US absent. We're really being pushed to the side. Amazing.
Russia, France, and UK Bomb Islamic State Targets
Russia, France, and UK Bomb Islamic State Targets

France and Russia launched fresh airstrikes on the Islamic State (IS) stronghold of Raqqa in northern Syria on Tuesday, as police made 128 overnight raids across France in the hunt for accomplices to Friday's Paris attacks claimed by the Islamist group.
In northern Iraq, British RAF Tornado fighter bombers attacked Islamic State militants targeting Kurdish forces, killing more than 30 people, the Ministry of Defence said.
French warplanes targeted a command centre and a recruitment centre for jihadists in Raqqa in the second consecutive night of strikes ordered by President Francois Hollande, a military command spokesman told Reuters.
Russia also launched new strikes on Raqqa. "At this moment, the Russians are in the process of strongly hitting the city of Raqqa, which is proof that they too are becoming conscious [of the threat from Islamic State]," a senior French government source said.
The action followed President Vladimir Putin's announcement that Moscow would intensify air strikes in Syria after Russia's Federal Security Service confirmed that a bomb caused the crash of a Russian tourist airliner over Egypt's Sinai peninsula in October.

With missiles costing several thousand dollars each, we can afford to sit out a couple of offensive drives.

It's about time we got to sit one out to be honest.

Just googled...

Each missile cost $1.41 million. Raytheon Corp. is the manufacturer of the Tomahawk Block IV, a low-flying missile that travels at 550 miles per hour. During a decade of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya, the Pentagon has increasingly relied on the Tomahawk

There was a story yesterday where we destroyed 114 ISIS fuel vehicles used for their oil operation.

Good. USA does not have to police the world. It's about time someone else takes the initiative. I fully support helping out if we need to but by all means I think the European allies are fully capable of dropping bombs on a bunch of Goat frickers with at most RPGs.

What's sad is that at least 70% of the people who think America is going to shite because of government spending and crippling national debt will bitch and moan about the US not leading the charge on this.

We are not being pushed to the side. The chief SJW in the white house has purposefully kept us to the side for years. We could have already bombed them back to 569 a.d. if there was any resolve within our leadership.
Just think of all the lives and dollars it could have saved over the years. An aside to this is we would have no terrorist activity within our borders with the exception of Timothy McVeigh and such.

It's like you aren't even aware that the US has been bombing the hell out of ISIS for a long time now. Let someone else spend some money for a change. Goddamn you morons think all this shite is free and the US military has to be involved everywhere all the time.

Being pushed aside is very far from the truth....shadows and shades

Just a little. It's ridiculous how much they cost!

I have no problem with the US sitting it out, but do not kid yourself in claiming we are being "pushed aside". Do consider who the Commander in Chief is & what his military policy against ISIS consists of: committee meetings, conferences, containment, i.e. talking vs action.
