This is the same President that delayed the hostage rescue of those Journalists for over 9 months only to miss them by days.

Micro management cost us Vietnam, f’ed up the Iranian hostage rescue and is now going to cost us the war with ISIS/ISIL. Democrats never learn. They continue to believe that there is such a thing as “limited war” and “proportional responses”.

This does have epic fail written all over it, but that is what his presidency has been.

The point is to force the generals to come hat in hand and essentially beg for support. They should revolt.

“this has Epic Fail written all over it”

Methinks that is exactly the objective.

Wasn’t that the sort of policy that worked so well in Vietnam? LBJ and his press secretary approving bombing targets.

He cares a lot about his buddies....
He doesn’t want to bomb his true love.

What’s he gonna do to decide yes, or no; flip his Nobel Peace Prize medal?

I’d venture that more people, or at least as many, have died world wide thanks to the Won’s policies than under that evil bastard Bush. We know more US military personal have.

I hope the military has people following the president around on a golf course to get up-to-the-minute approvals for narrow time frame targeting opportunities.

The undocumented First Moslem is post Benghazi manpad xfer,
post Cole terrorists release, post Fast&Furious,
post ISIS creation, post SAM transfer in Egypt,
post open border, post release of 30,000 felons,
post infectious quartering with EV-68 and tuberculosis,
post 5 ISIS General release, and has supervised
the destruction of the US military
and failure to medically help vets while protecting
Hasan.

Is everyone asleep, dumb, or treasonous in Congress?

I betting on the Barry Soetoro we’ve come to ‘know & love’ over these many years. Its the same one who loves to admire the image in the mirror as he passes by. The one who knows best and demands we ‘eat our peas’. The one who has a ‘pen and phone’. So, its easy to imagine him sidelining the generals aside so he might prosecute this ‘war’ on his own. Really, Barry is just the embodiment of who and what liberalism is all about.

How about YOU take point, Mr. President? We’ll see how that works out.

This is the president who wouldn’t give the order to shoot the pirates in the Captn Phillips episode. The local commander made the decision. This is the president who acted like Harvey Milquetoast when giving/not giving the order to shoot Bin Laden.

He is determined to have the U.S. crash in wretched defeat before the mighty ISIS/Muslim forces, and the only way he can ensure that is by micromanaging the war in order to make sure it is waged incompetently.

He is just such a BAD ASS! With all his expertise, this should go real well. Err, maybe not so much.
