Pentagon officials sought to downplay the day-to-day situation in Syria and Iraq, saying it’s time for Americans to stay thinking of the ISIS war in terms of years.
The Obama Administration has tried to reassure Americans about what is shaping up to be many, many years of war by insisting they are only part of a world-wide coalition.
Yet despite all the hype around Arab nations’ involvement in the Syria strikes, the Pentagon confirmed that the US is carrying out the vast majority of the strikes. Unsurprising, since many of the coalition members aren’t expected to actually do anything related to the war.
The costs of the US war are expected to continue to mount, with the latest estimates of $1.5 billion per month likely to be a drop in the bucket as the administration continues to escalate the conflict alarmingly on a weekly basis, adding goals and targets. It’s going to be a pricey war, for many years to come.
Did pentagon just find that out, or do they really studying what they are about to do or doing, in that case, dident they think before they created ISIS. The creation of ISIS with the support of those within the Saudi Arabia/Qatar took over three years to make, giving it the same amount of time to eliminate them is reasonable argument, that is to say if nothing changes and USG will get the same amount of support it need to carry on the original mission which is not accomplished yet, the regime change in Syria and Iran.
NOT unless 'WE THE PEOPLE' remove the MIS-ADMINISTRATION & Pentagon warmongers….
Just how many IS guys are there that it would take years to take them out?
As many as the US dis-information CHANNELS SAY..DUH
The military budget of ISIS is probably something like .000001% the military budget of the Pentagon and IS budget is paid for by US allies Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar with all the foreign military aid we give them. This is such a joke and a lie. None of this has the ring of truth to it and something does not smell quite right here. How a rag tag bunch of misfits can accomplish overrunning and controlling after they have overrun such a vast territory simply makes no sense. The US occupied or tried to occupy Iraq for years and it was total chaos for years and years…..but a bunch of guys in turbans roll into town in Toyota pick up trucks and they have everything under their control……please!
These guys over running Iraq and holding are: (1) Financially supported by the Saudis, Turks & UAE; (2) These guys are the well trained and motivated Iraqi army that nitwit Bremer fired; (3) after spending years killing the dumb and the slow these are the experienced ones left (and they are training others); (4) The lunatic head choppers and Sadam's former army make a very effective force against the lovers we trained, who basically were only interested in a pair of boots, clothes and a paycheck or two, and (5) Sadam's former army is using (very effectively) the heavy weapons and vehicles our well trained lovers ran away from. Not a pretty picture, but we do get to spend ordinance to destroy our own stuff w/the bombing raids and then bill the taxpayer for replacements … replacements for everyone! Ka-ching!
Well, it's not too complicated. You just have a Big Stupid Empire destroy a country for you and then you go in and start collecting pieces and putting them together because there's no one there to say "no". Then you collect the weapons from the deserting army of the destroyed country and you add those to the weapons and training the Big Stupid Empire already supplies to you and then you go off and fight the Big Stupid Empire with its own weapons and the training it gave you to use them. One thing Israel can attest to is that it's a LOT cheaper on your budget with a Big Stupid Empire footing the weapons bill.
Excellent!
The number of ISIS fighters is directly proportional to the profits the MIC can make off of this little adventure.
they start concocting imaginary enemies even before the first ones have been absorbed into the collective mind
years read centuries – perpetual war is the scumbags aim
Billion$- Trillion$ -Quadrillion$- Septillion$. TAKE YOUR CHOICE…WE ARE F'D..NO OUR CHILDREN & CHILDREN WILL SUFFER..
No worries, the Fed will just print the money at 0% interest.
ISIS is the aftermath of Bush's USA 2003 invasion of Iraq. An invasion he based on
lies, subterfuge, and propaganda. Oboomer has made matters even worse by expanding
his airstrikes into Syria. This imbecile is bombing the same ISIS factions in Syria
his USG Congress voted to supply arms in its effort to topple the Assad government.
Once upon a time, the US had presidents like John Quincy Adams:
"[America] well knows that by once enlisting under other banners than her own, were they even the banners of foreign independence, she would involve herself beyond the power of extrication, in all the wars of interest and intrigue, of individual avarice, envy, and ambition, which assume the colors and usurp the standard of freedom. The fundamental maxims of her policy would insensibly change from liberty to force…. She might become the dictatress of the world. She would be no longer the ruler of her own spirit."
The best analysis so far:

ISIS is simply an excuse for destruction of Syrian and Syria's Infrastructure Just like Hamas was a reason for Israel to destroy Gaza. What the Master do is what the House Negro do against field Negro Bashar Assad.
