The only difference between Obamas ISIS strategy in defeating the Islamic terror group and Obamacare is that under Obamas strategy ISIS will likely be able to keep their doctors and their current coverage while under Obamacare you will not. Oh and it wont cost ISIS even a penny more to beat Obama than it would have previously.
Make no mistake though: Neither will work the way they are being sold.
Thats because Obamas strategy relies upon the extreme Islamic states --states that made ISIS possible-- forming into a coalition to defend us from the ISIS extremists that they have funded for years. Falling short of the all out war that Henry Kissinger urged upon Obama against ISIS the president-- of sortssays that the guys who failed to be able to stand up to Osama bin Laden when he was a stateless refugee the folks who couldnt defeat Saddam Hussein the states that couldnt stand up to the Muslim Brotherhood or Iran should suddenly become resolute.
And moderate.
Obamas strategy will fail because those people dont actually exist.
Were going to have to develop a moderate Sunni opposition" wished the guy who couldnt even get a budget passed as president that can control territory and that we can work with."
Develop a moderate Sunni opposition? That we can work with?
Because THAT strategy was NEVER tried before.
Why doesnt Obama just stick to things he knows more about like stopping the seas from rising Grammy-winning audiobooks and peace prizes?
What Obama lacks in executive ability he matches in a lack of originality.
Im not saying that Obama steals ideas that he claims to be his own Im just saying that the title of his next book ought to be Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Stole from Someone Else Mostly Communists and Marxists. But Its All Bushs Fault."
Obama was handed a moderate Sunni opposition in Iraq protected by U.S. troopscreated by George W. Bush-- and he forsook them. Its hard to be moderate when the extremists want to kill you with U.S permission.
And if Obama thinks that countries like Saudi Arabia are going to help us then hes crazier than I already know him to be. The Saudis are funding the extremists in the same way the Kaiser funded Russian socialists during the Great War. At this rate expect the Kaiser to eventually abdicate again.
Obama doesnt seem to get it" Ramzy Mardini an analyst with the Atlantic Council a Washington policy group told Bloomberg News by e-mail. No Arab leader wants to publicly join hands with the Great Satan and Crusaders in fighting a war in the Middle East."
Thats because guys like Obama have consistently told the American people and the rest of the world that America actually doesnt care about Iraq. And some peoplesome people in the Middle East and in America even believed him.
Im not one of them.
Heres the deal my fellow Americans: You either make a commitment to Iraq or you dont. You do it because the stakes are high enough for your own country that the expenditure of blood makes it in your national best interest.
We can have differences in how we got here but there is no doubt that we are at a Rubicon of sorts.
If as Obama has said this is not our fight then why are we fighting it?
But if as Obamas actions and words suggest we do have something at stake why didnt we take it seriously and stick to it when the situation was manageable in Iraq in 2009?
It will take that kind of commitment to win-- again.
Obama has said that in just meeting with world leaders at a NATO summit he knows his fellow heads of state understand the gravity of the threat that ISIS poses to everyone. I hope thats true.
Because clearly Obama understands nothing about the threat ISIS poses to the United States of America.
