resident Obama took heat Monday for admitting he doesn't yet have a "complete strategy" in hand for training Iraqis to fight the Islamic State -- months into the coordinated campaign to defeat the deadly terrorist network.
"When a finalized plan is presented to me by the Pentagon, then I will share it with the American people," Obama said, adding, "We don't yet have a complete strategy."
House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul said in a statement: "It is no surprise this administration does not have a 'complete strategy' for training Iraqis to fight ISIS. What is surprising is that the president admitted it."
The president addressed the ISIS fight during a press conference on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Germany. He appeared to be speaking specifically to a new strategy for accelerating the training and equipping of Iraqi security forces. "We're reviewing a range of plans for how we might do that," Obama said.

Just give them a nuke or two, he has been trying to do that for a couple years elsewhere.
Zero doesnt have a complete strategy for anything. Michelle even picks out what clothes for him to wear every day.
Under fire as well he should be. As long as our government has sympathy for the radicalism of ISIS, we’re screwed.
He has no strategy for ANYTHING
Except for his plans for socializing everything he can, he is just winging it
I will never forgive the Republicans for not impeaching this bastard.
I will never forgive the Republicans for their collective aiding of this bastard.
The moron has to talk, even when he has nothing to say. Just say something that is worse than saying nothing.
Maybe “strategy” doesn’t work when troops just lose a couple thousand hummers and a sizable number of main battle tanks. How do you motivate a bunch of sympathetic cowards who work for a corrupt government? (Here, we promote them and increase benefits.)
If they cannot defend their turf, then let them live as slaves.
“”When a finalized plan is presented to me by the Pentagon”
Did you see what he did there? Its the pentagons fault!
“then I will share it with the American people”
Great. I’m sure ISIS will be glad to know the details as well.
There he goes again, never taking responsibility. It’s the Pentagons fault.
It’s his entry into “intellectual honesty.”
I never forgive those of you who sat home in the 2012 general election because you didn't like the republican nominee who would have been a 1000 times better than that arrogant pos
nothing is ever his fault. He just can not take any responsibility of his failing actions.
King Barry is just trying to run out the clock so that ISIS won’t be his problem any more.
I worked with war plans, there are war plans for just about anything. Usually written by the beltway bandits, but they are knocked out and updated on regular basis.
Exactly. This miserable little rich brat who grew up in well healed surroundings in Honolulu with his mother who was a university professor, his grandmother a vice president at the Bank of Hawaii, and the grandfather who ran one of the area’s more upscale furniture stores. The people who wanted him in the White House were the ones who cared more about things like Oprah Winfrey and college basketball pools than they did about keeping the world and America safe from ISIS thugs.
I do not agree with not at least trying to get rid of the corrupt bastard, but I am satisfied that there is no reason to argue with you on this.
As for staying home in 2012, I sure as hell didn’t, but this time around I flat don’t care. If my guy doesn’t get nominated ( ~~Cruz, OR LOSE~~ ) , this dying country can go to hell in a handbasket for all I care.
“I never forgive those of you who sat home” — In 2012, I was very upset with those that stayed home. I still kinda am, but I can now appreciate how they came to the attitude that they believed they needed to have. I lost a very good internet friend over the 2012 “staying home” mess, she is a wonderful intelligent and patriotic lady who simply followed her heart. I regret having been rude to her.
I know that you don’t like this, Kaslin, I also believe that even though we disagree on this and I believe your intentions are honorable, I have flat had it, I am so disgusted with what this country has become, I am no longer interested in compromises. Feel free to put me down as a lost cause.
I will either get to vote for Ted Cruz, the only true Conservative in this race or I will vote for nobody at all —I’ll stay home and watch it all burn.
I know that my attitude on this makes me a jerk in your mind, but I can no longer help it.
The corruption in government is eating the heart and soul right out of our once great country.
Nothing is ever that bastards fault.
The Pentagon has a strategy, but Mr. Golf (or Goof?) has no idea what it is. He’d have to listen to others instead of the melody of his own voice.
