Attacks call Obama's strategy into question
Politico ^ | 11 Nov, 2014 | MICHAEL CROWLEY

Posted on 11/14/2015 7:07:46 PM PST by MtnClimber

Coming just a day after President Barack Obama's comment that the Islamic State had been contained, the terrorist attacks in Paris have cast doubt on the administration's strategy and efforts to show gains against the jihadist group, which claimed credit for the carnage. Obama convened a National Security Council meeting on Saturday, at which his team briefed him on the latest intelligence from Paris and noted that there is no specific or credible threat to the United States, while French President Francois Hollande called Friday's attacks an act of war.

Obama is the titular head of ISIS.

What action he has taken would suggest otherwise?

Not to worry, ISIS has been contained. Obama said so, it must be true.

One would have to have a strategy in order to have it called into question.

Yep, contained to Earth. So far, the rest of the solar system is safe.

What's his strategy? Lukewarm, vacuous sentiments after the fact and then off to a weekend of golf and fundraisers?

Must strike fear into the hearts of terrorists around the world.

He is doing something, letting islam getting a foot hold in Europe to use as a springboard to the U.S. Of course it is not a strategy that benefits us, just his fellow mooselimbs.

Strategy? It is more a question of will, allegiance and motivation.
