Wag the dog?

Well call me skeptical, but isn’t it interesting that King SFB says he might just bomb ISIS the day after his polls numbers show SFB at 40% favorability?  Don’t get me wrong though, I’m all for bombing the Islamo-Terror-Fascist scum for whatever reason.  But think about how much more effective that bombing would have been when ISIS was all covered and aligned driving south into Iraq from the Syrian border.

I think early on in Iraq’s slide to chaos Lex encouraged SFB to at least align himself and American support behind the Iraqi Kurds.  Had SFB been a bit quicker on the draw, who knows where we’d be?  Just as in Syria, SFB was still sucking his thumb - after having it up his backside all day - while his opponent had drawn his weapon and shot the hat off his head.  

You’d think after all of those Pentagon wannbe generals resigned because we sat back and watched our hard earned victory in Iraq turn into a SFB defeat, he’d have taken some kind of action.  No.  Wait.  There were no high ranking military resignations.  The go along get along crowd’s “best military advice” was to sit back and do nothing while waiting to see if kissing a mile of azz would be enough to get them their next star.  Better to sit quietly polishing apples than protest letting the sacrifice of over 4,000 better Americans go for naught.  Better not speak up to tell a bare butt naked King SFB he has no clothes or surly you will be banished to Minot, ND for your last tour to count basketballs and hand out condoms at the Special Services office. 

So yeah, I’m happy as heck that our military is back in the business of killing ITF scum.  I'll wait to see how aggressively they pursue that mission before dancing though.  I think this move is too late to save Iraq.  No one in that failed state will ever trust a central government to protect them again.  The Kurds won’t.  Christians won’t.  Nobody with a brain will.

A loose confederation of separate states is about the best outcome at this point.  Expect to hear Slow Joe Biden say, "See I told you so" on the three state solution that seems inevitable at this point.  That is sort of like your neighbor who crashes his car into your living room while driving home drunk one night reminding you that he told you that you should build a brick wall out front.

While bombing from 30,000 feet will kill a lot of ITF scum, I doubt it will be enough to destroy them or cause them to surrender much of the territory they’ve gained.  Sadly, these 12th century murderers have a whole lot more respect for those who sacrificed for hard won victories than anyone in our own Pentagon.  Now, who is it again that is backwards?

If the Pentagon wanted to save Iraq, they should have built a 5 star golf course somewhere in country and sent King SFB there to play a couple of rounds.  By cheating for him, they could have ensured the king shot his best scores ever.  By doing that they would have created an American interest in Iraq SFB would think was worth defending.
