The Daily Beast has a number of devastating articles on the administration's posture on the IS.

John Kerry is trolling you on ISIS.

The sophomoric leadership of Obozo gave ISIS a great head start.

Left and Right are against arming so called moderates in Syria. I suspect the Moderates are Muslim Brotherhood types that Obama like.

New York Times op-ed page today was a crazy quilt of leftists trying to get their heads around this.

Everyone in awe of Dick Cheney and the way he grabbed the narrative. You can tell because they are badmouthing him all over the place without dealing with what he said. Just falling back on his name alone as the quintessence of evil.

The Democrats are against Omama simply because there is an election in November.

I wouldn’t trust Obama with any war in the ME or anywhere. He’s too conflicted. He has divided loyalties. He’s a traitor.

It’s not even a strategy. More like a travesty.

Anytime I read an article purporting to discuss the president’s views and actions, I first check to see if it’s satire. Reading what Obama says is like reading Mad Magazine or The Onion. Our problem in Syria is that Assad winning is the best possible outcome. But Assad has already been picked as an ally by Russia. Historically, we have to be on the other side from Russia. But it’s like a game where our opponent has already picked the best player. Given that view the best option is not to play in Syria. That leaves the Kurds and, possibly, some Iraqis. But the Shias have already been picked by Iran. (Oops!)
Back to the Kurds.

"Left, right slam Obama's new ISIS strategy."

Strangely enough, ISIS approves of Obama's new ISIS strategy.

People are angry about the beheadings, and this “strategy” will come up short in satisfying the emotions.

It should be clear to all now that Obama favors Islam, which is why he must declare ISIS, “not Islamic”. He literally tied himself in knots with this speech.

It will be a big political backfire.

He is destroying the Democratic Party, and if they know what’s good for them, they will visit him and ask him to contract a mysterious illness that prevents his completing his term. I’m not so sure this couldn’t happen now.

The policy:

“Let’s us try and do something vaguely military over there but not actually hurt anybody”.
“Fight AT war without actually fighting one”.

“Victory”—huh, wazzat?

Well I don’t know. It depends on the strategy of IS IS.
