"Once war is forced upon us, there is no other alternative than to apply every available means to bring it to a swift end. War's very object is victory, not prolonged indecision."
So said Gen. MacArthur in some of the wisest counsel the old soldier ever gave his countrymen.
Yet, "prolonged indecision" would seem the essence of the war the president has begun to "degrade and ultimately destroy" the Islamic State.
For, following only one night of bombing in Syria, Gen. Bill Mayville, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs, asked to estimate how long this new war would last, replied: "I would think of it in terms of years."
"Years," the general said.
Yet, though we are already heavily into bombing, the president has no congressional authorization for this war in Syria.

What if??????? war mongering politicians started a war and parents had taught their children to not go, not fight unless that war was on American soil? Told those same war mongerers to go themselves, send their our children and families off to their death? After all, the ONLY reason they start war is for personal gain $$$. If they and their children had to go, war would STOP. Did you see little George Bush go off to Viet Nam? No, he reluctantly (they had to force him to do that) pretend to be in the National Guard. Did Bill or Hillary Clinton sign up to serve their country during any of the wars they could have fought in? How about Barry Sorento or his wife? How about any of their children? Dick Cheney's gay daughter, any of the rich and powerful? War is about the greedy money changers seeking to profit from war just like Cheney did with Halliburton etc. etc, etc. Always the same lie, please stand your children up for untold slaughter Mr. & Mrs. Patriotic American and WE the divine political money mongers of the world, who refuse to fight, refuse to send our own, will wave the American flag and give songs of patriotism to persuade you to ALLOW US to end your childrens lives, long before they would end naturally. In ending, those that can and do think for themselves and are NOT overwhelmed by self promoting liars, nor the bull shit they espouse know the truth about war and those that choose to profit from it.
