Meanwhile, the Russians have a very different perspective on what’s going on and it’s very different from Obama’s: Russia Says U.S. Policies Helped Islamic State. Listening to Obama, you can see why he might have reached just that conclusion.
And let us not forget Sultan Knish, Obama wants to defeat America, not ISIS.
Obama responded to ISIS by denying it’s a threat. Once that stopped being a viable strategy, he began to stall for time. And he’s still stalling for time, not to beat ISIS, but to wait until ISIS falls out of the headlines.
That has been his approach to all his scandals from ObamaCare to the IRS to the VA. Lie like crazy and wait for people to forget about it and turn their attention to something else.
This is a containment strategy, but not for ISIS. It’s a containment strategy for America. Obama isn’t trying to bottle up ISIS except as a means of bottling up America.
He doesn’t see the Caliph of the Islamic State as the real threat, but the average American who watches the latest beheading on the news and wonders why his government doesn’t do something about it.
To the left it isn’t the Caliph of ISIS who starts the wars we ought to worry about, but Joe in Tennessee, Bill in California or Pete in Minnesota
We may live in the strangest times in the strangest society that has ever been.
