Iraq just unliberated a bit of itself

Tracking our shit would be utterly pointless. We'd know their location but not necessarily who was operating them and outside of that, we'd have to be willing to go in and retrieve the equipment which would be exorbitantly expensive everywhere...

[Indy]

What I'm sure some of you have thought of is: think of all the lives lost and treasure wasted training a clownish military and setting up a house of cards gov't. This is what happens.

That said: WTF are we still doing in Afghanistan then?

Anybody who says "Base close to Pakistan!" gets the hose.

So lets play this out.

ISIS sets up a mini caliphate in the occupied parts of iraq and syria. Meanwhile, Maliki, who will have dictatorial powers, will be directing shiite militia against them. Supported by Assad and Iran. Lol even Al-Queda bailed out of this f**k. Let them slaughter each other, and drone strike anyone with the capability or capacity to harm american soil. Let the Israeli's or the Turks deal with these idiots. Maybe in the end they will sort themselves out into proper states based along ethnic lines.

The logical conclusion is the destruction of those weapons, yes. The most logical conclusion is their destruction before they are taken by enemy forces, or at least before they leave the country.

"But why track them????111" Then Professor Comrade answers his own question by suggesting destruction by drone. Drones already in country with permission from the Iraqi government.

[The Comrade]

i know what to do with them. i've been asking YOU what YOU think should be the next step after tracking them. they will obviously go into civilian populations inside syria. how involved in syria do you want us to get in order to destroy/recover this equipment? you've weaseled out of this question enough times now, weasel.

Experts say ISIS totals no more than 10,000 fighters throughout Iraq and Syria, while the force that specifically seized the city of Mosul this week probably totaled about 800 fighters. That force overpowered two Iraqi Army divisions totaling about 30,000 troops.

Helpless.
