Reagan's strategy in the Cold War was simple: "We win, they lose".

Barry's got 4 options and needs weeks to make a decision in the middle of a hot war. Sheesh!

So, next he tacks them all to a dart board, puts on a blindfold, and begins hurling darts at his options.

My turn;)

1. Send only muslim GIs to Afghanistan
2. Disband the military and institute Civilian Americorps with only muslim recruits.
3. Fire all State Governors and send State militia to Iraq
4. Put Helen Thomas in McChrystal’s office as an aide de camps.
