Via Ace, who notes that this is part of a broader “Morning Joe” narrative lately that imagines Obama as some sort of warrior-poet whose endless golfing and fundraising demonstrates imperturbable resolve in the face of terror. Same with the “we don’t have a strategy” line at yesterday’s press conference. Maybe that was just a Clausewitzian ploy contrived to get ISIS to lower its guard before O rolls out his devastating, multi-point plan to tighten the noose. It’s possible.
Also possible: This guy really doesn’t have a strategy.
His remarks came after days of heated debate inside the top levels of his own national security bureaucracy about how, where, and whether to strike ISIS in Syria. But those deliberations – which included a bleak intelligence assessment of America’s potential allies in Syria — failed to produce a consensus battle plan…

As if Obama read the Art of War.....LOL
Golf optics and no strategy. Right, genius and “ one cold bastard.”

There is a vast difference between too stupid to have a plan, vs being so good as to not need one.
Sub Tzu describes Obama well.
Joe hasn’t had a clear vision since he stuck his head up Obama’s nether regions.

Joe will be getting a tingle next.
Hey, Moron Joe:
Remember Lori Klasutis?
You had a great strategy there.

I think we need to take up a collection for Scarborough's new Knee Pads. His old ones are worn with much and repeated use. I think the heavy duty repeat usage model is what he needs. I would hate for his knees to be hurt by repeated in the position adoration of "The One."
