I don't know about a failure to act in Syria. I could never conclude that there were identifiable good guys and bad guys involved in the fighting in Syria. But it was beyond negligent and stupid to not use air power against ISIS as soon as it began invading Iraq, and all during the time they were convoying and attacking around northern Iraq.
Whatever happened to our drone force? They haven’t seemed to use them at all up until now. WTF are they for, if not to deter groups like ISIS/ISIL?
If this administration doesn’t pull its head out pretty soon, Israel is going to be almost completely surrounded by a radical massive Islamic state.
