According to Barack Obama, “We Don’t Yet Have a Complete Strategy” against ISIS in Iraq

Monday at the G-7 Summit in Germany, President Barack Obama said after months of engaging ISIS in an air war over Iraq and Syria while supposedly building up an international coalition to fight them on the ground in the absence of U.S. ground troops, the Administration does not “yet have a complete strategy.”

Obama said, “We’re reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that, essentially accelerating the number of Iraqi forces that are properly trained and equipped and have a focused strategy with leadership. When a finalized plan is presented to me by the pentagon, then I will share it with the American people. We don’t yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of the Iraqis as well, about how recruitment takes place, how that training takes place. So the details of that are not yet worked out.”

My Opinion: This example of mind-boggling incompetence is not a surprise. Obama just wants Iraq to go away until he is out of office. Then he can sit on the sidelines and tell the new President what he should do. Also hardly surprising is the fact that Obama would so blatantly blame the Pentagon even though they have sent him many options. In spite of Obama’s best efforts, a few folks remain at the Pentagon who believe the situation in Iraq should NOT be treated as a political exercise. They are more concerned about the safety of American troops than the legacy of Barack Hussein. Cleary unacceptable behavior.
