Spot on.

If Obama wants a strategy, he can just read your post.

STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT!

How exactly do you think these Jihadis are getting into Syria and Iraq?
Here's a hint ..... they begin their journey from the USA by booking airfare to Ankara, Turkey.

Turkey is funding these Head Choppers ...... odds are not great , that they are going to "bomb" them.

Actually China cares, they're having some issues with folks like this too. But you want someone who is really starting to freak out? The Saudis. First it was kinda funny funding them because hey, they're the same religion.....but now ISIS has started making mention of taking Saudi, and the leadership is freaking out, while some of their citizens are helping fund it.....

Now we are in it deep.
What strategy was that?

To remain in Iraq in eternal perpetuity?

I know that's the Republican strategy, but that's not feasible. Sorry.

President Golfer is too busy to develop a strategy. He's already busy getting all His 35 y/o illegal children enrolled in high school; He's got a fund raiser tomorrow night; and He has a round of golf planned for Saturday. Give the guy a break!

What exactly do all of you armchair generals think our strategy should be?
Allow our military commanders the ability to hunt them down wherever they may be found and destroy them completely without restriction. That is the correct strategy should be.

Situation is chaos and another 150 people were executed by the Head Choppers. I guess we are waiting for the next video of a Journalist that has lost his head. News is bad coming from Russia's move on Ukraine, and not so good with the Chinese buzzing our planes.

On the upside for Obama - he has another Fund Raiser this weekend and a wedding, hope he can work in a relaxing Golf Game so he can "think" and "clear his head".
Give him credit he finally said something that is not a lie

Koreans, Germans, and Japanese have COMPLETELY different culture and mentality compare to the radical Muslims.

Islamic extremism is driven by an interpretation of Islam that believes that Islamic, or sharia, law is an all-encompassing system proscribed by Allah (Arabic for “God”) which must be instituted by a global Islamic state. As such, Islamic extremists consider it to be the only truly legitimate form of governance.
