France attacks Raqqa, the capitol of ISIS, with Air Strikes. The French finally grew a pair of big brass ones? Will the Swedes grow a second pair?

France is staying true to its promise to wage war on ISIS by dropping bomb after bomb on the terrorist group’s capital of Raqqa. From CNN. The targets included a command center, a recruitment center, an ammunition storage base and a training camp

    20 bombs from 10 fighters is not what I'ld call 'bomb after bomb'. Now a B52 dropping 75 or 80 bombs or an entire squadron of B52's, I might call 'bomb after bomb', Objectively speaking. But we did that to the North Vietnamese and couldn't even disrupt dirt supply trails through the jungle.

    France's little show is a dirt devil in the desert.

    And so be it.
    This should be a coalition endeavor that makes a broad inclusive statement by NATO and any other nation that wants to participate in defeating Terrorism.
    Take the fight to them. Do it right by going till you get the last one standing. THE WORLD NEEDS TO STAND AGAINST THIS MADNESS. Go the extra step and insist that the Organization of Arab Nations set up camps and fund these camps for their refugees from their Arabic Nations.
    Europe should return all refugees to these Arabic camps. And the US should accept none. Since the western nations are the infidels, the hated, the pagans to be destroyed then let the Arabs take care of their own. They have the means to do so.
    I understand humane causes, Red Cross intervention, etc., but when there is no reciprocation, no respect, then STOP.

      yet do not forget those in those areas who are not muslim. Bahai, Chriistians, Yezedi and even some Jewish though what they are doing there is a puzzle. I differentiate between practicing Muslims such as the Kurdistani sunni and pretend Muslims such as the Sect ISSi's Hard to get that right.

        Various Ret. Generals and past Ambassadors are really astounded by Obama's continued position refusing to call a spade a spade. They say that France and even NATO cannot effectively go after Isis with what they have unless the US takes the lead.
        I think the cards are already on the table and no one has a good hand...
