The anti-ISIS airstrikes the right chooses to ignore

I've seen this all over Facebook today. President Obama is weak because President Hollande just bombed Syria. The BS is thick with these people.

Oh and these are the same people who used to call for a ban of everything French - Freedom Fries anyone??

But what’s especially noteworthy about this are the details many on the right choose to ignore. National Journal’s Josh Kraushaar insisted this morning, for example, that the president has a “deep seated aversion to using military force,” adding, “If not after Paris, when?”

What’s puzzling about this is the degree to which the criticisms ignore current events. According to statistics from the Pentagon, since President Obama launched a military offensive against ISIS targets 15 months ago – his “deep seated aversion to using military force” notwithstanding – the United States military has carried out 6,353 airstrikes. Every other country on the planet combined has carried out 1,772.

Or put another way, for every one anti-ISIS airstrike launched by all of our coalition partners from around the globe, American forces have launched four anti-ISIS airstrikes of our own.
