When you get right down to it, I don't think 0bama is that opposed to ISIS.

I read a few weeks ago, when this was getting started, that Commandante Zero demanded that all air missions in Syria receive his personal approval.

Well, here we are. So far, Barry has approved missions that are ineffective at halting ISIS. This is either an operational failure on the part of the men carrying out these missions, or this is a failure at the tactical level that His Barryness has insisted on overseeing in a manner that is pretty peculiar for a CiC.

I leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Dumbasses need to use napalm or cluster bombs, instead of micro munitions.

Obammy’s plan B,
Go to another fundraiser then get bent over by reggie love

Sounds like ISIS is the new Vietnam to me, somehow we can’t beat the ME fascists like we couldn’t beat the Vietnamese Communists. Combine that with a gullible electorate who can’t see past their own #$% and we are pretty much seeing more devastation than Global Warming carried out against the so-called enemy. And yes, I wish we used the “right” bomb, or possibly a MOAB.

Obama has nothing to do with the operation of Air Force One. He is just a passenger.

If Obama had been involved with the operation it would have crashed long ago.

they’ll work even less after the midterms

Which reminds me...I think I'll just be absent from voting in November. :(

There haven’t been many air strikes, and there won’t be many more — but after the election, Zero will have more leeway.

What makes anybody think that 0bama wants actions against the "Islamic State" to be successful?

Not one damn thing.
