    Right now you need a strong president and the only one I can see is Trump.

    Trump simply does not have the numbers to win unless something drastic happens.

    OP

    Once upon a time the question might have been Can Bombs Win War against the Vietnamese?'?? The answer also would be the same - a great big NO.

    I don't pretend to understand your system, but if he loses does it mean Clinton will become president?

    Overlooking the sarcasm - who other than Americans would (*)(*)(*)(*)ing understand it - but you're going to have a Democrat administration? That's all you need, with global jihad knocking on your door. She'd invite them in for tea! [​IMG]

    And you base this theory on what exactly?

    I am just making a joke but Cruz is one crazy Evangelical SOB!!

    He is a racist...a bigot....feels his religion is the only true religion and does NOT no matter what he might say respect the beliefs of others.

    He pushed his religious ideology into all aspects of politics and although we NEVER have to worry about Cruz EVER becoming President as a multitude of polls and surveys show that the vast majority of American's and even Republican's hate his guts.....but as well Cruz's positions in general are Unconstitutional.

    I don't believe the "joke" was apparent to anyone and the discussion wasn't about Cruz, it was about Ron Paul.

    FAITH is the problem (belief w/out evidence - "an invisible man who lives in the sky will give me 72 hot virgins to rape if I kill Infidels who stand in the way of implementing the invisible man's laws!"....all w/out a court-room level of evidence, obviously.) But this is no different than "a different invisible man in the sky will give me eternal life if I just believe in his zombie-like son from Nazareth who he had savagely tortured." Faith is the problem.

    You're just creating more terrorists. Faith must be condemned, because faith is what drives their insanity. But doing that will require an attack on Jesus (aka "Isa", the messiah in Islam).....so belief in Jesus is keeping us from taking the steps needed to win this war, ideologically.

    ISIS's #1 role model had sex with a 9-year-old girl many times....so why isn't our gov't condemning their #1 role model then!? Would seem like a good starting point. If Hitler was a pedo, would FDR have been completely silent about that (like Obama is now)? Of course not! Our gov'ts war propaganda dept. would have been screaming it from the rooftops! "Your role model rapes children, time to find a new role model."

    The Islamic texts show this - https://wikiislam.net/wiki/Muhammad_and_the_Clinical_Definition_of_Pedophilia

    Okay, What is your answer since We Know.

    Acceptable Air Power does not Win Wars.

    Boots on the ground is nice but, not in jungles or Afghanistan like geography.

    AA solution or just keep doing the same ineffectual bombings on ISIS?


    BTW I believe Ron Paul's solution would be, have been
    not to overthrow Saddam nor weaken Assad
    the best anti terrorist of the region, as Trump said too.

    Bombs can win the war, but a lot more than "hundreds" of civilians are going to have to die. It's going to take Curtis LeMay with follow-up by Douglas McArthur. It's unfortunate that ISIS has put its civilians in this position. Before that, tho, I'd invite ISIS leaders to meet somewhere to figure out what they are after and if they intend to keep cleansing non-Sunnis. I might let them keep their 'emperor'.

    One thing that will never win the war is bringing Isis to our homeland.

    The only bombs that ever won a war were those used in hiroshima
    We bombed the heck out of germany, viet nam, korea....

    Btw, bombs work best when you have something more concrete than an idea as the target

    We have a Commerce Clause not general warfare clause.

    You are very very correct. Yes, not ONLY is Obama/Shillary an intellectual coward for refusing to address the Islamic roots of Jihad, but so are GW Bush, and many other Republicans. They realize that an attack on one Abrahamic Faith (Islam, our enemy's guide-book) is indirectly an attack on all Abrahamic faiths, and an attack on faith itself, so they remain silent about the real root cause of this war (religion/faith.)

    I think you can condemn the Islamic texts for inspiring Jihadists to fight infidels, correct? If not, then you are being part of the problem, my friend. What say you?

    Can YOU condemn Mohammad for having sex with a 9-year old while he was 54 years old? This will help stand up for children's rights, and help us to start to reduce the credibility of our enemy's #1 role model (so hopefully they embrace more more role models.) Can you, ARDY?

    "Ron Paul Asks: Can Bombs Win War on ISIS?" - to answer Mr. Paul's question: NO, bombs will not end this war, that's why it's already the longest war in US HISTORY, with no end in sight, and no plan for final victory. Endless holy war will be the legacy that we give to our children. Pathetic - no other generation in US history has ever failed as miserably as we are failing right now.

    Apparently Scamp is ok with "collateral damage" (i.e. innocent men, women and children being ripped apart by our "smart" bombs - that aren't really so smart)...."hey, in war innocent people die, there's nothing we can do about that....." is their thinking. Sad really. They wouldn't dare tackle FAITH - which is what really underlies this longest of all US wars, with absolutely no end in sight (it's actually getting WORSE every month.)

    Israel does that, and look what horrific kind of society the Israelis live under - religious Apartheid. Pathetic.

    - - - Updated - - -

    You mean MUSLIMS.....because there is no way to tell WHICH Muslim will "go Jihad" at any moment. Those French priest-beheaders were being monitored, IIRC, so there's just no way to tell, really. They could decide to emulate Mohammad at any moment.
