As Barry-the-bumbler is learning in Iraq and Syria, probably to his chagrin, unless you buy the dubious notion that he wants the Islamists to win. Result: the fighter-bombers bomb and the ISIS infantry takes a Kurdish town and threatens Baghdad.
You can come pretty close to winning, however, as the Israelis did recently against Hamas, if you have enough troops on the ground to pick your targets for you.
Even the Iraqis want American ground troops back now, having stupidly pushed them out just five months ago. We could let them stew, of course, longer than Barry boy will do until the election’s over. But we’ll go back eventually.
That was a given, even back in June. It just happened faster than envisioned.
