It's Time for ISIS Terrorists to See Allah Close Up!
"Evil succeeds when good people stand by and do nothing."
Obama has been consistently engaged in only reactive strategies, pin-prick attacks, as his overall military maneuver on a case by case basis. It's due to his fears of any additional military combat personnel involvement since it's contrary to his ongoing 'troop withdrawal diplomacy' stance. He apparently has no overall master plan for any ambitious or robust Military Decision Making Process (MDMP). However, his policy decisions have their consequences, deadly consequences, and his 'dithering decisions' have offered no relief whatsoever to the worldwide crises. The Islamic State, IS, terrorist barbarism is a glaring example.
The United States Obama foreign policy negotiations under Secretary of State
John Kerry have stumbled along behind closed doors in the middle East and in Russia. The 'blame game' of absolving the Obama foreign policy failures are still done by disparaging remarks of former U.S. President George W. Bush actions six years ago. Further blame for not gaining any substantive diplomatic concessions was because of the self-serving behavior of Russia President Vladimir Putin, Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Iran President Hassan Rouhani. Did Obama delude himself to think that his charming ego would turn those heads of state so much as to change their committed agendas?
Obama's 'veil of ignorance' is now worn thin and tattered, the wagging finger of blame points back onto himself. When will Obama now take responsibility to admit to everyone about his sorrowful performance? Although, I don't think Barack is capable of truthfully ever admitting it even to himself.
It's a fool's errand to attempt to do something that has no chance of success; so do you think that the United States military should ramp up troops to reenter battle fields in Iraq to fight the IS terrorists? In 2011 the U.S. troops withdrew and hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment was left behind for the Iraqi army like weapons, small arms, ammunition, mortars, Humvies, M1 Abrams tanks, howitzer field artillery and transport trucks of which the IS terrorists stole and exploited to take on battles and hold the territories. They are certainly now well-organized and well-equipped as an ad hoc volunteer militia that mimics a strong military force to fight for the Islamic State.
Isn't also foolish to think that the IS terrorists cannot be beaten either? They do appear to be a formidable standing army by virtue of their very sophisticated U.S. weaponry. But, that weaponry can be their achilles' heel too, the soft chink in their armor. So how? That sophisticated weaponry and vehicles absolutely require highly trained maintenance crews in that desert sand-filled environment. Those captured vehicles and equipment will eventually break down requiring needed maintenance, repairs and parts. More importantly, trained mechanics, diagnostic equipment and tools are mandatory assets in short supply.
The Islamic State's present successes are indisputable in the Iraqi and Syrian open deserts areas, but its vulnerability has not been U.S. combat tested there yet. Let's see how their 'crack crews' of Islamic jihadi 'rag-tag' IS terrorists do fending off high altitude U.S. F-18s dropping Jdam 'bunker-buster' bombs, Predator drones with Hell-fire missiles seeking out IS leaders along with Huey helicopters with fully loaded rocket launchers aimed on all of their ground troops, large scale weaponry and supply lines feeding them. Now this type of military strategy using air strikes without 'putting boots on the ground' can greatly assist the peoples of Iraq and Syria by decimating the stolen IS weaponry, ordinance cache and methodically thinning out their troops to even out the playing field to beat back the terrorist insurgents. It would then provide valuable current 'intel' into troop movements, insurgent terrorist numbers and for all the geographical battlefield placements. Ultimately, the war proven quality and professionalism of our U.S. Army Logistics Branch are far superior to any IS terrorists--'Always There Always Ready'.
