So a guy who is directing strikes against Islamic extremists TODAY is finding fault in people who defended themselves against Islamic extremists 1000 YEARS ago? That right?

The guy who is directing strikes against Islamic extremists TODAY is an Islamic extremist. Because of the sequence of events I have to believe that the first strikes were done without his knowledge or against his orders, then in the limo going to the press conference that day the general told him and told him he had better own it for his own political good, But once he took charge himself he was able to limit the strikes to pinprickery. Those first strikes were enough to slow ISIS in Kobane enough for the Kurds to get it together and fight back effectively but they don’t hinder ISIS a hell of a lot beyond that. If it were 100 a day rather than 12 it would be significant in effect but we still need boots on the ground, at least we need to arm,m supply, and train the Kurds and the Christians which we have not yet seen fit to do though we allow some other countries to do that a little bit or maybe our military allows it.
