Fast-forward to any presented plans and the threads will change. As in:

WRONG. The outrage is this ISIS thing has been going on for a while. Hell, we were warned about them long ago. Did nothing. Obama has been golfing and on vacation, then comes back and actually admits he has no plan. He is the President, Commander in chief. Its his job to be prepared and to have a damn plan. Stop you stupid golf games and meet with advisers and military leaders. I can't believe this dope actually admitted to this.

Still waiting to see which way the political wind is blowing.

"Leadership by polls"

Good Point - does that mean we are making some progress?
Or does it mean that he did one of his "off teleprompter" gaffs again?

Obama is a man in Panic Mode. A very dangerous thing. A person in "Panic Mode" is very unstable.

In that you case - you must really be pleased, because I can't think of a single nation that does "count on us". It's not a matter of "shoulder to cry on" ..... it's a matter of a clear head that thinks in terms of not only what is best for the USA - but also what is best for the world and world economy.

The world has always referred to that as Leadership ..... sadly, there is none at this point.
There is only "Obama is all about Obama" and his Ideology and his Politics.

Really doesn't matter now does it? That's like arguing about the Civil War or the Viet Nam War. Many good men were killed in both. But none on either side were cowards. All fought bravely and with honor.

That is whole point. You want more good men killed? I sure don't.

If they were given the mission of totally destroying ISIS without having their hands tied behind their backs, YES. ISIS will kill you at their first opportunity. Convert or die, remember? They are religious zealots to the extent they are feared by other terrorists.

Giving his 'brothers' a heads up ?... "we don't have a strategy yet" = I've managed to obstruct them so far so carry on.

Since when do we tell our enemies when or what we are doing? if we have a strategy or not, its not something you broadcast. Thats like holding a hand full of aces in a poker game and telling everyone one ffs.

This man has no idea when to keep those loose lips shut !
