OK so you are saying because information was leaked the mission was a no go. So do you not consider yourself with this thread a leak and the info given to you from your SF friend is complicit now?
Have you ever thought that the info you have received may be an intentional leak to see where the leaks are?

I saw the conference where Obama admits he has no plan and that all this damn stuff is interfering with his holidays,Niccolo Machieveli talks of 'dementure of the military', through excessive interference in his art of war,I really wouldn't want any great war at the moment if I was American because with your current leadership you would probably loose,Australia is once again there for our ally we will provide air logistics and special forces help,but it is about time Egypt,Saudi Arabia,Jordan,Qatar et al did something.In any event America is now portrayed as weak,with no strategic planning and with a vacillating possibly even schizoprenic foreign policy....now what does that suggest to an enemy?

there might not actually be a good plan, heck there might be nothing we can really do, without making the situation worse or making merely a token effort.

america has been a stumbling drunk since it "won" the cold war and the USSR collapsed.
we didn't have a plan, there hasn't really been anyone at the wheel since George H.W. Bush; at least not anyone who knows how to actually control the darn thing.
So Kerry as bumbling as he is sees the need for more than airstrikes. But even republicans echoed what Kerry said...
-
President Obama's foreign policy failures are standing in the way of "a new American century," Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) said in a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday.
What do you guys think? Is there a rational reason behind the stall tactics?
While there have been many threads on here about whom ISIS is and if they were created by US or CIA or some other agency is NOT what we this is about.

personally, I think you're giving H.W. too much credit, too. I think we've had drivers asleep at the wheel for a LONG time.

Maybe it's just me, we all know I'm not the brightest knife in the shower, but every time I read or see something from Kerry, I'm reminded of Neville Chaimberlain.

We should bolster our defense up at home and wait until we are attacked. Then find what individuals are responsible for said attack and bring them to justice. Anything else is completely moronic and pure theater

benghazi worked out pretty well like that, didn't it.
americans really aren't that way, to wait until attacked.
besides, holder is in ferguson and will be tied up for a while.

I am not giving the name but he is Special Forces.....and is there dealing with this NOW!! That is all I can say about my source as for the small amount of knowledge you actually have about ISIS your opinion is very naive and because it is your opinion you are certainly entitled to it..
As far as Foley goes SF knew where he was and how to get to him....But ASS HAT Obama did not give the go ahead for 2 more weeks!!! By this time the mission had been leaked and the hostages were not there!! Not to mention after searching for hostages they came under heavy gunfire and Obama and his wait and see nonsense almost cost an entire detachment!! He is just a dumb ass who does not give a #e about me or you so why do you defend him????

Your point?

Im sure German leaders dont sit back n say "Well Hitler put people in concentration camps soooo...."
Get over it......Bush isnt president anymore , and this guy needs to stop the damn vacations and golfing campaigns and take care of his country

That has nothing to do with anything......i am saying Obama waited 2 weeks before giving the go ahead for the mission......The mission was completed yet no hostages found because Obozo waited to act!
