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.
