"War is the wrong terminology."
- Secretary of State John 'Swiftboat' Kerry trying to claim that America is NOT at war with ISIS
WAR...guess Kerry just does NOT know what constitutes war...or just
does NOT want to accept the fact that once again America is at war...this
time being dragged into war by a president who fears declaring war for political reasons alone and who has NO idea or desire
to fight a war so that America wins.
And Kerry's cluelessness as to what
is war could easily be solved if he went to a dictionary and looked it
up for if he did he'd find that war is simply any conflict carried on by
force of arms between nations or between parties within a nation
whether it be by land, sea, or air...as in a state or period of armed
hostility or active military operations. And war...albeit a very limited
and targeted war...is exactly what Barack HUSSEIN Obama initiated when
he ordered the first bomb to be dropped on ISIS. (article continues below video)
And with John 'Swiftboat' Kerry obviously clueless...deliberately
clueless perhaps... as to what makes certain actions...even limited actions...a
war...he just does NOT get that even Obama's ’NO strategy' strategy is
indeed an act of war...a misguided war but a war nevertheless...a war
maybe NOT against a country per se but a war against an enemy within a country
just the same.
“What we are doing is engaging in a very significant
counter-terrorism operation, and it's going to go on for some period of
time." While Kerry might be right to some degree about the fact that
this conflict will indeed be going on for quite some time...the fact is
it does NOT have to if Obama would act like a true Commander-in-Chief
and give the order to 'shock and awe' the savages called ISIS back to
the bowels of hell from which they came. And Kerry's continuing
bloviations that "many different things that one doesn’t think of
normally in context of war,” do indeed meet the definition of war.
And
as Kerry keeps addressing what amounts to NOTHING more than semantics
what he should be addressing...but obviously will NOT...is the fact that
Obama is
trying to defeat ISIS without American 'boots on the ground' and
without
Arab 'boots on the ground' as well. And this anything but a true
strategy is sadly doomed to
fail... deliberately and calculatedly doomed to fail...for with ISIS
completely melded into the civilian populace in the major cities of
Mosul, Fallujah, and Ramadi, it will take hard-core urban warfare...a
door-to-door, hand-to-hand campaign if you will...to clear all of ISIS
out of Iraq and Obama knows it. But his hoping that with some additional
training and with some additional weapons this will allow Iraqi forces
to do the
job on their own is at best misguided thinking...outright dangerous
thinking at
worst...for Obama knows damn well that Iraqi troops have high-tailed it
and
ran in the past when the going got tough and he knows that without
American
troops by their side they will do so again...allowing ISIS to grow
stronger, bolder, and more determined than ever before.
And stronger ISIS continues to grow as what was approximately 7,000 or
so members back in June has now...according to the CIA...grown into an
army of 31,500+ members (some estimates by other sources are as high as
80,000 members)...31,500+ members with each and every one of them
determined 'in the name of allah' to kill us all. Picking up new members as
they stormed through town after town in Iraq, ISIS has grown into and
operates as a government of sorts as it's ISIS alone that now
provides...or withholds...electricity, food, and water to the towns they
take over.
And ISIS has NEVER hidden their goal of establishing a Sunni
caliphate NO matter how many times Obama croaks that ISIS is NOT
islamic. And ISIS is well on its way to that goal as they
now... according to some estimates...control about 35,000 square miles
extending from Syria though Iraq...a current swath of land roughly the
size of Jordan...a swath of land with over 6 million people now living
under their control...a swath of land that grows with each passing day.
And ISIS has cash and assets on hand...a war chest if you will...of up
to $2,000,000,000 (well above the assets of other terrorists groups like
the Taliban and Hezbollah which only have assets of about half a
million dollars each)...as well as garnering $3,000,000 a day on the black market from its
captured oil and gas fields from which they can continually replenish
their war chest.
But while ISIS has most assuredly grown into the most powerful
militant group in Iraq...the most powerful militant group ever...its
stranglehold on Iraq does rely to some degree on negotiating with
smaller militant groups to forge alliances with them. And these groups
include the notorious Mujahedeen Army, the 1920 Revolution Brigades,
Ansar al-Islam/Ansar al-Sunna, the Army of Muhammad, and others all
fighting against the current Iraqi government...all currently tied in
with ISIS, but all still operating somewhat independently on their own or in
conjunction with al-Qaeda, the very terrorist group that has deemed ISIS to
radical, brutal, and extreme even for them.
And these alliances mean that ISIS is NOT as invincible as they and others think
for alliances can be broken and new sides taken, and that fact can be
'manipulated' and used to help implode ISIS from within while at the
same time having ISIS hit from without. But this would require strong and dedicated
alliances on our side along with highly detailed
strategic coordination that this president is simply incapable of
doing...strategy that includes both a non-stop carpet bombing campaign that
hits ISIS in both Iraq and Syria simultaneously so that ISIS has nowhere
to run, coupled with the afore mentioned strong alliance of both Arab and American 'boots
on the ground.'
But such alliances we sadly do NOT have as the commitment of the nine
nations Obama says he has on board is weak at best as NO deal has yet been
worked out with Turkey (as I write this), the Saudis big
contribution (sarcastically said) to this alliance is to help train some
Sunni forces to fight against ISIS (which will bring Iran
into the mix for they will in turn then aid the opposing Shi'ite
forces cancelling out whatever the Saudis do); Britain and Germany have announced that they will NOT join
Obama's air campaign against Syria; Jordan refuses to say publicly it is
in the fight; and the Arab world continues to question where Obama's
true loyalties lie even though it's obvious to most that he sides time
and again with his brethren over the country he was elected to lead.
So even with the facts presented, the bottom line for some...some
like John 'Swiftboat' Kerry and Barack HUSSEIN Obama...remains a battle
of semantics as are we at war with ISIS or are we NOT in a war with
ISIS...but semantics and words mean little when the truth is that whatever words one chooses to use the end result is that the
savages known as ISIS are indeed out to kill us all.
