Obama declares 'turning point' for U.S. military

Is a good first step, but if there is one US soldier in Iraq and a republican takes over, say hello to a couple hundred thousand again.

More accurately if the region poses a threat to US sovereignty or home soil security, somebody or something will attempt to halt that progress. Either political party will stand that ground.

As they should.

Modern equivalent of Hadrian's Wall......

Good Luck " Middle East ".

"Middle East" is barely on the news media's radar, imagine how many Miley Cyrus articles were posted while ISIS was taking over large chunks of Syria and Iraq.

Yes but way 2 slowly. How many civilians are they killing each day........8 years time once America wins?

America has no strategist, just like the Afghanistan war and the Iraq war. Iran provided America with their strategies for going into Afghanistan and how to take control..... And Iraq entry. If you look at the Iraq war, you would know No America did their strategies 2... It was an Australian. Hint! Look at G W Bush Media interview when a pre planted reporter ask him who is doing the strategies, even after it was known Davie P was.....w t f?. He said some people from the public sent some in. Part truth......... Real truth 1 guy that did it all 70+ strategies for Iraq.

What was Americas strategy fighting the ISIS and stopping there advance?

Americas strategy in Kobani. Drop 5,000 pound bombs on the targets that kill the ISIS and the civilians near the target, because 1 bomb takes out a massive area...look and see There bombs take out a massive area with 1 bomb, destroying all near it. There strategy is last line of defence, by just dropping them all over there positions. That murdered 35 civilians..... So they have know strategy at all then. They just murdered 35 civilians and here is the proof.

A real strategy.

The Kurdish troops holding them off, will go house to house all houses behind them, clearing the area. The strategy works by sending people back from the front "there holding position" clearing out all civilians seeing a 100% cleared zone. "So we tell them to send people back behind them, and clear the area. They will then start to pull back fast, seeing the ISIS men rushing forward, into the "deliberately" cleared area".

They think there pushing them back now, but its a trap. Area cleared and we are going to just level it flat to the ground. So what we do now is....LEVEL THAT CLEARED AREA THEY GO INTO .

What strategy is better before you just vote down. Just dropping bombs all over the place killing civilians, or making them draw / push forward into a "deliberately" cleared area?
