Reformers need some new advisors

Obama ran on a diplomatic approach, and he's been bombing in a more counties than bush ever did. I think once the get in the "chair" their eyes are opened to a larger threat than we are aware of.

When the American nuked Japan there was innocent collateral damage. But it sent the right message.

If you never want to see the white flag, you are just perpetuating the problem.

One thing i cant figure out is where isis gets there weapons and supplies. surely in this day and age supply lines could be cut off.Other than that all out war is necessary.But then i suppose isis troops would be farmers. Sort of like viet nam. Cant win a war when the enemy is not defined.

What difference have we made?

I can't believe the attitude that it is okay to go to war but not to suffer casualties. Sure we will contribute but only by bombing from 20,000 feet because they have no weapons that can hit us there. Or we will point out targets to you but we will not shoot. We will train God knows what Rebel group to shoot at the current ISIS rebel forces and then wonder what happens when they shoot at someone else, or us a couple of years later!

The west calls this a WAR on ISIS. What it really is is just target practice for western air forces. Trying to destroy an enemy in a mostly urban environment by bombing alone and without inflecting civilian causalities and is insane. Even more stupid is for world leaders to be shocked by the resultant refugee crisis and unprepared for it.

Why are we in there?
Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries who have large armies ARE NOT. Even though they are against Isis

[mustardman]

If this govt can GIVE the Saudis the CWB for nothing. Then maybe Stevie should tell them to fight their own war.
By the way the Saudis have the biggest army in the region

[bucket]

We expense our taxes in empty cartridges while the Saudis build assets in canada.

Selling the cwb to the end user who publicly said they were going to quit subsidizing their domestic wheat production was moronic at best.

[fjlip]

Every country has a weapons industry, they sell to all buyers, ISIS no doubt. $$$ talk, BIG gets their way, Gov's are NOT in control. We get killed with our own weapons, very smart aren't we?

Alberta and Saskatchewan only. . . . barely ahead in Ontario.

Canadians are getting smarter by the day.

Harper just hired the wizard of Oz from down under.Considered best in the world.Election is about to get nasty.Probably too late and too obvious he will stoop to anything to win.Lynton Crosby is his name.Money will not make voters believe anything he says anymore.
