‘…‘Zero Civilian Casualties’ in ISIS Battle
Ever since the weird, non-war against ISIS began, we have heard loud boasts from the Obama administration about how many fabulously expensive coalition force airstrikes we’re conducting. And yet, the Islamic State remains on the march in Iraq and Syria and is confident enough to launch a new campaign for control of devastated post-Obama, post-Clinton Libya.
A big part of the answer to why ISIS has not been diminished is provided by The Hill, which reports U.S. lawmakers are frustrated by rules of engagement that call for “zero civilian casualties.”…’
This directive must come from the Pentagon. And if it comes from the Pentagon, then the brass lapdogs are carrying out Obama’s wishes. The only reasonable conclusion is that the WH wants ISIS to attain their objective.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

Those human shields really work against the Americans.
Yes, they do. Which is to their credit, but it’s a losing formula in war.
As you know, once you have rules of engagement that call for “zero __XXX___casualties,” you know that the enemy will incorporate XXX into their defensive strategy.
In other words, in the real world, calling for “zero __XXX___casualties,” is guaranteed to put XXX in far more danger than they already are.
IDIOTS! I blame the politicians for their stupidly and the military for not educating the politicians better.
Exactly. ISIS are Obama’s allies in his quest to destroy Western Civilization.
The Tea Party Republicans are Obama’s enemies because they could (in theory, at least) remove him from office and send him prison.
“Zero civilian casualties” is a nonsense that only a politician with no military knowledge could come up with. It is the same absurd standard that they hold Israel to, despite the fact that Hamas deliberately sets itself up in civilian populations.
Israel, of course, settles for “minimise civilian casualties” which is actually achievable. It is a system that the U.S. Would do well to emulate. Not that that is likely.
“Zero civilian casualties ” is going to get a lot of people killed in the name of saving lives. Sadly, the casualty list will not include the perpetrators of this ill-thought-out garbage.
“…“Zero civilian casualties ” is going to get a lot of people killed in the name of saving lives. Sadly, the casualty list will not include the perpetrators of this ill-thought-out garbage.”
And that’s it, in a nutshell.
Given ISIS fetish for torture and murder before long there won’t be any civilians left alive to worry about.
A do nothing policy from a do nothing president.
obama is on hands and knees every night praying the isis problem can be managed and contained until his term runs out. His worst nightmare is being woken up in the middle of the night and some suggestions thrown around about groping around for some balls.
He will keep some sort of lid on it until his term runs out and his lick spittles in the media will carry him along until a republican is elected to clean up the shit he left behind. And mark my words, soon as that happens, the same aforementioned arse lickers will do everything in their power to fuck over the republican trying his/her best.
It is why it cannot work, the west doesn’t want to win, we don’t even want to fight, someone else will have to step into the pit, maybe the chinese will do it if they get bored of watching us get the cane time after time.
They just might….
“the same aforementioned arse lickers will do everything in their power to fuck over the republican trying his/her best.”
Just exactly like they did Bush,even though it was Clinton that dropped the ball.I figure you’re right,I also figure the economy will be propped up until then too and on 1/21/17 if there is a Republican in the WH everything will then be his fault alone with Obama being given sainthood by the prog media arseholes.
