 File under: Islamic State 

#1 He doesn't know what to do, so he does nothing. Being a politician, he claims that nothing is something.

He is of the opinion that it's his job to wear nifty outfits, give state dinners, and hobnob with celebrities. He's much more interested in getting transgendered people into the military than he is in using military power as a tool in the national interest.

#5 Hey - give "The Messiah" a break - it's obvious that all those golf balls aren't going to hit themselves.

#6 Obama's heritage to the American People:
1) The establishment of the ISIS empire in Iraq and the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in the middle east.
2) The establishment of Iran as a "kosher" nuclear threshold power in the middle east.
3) The crawling alienation of Israel, the only democratic state in the middle east. The Israeli Street and government do not trust Obama any more as it becomes clear that Obama intends to sacrifice Israel and befriend the Iranians.

Are we witnessing the decline of the USA as a world power?
The vacuum in the ME will suck into itself the Iranians, the Russians and (maybe) the Chinese. When and if a new American president will want to reverse the situation it may already be too late.

#7 We never get coverage of Obama on the golf course but I am sure the caddy takes the blame for all of the hooks and slices.

#8 What's your strategy? I got nothing! That's his answer? PUTZUS is a bonehead to communicate this to our enemies: Incompetent or wants ISIS to spread seems to be the options. Of course, if we had a real smart POTUS, he might be bleeding both Shias (Iran) and Sunnis (ISIS) and thinning the herds but I doubt it--even if this were true you wouldn't want to communicate it to the world. Nah, he just wants to finish out the term without doing much but work on his golf score--maybe spread a little racial unrest.

#10 General, you don't understand. He considers you more of an enemy than ISIS.

#11 General, you should have resigned and saved your honor rather than look the fool.

It's your word against the One and there are many people out there predisposed to hate the military and worship the one. You lost before the discussion began.

#12 This is what happens when a bureaucracy drone is elected to a position of leadership.

A special shout out to those 'pubs who sat out the last election rather than vote for Romney.

#13 ...and a shout out to the Trunk establishment that made sure you only had a choice between a Democrat and a Socialist.

P2k, a bit redundant, no ?

#15 Back before 'modern' history, when there were Trumans, Humphreys, (Scoop) Jacksons and the like, there were actually classical liberals in the Democratic Party. Now they can only be found in too many numbers in the Trunk establishment after the Socialist purge that started in the 70s. Having lost their original political nest they've taken over the other one. Surrendering got them were they are now. However, they continue that failed policy today expecting a different outcome or just the crumbs from the table.

#17 an overwhelming majority of the Americans agree with Obama that he has no strategy to defeat ISIS

Our President has finally brought the country together.

The incompetent ones ?

#20 I think we're dealing with a lot of Clinton Appointees at the top of the officer corps. That would leave a layer of competent ones from the W era waiting their turn.

In one sense that's not going to be too many. The question is in 18 months who the next prez replaces them with. The next one should form a team of some of the retired/fired who demonstrated military combat competency on the battlefield and begin making lists. As demonstrated by the present occupant, senior GOs serve key positions at the prez's discretion and the Senate's approval. Out the managers and 'yes men' that there are too many of and put in people who know how to fight and have demonstrated it. You'll see the biggest turn over since the start of WWII. Have a lot of checked boxes but no combat experience? tough luck.

#22 As per #3, the spread of ISIS/ISIL is a means to a larger or bigger end, namely the Regional, Trans-, + Geopol expansion of Amerika's new BFF + future OWG Co-Superpower sibling IRAN.

#23 Sezzes it all ...

* TOPIX > [Weekend] ITS UNTENABLE FOR US [Obama] TO SEAL A NUCLEAR DEAL WID IRAN WHILE ALSO ARMING ITS OPPONENTS.

Ditto the Bammer = USA vee PUTINIST RUSSIA + IRAN, OTHER?

POTUS Obama being hypocritical, + its just not good or proper OWG Globalist Co-Superpower Sibingness = Globie MilPol/Geopol "Parity".

["GET SMART"S AGENT 86 MAXWELL SMART = "ITS JUST NOT NICENESS" here].

VERSUS

Unilateral US-led "Limited Authorization" for Unilateral US-led Limited Military Force/Military Action(s) as per Unilateral US-led Anti-US OWG Globalist Limited War(s)???
