Nonsense posted:It is the only way to destroy ISIS, full stop. Yes and No. ISIS will just go underground a'la Al Qaeda in Iraq if pursued by a superior force, and will wait till mainstay forces leave. But if they play this right and its only Special Operations and CAS, they may not be able to do that.

Three Olives posted:Being in a major market I have noticed that over the last couple of years the channels have been greatly expanding their subcarrier offerings and making them more appealing in general. I don't think it would be such a bad idea to give out some more OTA TV spectrum provided it was put to good use. This may not be part of the standard but could they give existing broadcasters more bandwidth to upgrade their subcarriers to HD? You can't make a station's bandwidth bigger - TV sets wouldn't understand it. You'd simply have the station pay for an additional broadcast license and then they'd have say physical channel 12 and 32 for the area, doubling bandwidth. I think current rules restrict a single owner to 4 independent broadcast licenses in a market area? Might be 3 instead. That still means as much as 6 to 8 high Def subchannels or as much as 20 standard definition. Edit:10 to 15 years from now new TV sets may use a better codec that ups the amount of HD channels on a single broadcast channel to 3 or 4. That'll probably require conversion equipment for current day tvs, but it'd just connect to em over hdmi which will be easy. Nintendo Kid fucked around with this message at 19:20 on Oct 27, 2015 |

CommieGIR posted:ISIS will just do the same thing. See: Vietnam War. If ISIS just integrates with the civilian populace and disappears, even Special Operations teams will be useless. Vietnam isn't a good comparison. It's easy to hide an army in a massive jungle that stretches nearly the entire border of your country, and being able to just wander over said border into supposedly neutral nations without consequence. That war was impossible to win from the beginning. If ISIS is able to integrate with a civilian populace, that's a serious indictment of that populace. What's the solution at that point? If a people are so supportive of an army of murderous slaving rapists, the world has already lost.

ISIS/Al Qaeda have made it pretty clear you don't have to support them or like them to do what they want. They are up to par on the blackmail/hostage system for controlling people.

CommieGIR posted:Yes and No. ISIS will just go underground a'la Al Qaeda in Iraq if pursued by a superior force, and will wait till mainstay forces leave. ISIL's legitimacy comes from holding territory. They're not AQ - they see themselves as the new Caliphate. That by definition requires territorial control, and if they collapse and go underground they'll lose both their financial support from oil and K&R and also their legitimacy that's pulling in foreign fighters. They'll become just another lovely terrorist group. That's a pretty major win compared to the current status quo.

They're going to continue hitting her on Benghazi for months and months to come. Since they couldn't get anything to stick to her in a setting where she can quickly retort, they'll just do it on FOX News and Republican debates, since they can say whatever bullshit they want with no fear of any meaningful repercussions.
