There is good reason to believe that President Barack Obama will not conduct an effective battle against the Islamic State. As Townhalls Katie Pavlich explains, several generals have stated that his current plan will not accomplish his stated goal, and he has consistently rejected sound military advice regarding Iraq and Afghanistan. He and his subordinates obfuscate the nature of the enemy and the battle, and are not indicating that they are serious about defeating the Islamic State.

Our fearless leader always follows the advice of that brilliant military strategist Valerie Jarrett. Ugg!
No. I do not like where he is going. This person needs to locked up and the key thrown away.
He would have been fragged in a week.
“Would You Follow President Obama Into Battle?”
LMFAO KMFA owe bama
They are following an objective that “tiptoes” through the effort of fighting an enemy. I think their main concern is the political fall out if things go bad, which they do in any war effort.
So, I’m thinking, if I’m the enemy, all I have to do is inflict some short term damage to the USA. Shoot down a plane, capture a pilot. Abduct some Americans and use as hostages, etc etc. Do anything to put Obama on the defensive...and force hime to either escalate or back off, KNOWING as the whole world now knows, that he will BACK OFF and run as soon as it gets hot in the kitchen.
It’s roughly 10AM EST. Has anyone heard anything from ASSAD regarding our bombing? All he has to do is threaten to shoot our planes down, and Obama will hi tail out of Dodge.
WHy do you think he’s hand picking the targets personally? Because he doesn’t want to take any chance of us losing a plane or soldiers. Problem is, he’s conducting this politically.
I’d be surprised to learn that he’s actually having an impact on the enemy. Like Clinton, he’s probably bombing empty shacks and desert.
I see him as being a the kind of leader that will take down with him anyone close enough, whether they’re following or not.
It’s a trick question. He leads from behind. So you would constantly be running away.
Into the women’s department for girlie clothes?
I will never do anything this president wants.
he is an enemy of the state and I defy anyone to prove otherwise
do I think he’s looking to sacrifice more of our guys and gals into the meat grinder to weaken us? definitely.
next up... Ebola. in years gone by, the world would be talking about quarantining the cities or countries. now, we let their citizens fly anywhere they want and are going to dump our guys into the hot zone to be infected. insanity
Kinda what I was thinkin’. Or at the very least suffered a dibilitating splinter, uh, I mean shrapnel wound “earning” him a purple heart and an evac back to the states. :>}
Wrong question. The right question is:
Is Obama an effective Commander-In-Chief of the armed forces of the United States of America?
And the answer to that is.....no.
He spends a tremendous amount of time golfing and fund-raising, but I don’t see him trying to educate himself on military matters. He just doesn’t care. He should spend one hour a day improving his knowledge of military affairs. I recommend he start with tutoring by Victor Davis Hanson.
I cannot follow him who will not lead.
The man isn’t a leader. He is a follower. Just look at how he follows Valerie Jarrett’s orders.
Hell NO......
Not just ‘No’ but ‘Hell no’!
Obama has only taken action because of his sinking poll numbers. He hopes to project strength during the rest of his term so he will not be bothered by mundane foreign policy questions. He’s above it all so he thinks. \
There is no plan.
