#2 Anyone who thinks Obama has a "strategy" doesn't know what a strategy actually is. Obama is a mouth. He mistakes words for reality and he is essentially a worthless coward incapable of doing DOING. He won't DO anything. He will talk about it.
It isn't a matter of changing his mind....he can't change his nature.

ISIL is safe as long as Obama is President. America doesn't HAVE a Leader. Besides the American people are wearing earrings when it comes to character. They don't believe in much except their own free ride on their new shiny gluteus.
Most Americans actually are Punks. Obama for a father and Nancy Pelosi as your mother.

#4 "A cause of that instability is failed international policy in Iraq and Syria."
NO. Islam is the sole cause of that instability. Unfortunately, other nations have their own agendas & therefore have failed to grasp what's going own.
The Hatfield-McCoy feud lasted about 30 years, killed about 30 people, and started over the ownership of a pig. The pan-Islamic outbreak started with a desire to rule the world, degenerated into centuries of inter-tribal feuds, has probably killed or enslaved millions, and they don't even believe in owning pigs.

#5 As long as the "strategy" is limited air strikes on vehicles ISIS/ISIL will continue. What will happen is ISIS/ISIL will control the cities because there is too much risk of collateral "civilian" damage.

#6 What the hell does this moron mean by "equitable political solutions".

That smacks of the old "if we can get them to like us they will stop" BS.

It has nothing to do with equitable political solutions or kumbayah, it is an ideological issue.

Islam is a totalitarian government cloaked in a religion.

Since the current spokesmen for the "religion" advocate death and destruction for the US and all of our allies and everyone who does not follow their religion, I would say we better mean business.

there is nothing we can do to change their mindset. Since they kill each other when they can't find a Jew or a Christian to kill, I would say there is a huge pathology in their thinking.

This guy doesn't get it.

The liberal media will never get it because good intentions and nice words don't do it in a world wide death struggle/war between two completely polar opposite mindsets.

#7 But, when it comes to promises, Obama has a very short memory.
