Yes, but Obama spent the fighting ISIS budget on 4 Syrian Rebels that cost us $500 million.
There were notably more trained. It's just a lot died or been driven out- and I doubt the program spend near it's full budget.
A failure so far to be sure, but it's not like we spent the money on five people.
Since we have no money left. Drones will do, pig.
We've got tons of money. The military budget's huge.
Also, aside from drones, there's backing local powers like the Kurds, which has been a lot more successful than training forces ourselves and where we have been giving them military advisors- and they just retook a major city.
Its not necessarily in the interest of the regional powers to destroy ISIS. The Turks hate the Kurds more than ISIS. The Saudis silently praise ISIS's actions. Iran doesn't want a unified Iraq because they don't want to have Sunni participation in an Iraqi government. Even the Kurds don't really want to destroy ISIS; they want to protect their land. A shattered Iraq can't reign in on what is essentially Kurdistan.
Basically, these people all hate each other more than they hate ISIS.

Because after two wars, we still have a lot more troops than we need post war, of course. It's lowering costs when we don't need as many- and doesn't the Republicans complain about the debt all the time? Debt's not really a big of a deal as they make it, but not paying for a wartime army is an easy way to lower costs.
Heck, if we did need more money, we could do what has traditionally been done during war and raise, dun dun dun, taxes. If that didn't cause Republicans to break out into hives, at least.

No one cares if anyone says this kinda stuff as long as it's not Long Pig or Star.Interesting😂
No, it's still dumb no matter who says it.
People don't *always* respond when you or Star or such do it either... it's just you lot say it enough that people do get around to responding.
I don't know why you think, "Ah ha! People didn't respond to something!" is a useful debating tactic. All it says is you wanna manufacture 'gotchas' outa nothing... and it's also funny that sometimes you do it when people have responded.
Yeah, I for one hadn't read this thread until now. Now that I did I would like to point out that generally asking "What would Hitler do" and using that as a role model is misguided.
It's similar to how some people say "Well ISIS would do that, so why shouldn't we"...if we (the west) give up our honor and beliefs in fighting our enemies, what is the point?

I don't recall asking your opinion. Now your just doing that thing you do where you blame something someone else did on someone else, as usually do. Try and remain objective.

No, Q99 is basically right, Tattoos N Scars's post doesn't come close to the never ending stream of bile put out by Star and Long Pig, God rest his soul.
EDIT: Also the fact those two openly mock and attack the opinions of others probably has something to do with it.

Add in the conflict in Yemen as a bit of icing on the cake, and oh my...

Saying they should be nukes ranked ower then what? I don't care what anyone says, it's called free speach but if you going to critize others, everyone should be held to the same standard.
