ISIS war body counts mimic Viet Nam

The US has fired over 20,000 missiles on ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria since August, 2014, killing over 23,000 folks there, including innumerable innocent women and children. While the government brags about this grotesque accomplishment, there is no evidence ISIS fighters are being reduced, as new recruits flow in from around the world, including the US. Blowback even includes mass murder of innocents in the US. That reminds this aging anti Viet Nam war protester how our government based their whole propaganda campaign for retain American support for our criminal Viet Nam War on massive Viet Cong body counts to prove we were winning. Fact is we lost, and fact is we are losing the war against ISIS. Besides being unwinnable, it doesn't even need to be fought. ISIS is the bastard child of our criminal Iraq war which shattered the artificial boundaries of Iraq. Chaos we imposed on Afghanistan, Libya and now Syria in our utterly misguided attempts to depose the elected President Assad, have greatly exacerbated the Sunni-Shi'ite civil war of which ISIS is simply the Sunni side. Even more insane? Our best allies in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, Israel, and the UEA, are all supporting ISIS in one form or another.

 

But there are some winners here. The missile makers profits skyrocket while missile supplies plummet. They struggle to keep up re-supplying our WMD against the Sunni side. The military careerists have their filthy, nasty war to score promotions. The Xenophobes who demonize Muslims for personal or political gain are ecstatic. In the GOP presidential race it's a race to Armageddon to see who can out warmonger the others. Even progressive Democrat Hillary is banging the war drums with her insane 'no-fly' zones and sanctuary areas in Syria.

 

Meanwhile, the US is cheering on NATO ally Turkey for killing Russians who are killing Turkish fighters in Syria. That's a recipe for WWIII. You can faggetabout any US sympathy for the victims of the ISIS shoot down of a Russian airliner or the Turkish shoot down of a Russian bomber.
