I said a long time ago that a divisional size force with it's support should smack ISIS right in the mouth hard. I think ISIS would have folded right there. But ROE, PR concerns, and ill discipline of so called "allies" slowed everything down to the point of a joke and I worry if the time has passed for what I urged.<br />It has got to the point that someone has to win something or as WNU writes this will drag on for years. Of course the Swiss will make tons of money renting out all their municipalities for the interminable "peace conferences", but they would be the only ones making an honest living out of this mess.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-59625899188994279292017-02-22T14:30:44.699-05:002017-02-22T14:30:44.699-05:00I would guess a US force between a brigade/divisio...I would guess a US force between a brigade/division to help the kurds roll up ISIS in Raquaa and E-Syria. I don't think they will stay nor operate as a pacification force. It will be ole school punitive enough to break the ISIS massed resistance, leaving the pockets to the locals. <br /><br />We are good at killing breaking stuff its all the stuff that comes afterwards that we cannot do. Leave all the later part to the locals they are not restricted by imaginary PC limits to doing what is required and let the GCC pay for the repair/development.<br /><br />C-Lowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03513349747672785097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-76343215390635566912017-02-22T10:50:43.708-05:002017-02-22T10:50:43.708-05:00To be really fair, it has to be said that no one h...To be really fair, it has to be said that no one has actually been able to or willing to define the conflict.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642228725661059539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8519488391496270073.post-36300502836579098132017-02-22T10:49:11.678-05:002017-02-22T10:49:11.678-05:00No one, no one has articulated any type of clear p...No one, no one has articulated any type of clear post conflict objective with an accompanying framework to guide it's accomplishment.
