Then Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force General T. Michael Moseley said, "We've moved from using UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicle) primarily in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance roles before Operation Iraqi Freedom, to a true hunter-killer role with the Reaper."[6]

At this point I think the Military Industrial Complex has too strong of a hold on the government.

This is about Syria.

The US will have to keep putting flimsy governments in place in Iraq for resources. That isn't news.

The US gov thinks it can nation build and it cannot. Syria is going to resemble Iraq and the extremist groups will grow stronger from it.

This can all be traced back to the end of WW1 and not as the product of the the military industrial complex.

the reason it failed in iraq is because of all the hatred those ethnic groups have for each other

is it the same in syria?

US begins air strikes in Syria

The US and allied nations have begun air strikes against Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria, the Pentagon has said.

Spokesman Rear Adm John Kirby said fighter and bomber jets and Tomahawk land attack missiles were being used.

The strikes were expected as part of President Barack Obama's pledge to "destroy" IS, prompted in part by their execution of two US journalists.

The US has already undertaken 190 air strikes in Iraq since August.

GOP Congressman Urges U.S. Generals To Resign In Protest Of Obama's Foreign Policy

As U.S.-led airstrikes continue Friday near the Syrian border with Iraq, it's hard to imagine what would make the situation worse than the military suddenly losing all its generals.

But that is exactly what Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.) told a group of voters he wants to see happen, the Colorado Independent reported.

"A lot of us are talking to the generals behind the scenes, saying, 'Hey, if you disagree with the policy that the White House has given you, let's have a resignation,'" Lamborn said Tuesday, adding that if generals resigned en masse in protest of President Barack Obama's Middle East policy, they would "go out in a blaze of glory."



Since Obama launched military operations against the Islamic State in mid-September, several reports have suggested that he may have a less than perfect relationship with his generals. Several high-ranking military officers and Pentagon officials have publicly voiced their disagreement with Obama's airstrikes-only approach in Syria. Former defense secretary Robert Gates said, "There will be boots on the ground if there's to be any hope of success."

Lamborn, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, has been an outspoken critic of Obama's military actions and his foreign policy as a whole. "After watching President Obama's rudderless foreign policy for the past five years, I have lost confidence in the president's ability to lead," Lamborn said in a statement earlier this month.

But military generals are unlikely to heed Lamborn's call to resign. When Gen. David Petraeus, then the commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, openly criticized the administration's policies there, the White House reacted strongly, and some suggested Petraeus should resign. Petraeus decided against it, saying a resignation would hurt American interests. "Our troopers don't get to quit, and I don't think commanders should contemplate that, again, as any kind of idle action," Petraeus said.
