#1 It hurts because it is true.

#3 The faster the MSM and those who support the emperor recognize he has no clothes, the better off (safer) the country will be. I suspect the "No strategy" comment indicates that the various factions who advises him don't agree on policy. I can't believe the military hasn't "gamed" this six ways to Sunday in the last 2-3 years. Obama is torn between the hawk camp and the anti-war bunch in his base. He is like the jackass between two bales of hay that starved to death trying to decide which bale to go towards. He is trying to balance politics, votes, and ideology against taking on ISIS. He is not George W. Bush; he really can't make a decision.

#4 Some slack please. For once in his confused, dilatory life he wasn't bullshi*ing anyone.

Of course the counter-argument would be, "No stategy" is in fact a strategy.

#5 Ace wH spokesdude says the strategy is to "mitigate the ISIS threat". (Mitigating is like mulling to the "folks" supporting the Champ.)

#6 The strategy is "Iran wins". How to implement it is the problem.

#7 The strategy is detente and alliance with Iran.

You've pretty much nailed it.

#9 From a political angle, he could be putting the Hildebeast in a bad [WTF do I do or say now] position, and setting the ball up for Elizabeth Warren.

#10 There is no strategy because the request was "how do we defeat our enemies without fighting".

#11 If Obama made a bad choice because he just triple chunked out of a sand trap, wouldn't the world be improving?
