Obama desperately needs a sense of history and a strategy

In last week's televised address, President Barack Obama outlined his four-part plan for "degrading and destroying ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy" that will demand many partners inside and out of the region.

Sadly, as with this administration's strategies for Afghanistan-Pakistan and the more recent strategic pivot to Asia, this plan is currently incomplete and in some ways flawed.

“A really, really well thought-out strategy-thing to manage what is Bush’s fault anyway because he created terrorism by fighting it in the first place”.

Why Obama’s ISIS strategy is doomed to fail...

That statement assumes his goal is to beat ISIS.

If his goal was to tolerate and help ISIS and others like them without looking treasonous his strategy may be correct.

Americans, in all their wisdom, elected a president who is not American in any sense of the word. In fact, he claimed to be a “citizen of the world” when he ran the first time. The only time I have ever noticed him speaking in a sincere, fervent manner, is when he is talking about Islam. Other than that, he has all the zip of a professor reading from an economics textbook (when he is not campaigning, of course).

With his background?
With his upbringing?
With his ‘parentage’ (I use that term very loosely).

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too late, now.

Obama desperately needs a BRAIN! He also is in desperate need of an EGOECTOMY.

Much easier to fight the electron microscopic virus than the human virus. Time to move on already.

Obama has a sense of history. It’s “whatever was done by the United States under a white President was bad.”
