The “O” ‘sterile’, ‘war from a distance’ is not going to work with THIS enemy.

Maybe he thinks if he keeps US military opposition nominal, grudging and at a ‘remove’, failure will not touch him …. and he can STILL say he tried.

The whole thing is typical of an irresolute and out–of-his-depth Liberal community organizer who finds himself in a REAL job with REAL accountability.

Liberals always want it BOTH WAYS! This works best for them because they are paralyzed with fear at having to take command of a situation, make a decision, then ACT responsibly and decisively.

I used to be like that… then I grew up!

Lets see, a committed, relatively low-tech enemy able to hide easily among the local population. An air campaign of fits and starts, intent on bombing them back to the negotiating table or from taking any more territory. "Leadership" that thinks it can direct the day to day operations and micro-manage the war from DC.

All that sounds familiar. I don't think it will work any better this time around than it did in SE Asia. But then, if liberals actually learned from history, they wouldn't be liberals and support such blatantly socialist/fascist ideals that have been proven to be bad over and over and over again.
