The strategy was obvious from the very beginning, Cut-n-Run.

As reported by Robert Costa in The Washington Post, Republicans are blaming the president not only for allowing the Islamic State to develop as a terrorist organization in the first place, but also for failing to effectively combat the group as it has grown. Yet there appears to be some objection to Republicans calling President Obama out on his lack of a foreign policy strategy. Well, yeah. The Islamic State is 100 percent a creation of Obama’s policies. Plain and simple.

Was this really printed in the Washington Post? Amazing...
Published on a Friday before a three day weekend.
a great article indeed
“Maybe a drought will somehow inhibit the Islamic State and keep it from murdering the few allies we still have in the Middle East.”

Obama has definitely created one catastrophe after another in the Middle East. Every move he's made was the wrong move.
But I've always been highly skeptical about the proposed schemes to arm the thoroughly vetted "good rebels" in Syria. I don't think there are any good rebels the US could rely upon as a good ally in the fight against ISIS, now or in the past.
No. This is from the WP Blog website. Not the same thing at all as being published in the WP.
“Every move he’s made was the wrong move.” ????
From an Islamist perspective, quite the opposite from
wrong. I cannot dismiss from my mind the knowledge that Obama is Muslim, and its implications.. Does he consistently and persistently act in furtherance of Islamist goals? Of course not, but the net effect of his choices seems to be in that direction.
I blame global warming and unemployment......
Almost from the first people have been asking whether Obama can be that incompetent and dumb, or is he purposely trying to harm the interests of the US.
We might never know the answer, but everything he's done (and not done) in the Middle East has strengthened the most radical Moslems, and even brought some of them to power, except that Egypt eventually backfired on him and the MB was overthrown, much to Obama's displeasure.
But from the perspective of most Americans, his foreign policy has been one disaster after another. Of course, the far left and most Democrats will never admit what a disaster he is. And some of them like the disasters.
He had help from Ms. Lindsay and her boyfriend McEvil.
Neither George W Bush nor Barack Obama wrote the Koran so ISIS is not their fault.
“Anyway, the Republican voices seeking to replace Obama need to speak with urgency so that the rest of the world will take notice. Even if Obama continues to be a befuddled pushover on the world stage, perhaps their forceful statements — combined with those of our GOP congressional leaders — will send the message that our enemies and competitors should temper their ambitions because a new sheriff is only 20 months away.”
Will our enemies, Russia, China, and Islam “temper their ambitions” or, more likely, accelerate their timetables?
ISIS seems to be an icebreaker of sorts. If it takes the whole middle east and the next prez in power is serious, we will have to wipe this place. i think it is an instigated form of islam, but islam coming out the closet nevertheless, with all its decilry of serving sex and extravagance instead of God for all to see bare.
