Another mole on DU asks the obvious question barry doesn't want to answer.

We are putting targets on the ground, the targeting of which may "force" us to redeploy more troops to the region.

3. I'm glad you stated that as "WHEN" not "IF" It's going to happen. I have no doubt. All we're doing is putting more people on the ground as targets.

Even the DUmpmonkiez know it's a bad idea.

7. The thing is

is that these guys know all about it. The SF guys who went in for Desert Shield, joked about being "Saddam's Riyadh Speed Bumps".

It's all part of the risk that those who volunteer for Special Ops know, understand, and accept. Doesn't make it any easier, but it has been traditional since the first Special Forces group was established in 1952.

"Since their establishment in 1952, Special Forces soldiers have operated in Vietnam, El Salvador, Panama, Haiti, Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, and, in an FID role, Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa, which was transferred to United States Africa Command in 2008"

All nasty, ugly, war-torn places where the lifespan of a "military adviser" is short. So what else is new?

Too obvious mole explains military to DUmp and thus outs self. Nice touch using wiki though.

He IS the pRESident, is he not?

[landofconfusion80]

He IS the pRESident, is he not?

On occasion. When he's not playing the links or on vacation or at a fundraiser. There's only so much time in a day.

Only when there's something positive he can take credit for.  Then he's just finding out on the news, or it's Congress' fault, or it's the mess he inherited from the previous administration.

Because he owns ALL this bullshit, DUmbass.

Now this idiot wants to spend 500 million of our tax dollars on lunatics murdering their way through Iraq, killing men, women, and children, and who told us "See you in New York". What in the hell would you call that, in legal terms? He owns Egypt, he own Libya, he owns Syria, and he owns Iraq. The jackass has been a ****ing failure at every.****ing.thing.he's.done! And if it's not failure due to incompetence, damnit, it's failure by design. There are NO other options. NO one can **** up this much due to incompetence. Eventually someone will step back, reassess their decision-making, and change course and, more than likely, hire better advisers. Not this clown. His intent is to cause havoc every damn where he goes. If I were one of those military advisers, I would seriously contemplate telling the CinC to go **** himself and resign, if an officer, refuse if I were enlisted.

Obama seeks $500 million from Congress to help moderate Syrian rebels

"Syrian rebels fighting Assad are a disparate array of groups including the radical Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS aka ISIL), which seized parts of northern and western Iraq in an offensive this month; Nusra Front, which is affiliated to al Qaeda; and moderate, non-ideological factions such as the Supreme Military Command."

You forgot to add when he is not watching soccer or releasing high level terrorists.

Or watching Madmen.

This guy knows more about Madmen, Breaking Bad and House of Cards than what is going on in his own administration.

When you have someone like Bill Ayers telling you what to do relieving you of having to think, you have plenty of time to play basketball, golf, video games, take vacations, fund raise, etc......it's wonderful to be the king.

[DLR Pyro]

He IS the pRESident, is he not?

he's a PINO.  President in name only

[JohnnyReb]

A Feel-a-PINO.

PINO: singular for pee-nies.

[USA4ME]

Blame Bush, obviously.

Bush is Hitler, you know.

Bush was Hitler before Hitler was Hitler.

The First Wookie will start another internet campaign, "#leaveouradvisorsalone".

[BlueStateSaint]

I had "Blame Bush, wait four days, teh JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!"

[Airwolf]

Well what did they expect? They ordered this shit sandwich of a President and they need to take a big heaping bite out of it and deal with it because we all do.

[JohnnyReb]

They're building a giant sandbox out behind the white house so Obama can draw lines in it.

Barry will blame it on a youtube video.

[diesel driver]

Barry will blame it on a youtube video.

And apologize for it 3 days in advance. 

[RayRaytheSBS]

Blame it on Bush. Even though he has been out of office for five years. He MIHOP or LIHOP depending upon which cocktail of drugs they're on that day.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I can't pick just three of those...this poll needs an "All of the above" option.
