#1 .....international chain of command akin to that of the Allies in World War II.

You can bet your arse it won't happen under Champ's watch.

#2 ...Oh, yeah. I want some of our allies to have veto power over us going after the next set of monsters who leave three thousand dead in our streets.

#3 Oh yeah indeed, this is just another call for the international elites to run the show because they're so much smarter than the rest of us. Let them run the international WoT and before you know it they'll be in charge of climate change too. Because shut up, they said.

#4 sweeping, decades-long campaign

This all such Bull Crap!! IF, and that's a big if, the US and these putative allies would specifically define this "new" enemy we could get this over with in just a few years.

Announce non-PC RoE and follow through hard and fast and the problem would disappear like ice cream in KSA.

#5 The thing is he is right - something like SHAEF, militarily focused, would work for such a global effort. And he is very clear about who the enemy is, which would drag all these other countries into reality, at lest in terms of their military. This isn't an "internationalist", this is someone who actually understands the problem and is, unlike CIA, actually wanting to solve it instead of exploit it.

#8 How about we leave them in their cat box to figure it out for themselves?

#9 #5 The thing is he is right - something like SHAEF, militarily focused, would work for such a global effort.

Damn right he's right! Small, mission tailored(company+ size or smaller), specialized strike teams supported by AFSOF, USN strike platforms off-shore, MEDIVAC, and appropriate QRF augmentation (one cell in, one cell on stand-by)In-and-out, no prisoners unless directed. Maximum brutality, minimum exposure and time on the ground.

#10 EU (No not the European Union! ;^), that's a great plan but the sand bunnies don't stay in their own cat box. If they'd do that leave them alone.

#11 Plan? What Plan? Outside of polling and speeches featuring "me, myself, and I".

#12 "speeches featuring 'me, myself, and I'"

That's not a plan, that's just his "normal," self-centered behavior.

#13 Perhaps the Bammer will feel differently now given ...

* VARIOUS > [Independent.UK] ISIS THREATENS TO BEHEAD BARACK OBAMA ["inside the White House"] AND "TRANSFORM AMERICA INTO A MUSLIM PROVINCE".

* BREITBART > ISIS TO OBAMA: WE WILL BEHEAD YOU AND MAKE AMERICA MUSLIM.

Reminds me of some Nostradamus Quatrains = Madonna Videos.

VERSUS

* TOPIX, FREEREPUBLIC > US TO BEGIN RELOCATION OF SYRIAN MUSLIM REFUGEES AROUND COUNTRY.

Rise of "AMERABIA", as FreeRepublic labels it???
