ISIS can be defeated, but it will take much greater will on the part of President Obama, an exponentially more robust air campaign with more reasonable rules of engagement and Arab ground forces to get the job done, according to retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney.
McInerney spent 35 years in uniform and rose to the role of assistant vice chief of staff, the number three position in the Air Force. He also served as a combat pilot in Vietnam and as vice commander of U.S. Air Forces Europe. He said the first step is for Obama to admit the U.S. currently has no strategy.
"He doesn't have a strategy and that's why, 16 months after we started the air campaign, we're still at it," said McInerney, who compared America’s current policy of a few sorties a day to what was accomplished back in the Gulf War in 1991.
"Desert Storm was 600,000 troops against Saddam Hussein’s forces," he said. "We had a 43-day air campaign and a 100-hour ground campaign. I don't understand what the president's strategy is. I don't know what the president's purpose is. He just has not exhibited any desire to take ISIS out."

That should be pretty obvious to the world by now.
No shit genius.
Occasionally you think maybe there’s hope for us, then you see some idiot’s statement like that.
I could have told you that.
Soros, 0, Satan, and the Illuminati are working overtime to ensure that ISIS becomes as big and dangerous as possible to bring about the worldwide caliphate so their "boy" can rise to power. Good thing we know the end of the story and that The Son of Man is coming back to kick his butt...: )
Zer0 thinks we are the evil ones and that ISIS is justified in taking us down.
Obama hasn’t tried to take ISIS out.
And Obama isn’t planning on taking ISIS out.
He is planning on taking America out.
Anyone who doesn’t see that is either drinking the Kool-Aid or an idiot.
He took it down. But the amazing thing is that he was stupid enough to even concoct it and hit the Send command.
Delusional doesn’t even begin to describe it. And then Hillary claiming muslims have nothing to do with terrorism.
I guess they figured 7 years of lying worked well for Soetoro, so why not keep going with the shtick.

For real!
It's going to get mighty ugly beforehand though. :-)
Yes, yes it is. The Tribulation and especially the Great Tribulation will put horrendous on an unprecedented scale.
Jesus confirms that.
Oh, he knows, all right. He just doesn't want to lose his pension by clearly stating what he knows to be true.
It's up to those of us who are awake to awaken as many as we can to the real truth about Islam. Luckily others have done much of the heavy lifting for us by providing research, websites, and videos about the true nature of radical Islam.
Yep.
Beware the attempts by liberal churches to identify islam as an “Abrahamic faith”. It’s codified in the doctrine of one big one, too.
What else would you expect from a man child who spent his first three years in school in a Madrassa memorizing the satanic verses of the Koran, who thinks the most beautiful sound in the world is the evening call to “prayer,” and who had a Moslem father and stepfather??
I expect him to come out of the islamic closet shortly after the inauguration of the next President.
A Lance Corporal could have told us that.
He is one of only a few who will speak out. Must be a lot of pressure being put on our retired brass to keep their mouth's shut.
I expect him to fully take the mask off before then. Probably before the elections next November - hope I’m wrong. We shall see.
