were muted. No Jews were involved. Easy peasy.
I don’t know. Afghanistan was a little out of the way for the press and ISIS seems to be pretty media saavy. A Pallywood campaign wouldn’t necessarily have us as the main target, but instead our allies and the world at large. I could see a future of us with Great Britain as our sole significant ally. I wonder if Cameron will send Churchill’s bust back to Obama?
