#1 three air strikes on Saturday???

Dang, I wonder if the world is laughing as hard at these statistics as we are.

Maureen Dowd, who I normally loathe, wrote a nice juicy castration of the One in the times. She specifically called out this tepid air campaign as a proof of the One's failures to follow through on a variety of key issues. She basically tore off her "Yes we can" tee-shirt and went full honey badger on his entire two terms in office...saying many of the same things we have collectively been saying here for the last seven years.

Back to this little article.

The numbers are laughable and the ROE of our air assets are causing USAF planes to return to base fully loaded with ordinance because our micromanagers in charge can't get their shit together before the low fuel warning light comes on. ISIS can run a parade with literally hundreds of fighters and dozens of tanks, Humvees, trucks, technical, and APCs and our "brain trust" in charge of the air campaign cannot put down their donuts long enough to expedite a mission.

I have read articles that suggest the air campaign has degenerated into the one we had during Viet Nam with President Johnson personally picking the next days targets. While I doubt the ONE wants to get his hands dirty with selecting targets, I do believe the WH is in charge of the campaign and has no guts for the fight.
