Ramadi and Obama’s Phony Air War Against ISIS

Obama is keeping both of America's arms tied behind its back. Under his leadership, we're no sleeping giant --we're downright comatose

The Obama Administration continues to show complete incompetence in dealing with ISIS. Case in point: It’s decided that Ramadi, the capital of Anbar Province in western Iraq, is expendable—thereby showing it understands nothing about the value of the city or even its own capacity to defend it.

The reason? According to Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Martin Dempsey, Obama is emphasizing defending a refinery in the same province to protect the oil supplies. As if we couldn’t do both—and then some.

For the past eight months, the Administration has settled for little more than jabs when it could have landed flurries of punishing roundhouse blows. According to the latest 24-hour report Defense Department report, the U.S. launched just 36 airstrikes against ISIS in both Iraq and Syria. That’s actually much higher than normal.

It's not incompetence. The phony airwar against ISIS is designed to convince the media, but not degrade ISIS.

Why would we degrade ISIS? We created them, equipped them and expect them to do our bidding.
