DOES THE “CAMPAIGN” AGAINST ISLAMIC
STATE FORCES LEAD TO WHAC A MOLE?
So, some type of “campaign” is now underway in Syria and
rest assured, no matter how well thought out the process was developed by the
Pentagon, the politicians will figure out how to screw it up!
Now, that is not to say whatever the planners came up with
would work, given one of the oldest rules of conflict; they enemy gets a vote”!
Whac a Mole:
Some have talked about the possibility of this phenomenon
taking place once a true “campaign” began against the Islamic State forces, but
the reality is, it most likely will take place and it could prove to be the
undoing of the “ campaign”!
Leadership of the Islamic State movement understands they
have no ability to conduct a ‘force on
force” conflict with their attackers.
They do realize the ability to show they survived and can
still strike fear in the hearts of their attackers is the absolute definition
of victory.
If 30 days into a Billion Dollar Air Campaign, by the way,
don’t fool yourself into actually thinking this is only an Air Campaign, yet
another innocent individual loses their head on You Tube, where does the public
opinion go?
If one of the Allies
of this new “campaign” looks to their South as sees an out of control Crisis in
Yemen, what is the reaction?
If a Jordanian national is kidnapped and executed, what
then?
If an IS cell attacks in France?
Is everybody in; all the way in?
The West and its Allies have made their initial move.
It won’t be the last action on the Alliance and it will not
be the end of the Islamic State movement.
It’s one thing to say, “this will be a ‘long’ campaign.
It’s another for the public in multiple nations to
understand it; just ask GW.
Did the enemies of the Islamic State movement just kick off
the next round of “Whac a Mole”?
How many locations can the Western Alliance bomb?
