“No strategy” IS a strategy. Ignoring ISIS is tacit agreement with its goal.

Woody Allen and Diane Keaton never really came up with a strategy for accomplishing the nose transplant in Sleeper.

He DOES have a strategy. His strategy is to do nothing or at least as little as possible.

Jeez...we’ve all known in one form or another that these guys have been floating around since at least the chem weapon stuff last year.

I would be more enraged that we hadn’t briefed him until recently.

The issue is that he reads the reports, but doesn’t take the briefing. So he is missing a whole lotta context.

Did they notice if Obama had his fingers in his ears and was singing LA LA LA LA

He never held a real job in his life.

Certainly not one in which he was ever called upon to make actual decisions.

Why is anybody surprised?

He has a strategy, but since it is anti-American he can’t divulge it.

Your comment is exactly the truth and it completely explains the Obama foreign policy which seems to be a mystery to the MSM.

But it is worse than simply anti-American. It is pro-Sunni. Simply look back at the decisions he has made and those that he has seemingly inexplicably failed to make and that should be clear. His lack of an ISIS strategy is just the latest example.

Does this surprise anyone?
When the going gets tough he will side with the enemy. Said it himself.
If we had some men/women with half a pair they’d have dragged him off of the golf course by now and installed someone with a full pair. Dereliction of duty comes to mind.
Sorry to say it, Trump is correct. Americans are embarrassed by the person occupying the space at the white house.

Obama is a “world citizen” first. This is his first responsibility as far as he is concerned. Couple that with the leftist concept that America is some imperial bully imposing itself on everyone for material gain...then he’s doing exactly what he thinks America should be doing. Which is nothing.

Did anyone listen to Bill Ayers on Fox? This is exactly what he thinks too, except he can openly say it.

I see it in them...only because I once thought that way - it is consistent with everything he does. It is *not* baffling why he’s not doing anything. He truly believes that if America is less involved in the world it would be a better place....or at least easier for Islam to rise. Probably both.

Remember, this guy fully understands our Constitution, he just disagrees with it. So don’t ask, “doesn’t he know that’s unconstitutional?”...it is the wrong question. Of course he knows...he just doesn’t care and nobody is stepping up to stop him.

We entire world is going to pay a steep price for this guy, not just the USA.

What would you have the out of power GOP do to change the situation?

It just takes simply asking the question, "who benefits the most?", when it comes to foreign policy decisions.

Yep. Recall that infamous photo of him clutching his copy of “Post American World” by Fareed Xakaria? It’s ALWAYS been his ‘vision’. Stupid STUPID voters.

Glad you remembered that! Of course, Woody would be a step up in quality . . .

Right. Obama's no strategy is his strategy. That he is letting ISIS run wild, even after a year of briefings, maybe even reading about it in the paper or seeing it on CNN, shows that he is content with ISIS doing what they are doing. That makes Obama a party to ISIS's atrocities.

"There is no doubt that Obama has "handlers", and I don't believe they are democrats. "

I think we all know this but we don't always put it together:

Valerie Jarrett (who knows wht her real Moslem name is, or are there a lot of "Valeries" in Iran?

She is the voice of radical Islam in what used to be "OUR WHITE HOUSE".

IT is from her that Obama receives his daily guidance.

This should explain everything.

why is a strategy needed when you endorse something?

At the next presser someone needs to ask when the last time Barack actually met with his National Security Council?

...not just read its reports.
