He has NO strategy to destroy ISIS; because his strategy is to strike a deal with Iran. In essence, let Iran be the regional power broker, have nukes, and keep the region quiet. The problem with Obama's Iran strategy is you can't trust Iran and you can't trust Obama to negotiate a good deal for US interests. Also, if Iran goes nuclear, so will others in the region. Obama thinks he is the smartest guy in the room; that is why he ignores the advice of his advisors.Maybe Obama can get GWB to look our potential enemies in the eye to get a feel for how we should act.
When has Obama gotten anything right with regard to domestic or foreign initiatives? Originally Posted by Whirlaway
I like him. He's smooth, smart and comfortable in his own skin. Sandhurst-educated, like his father. Can anyone imagine our C-in-C dressed in fatigues? It would look worse than Dukakis riding a tank. Even if we supply Abdullah with what he needs (and Odumbo won't), Jordan is a small country and can hardly do this alone. He needs to be helped. We rely heavily on his intelligence services to know what is going on. He has taken in 2 million Syrian refugees, which doesn't exactly enhance stability. But he knows the pulse of the "street".

Because Obama has NO strategy; he has no plan to destroy ISIS. As evidenced by his own Defense Nominee (Carter) who couldn't tell the Senate what the Obama strategy for defeating ISIS was.WW can you blame Iran for wanting to go nuclear? Put yourself in Iran's shoes- it's surrounded by enemies- Iran is the only Shiite country in the middle east. For the most part Shiites and Sunnis- don't get a long. Most Sunni radical groups like Al-Queada and ISIS don't consider Shiites real muslims and see them as infidels.
Obama is running out the clock; but more importantly, he is working hard to hand the keys to the region over to a nuclear capable Iran and their mullahs.
It is part of his strategy to fundamentally transform Amerika. Originally Posted by Whirlaway

I'm sure "IS" is "amongst the most devout muslims". I hope all "IS" creatures in every country in the world get martyred tomorrow! Originally Posted by IIFFOFRDBI stand corrected- any normal person with a soul- or even some belief in God- should find no pleasure in burning a man to death inside a cage- unless that man was Satan, but I was thinking that perhaps most radicals would even think that is going so far. I have read somewhere have to find the source that some Al-queada members have stated that ISIS tactics have gone too far.

If this serves as a catalyst for other Muslims to fight these assholes, that will be great.
