I do believe that the old saying goes: they are about to stomp a mud hole in their ass and march it dry.
.
That is of course, if anything is left after the French get done with them. They wasted no time whatsoever to start their bombing campain. They didn't ask for "permision," they didn't go to the UN, they just went and did it... and let me tell you, they are bombing the ever loving fucking piss out of those ISIS targets.
Whenever I imagine a bombing run I envision carpet bombings like in Vietnam with 27 B-52s each with 24x 750lbs bombs. Not a strategic strike of 20x 500 lbs bombs.
The Vietnam era did not see the level of accuracy and precision we enjoy now. We don't need to randomly drop a dozen tons of ordinance in one go and cross our fingers that one of them *might* damage the target.
.
We can drop one single 500 pounder that will damn near fly right through the window or down the chimney... and obliterate the target.
