Bingo! You hit the nail on the head ! He's thinking ,short term, of his image and campaign promises, not the good of the country or world. He's shirking his responsibilty and his place in history is going to take a hard hit. The longer a cancer grows and spreads, the harder it is to get rid of

True, but a lot of the flag waving by those at the top, in favor of *the definitive war* often deteriorates into a grab for resources, and another chance for weapons testing, and an inflaming of a conflict. If any politician meant to solve the problem, they would. I sort of like the hands-off,

I'm not exactly sure who's saying *what* around here either. However, I don't expect anything significant to happen with ISIS until we have a president that will listen to his military scientists, his top generals.As long as we have a *community organizer* ignoring the best advice of military

Mike, It appears that Obama wants the other Arab nations in the Middle East to put their troops in Iraq to defeat ISIS. This strategy may not world since these nations don't want to spend their own money and their troops for a campaign that might last for years. IMO, Obama is just

Richard, Whether you like it or not, the US is at war with another group. ISIS must be taken out of Iraq first before any of the other parts in the plan can be implemented. For the time being, the Assad government should be a US friend while ISIS is still alive and well in Iraq and

In the desert there's no place to run and no place to hide. U.S. firepower will pick off every jeep, fore-runner and Toyota on the road between Mosul and Damascus. All the ISIS oil terminals will be destroyed - there will no fuel, no food, nothing will get in or out. The ISIS-controlled area will

Actually it would be easier for the Iraqi forces to retake the towns that the ISIS militants have occupied after the US bombs the ISIS equipment, weapons and stronghold. However, it's another scenario in Syria itself. At this time, I would assume Assad's forces are more likely to finish the

This pact complicates the scenario in fighting ISIS. Its probably not a good idea to arm the so-called friendly rebels at this time. Doesn't matter. Islamic State will attempt to convene an Islamic Caliphate to establish regional lordship over Muslim countries. They will then come back home
