The Washington Times<\/a> reports that the president went on “Face the Nation” yesterday to explain to Americans about his strategy to deal with the expanding reach of the terrorist organization al Qaeda which he had declared “decimated” a few short years ago – you know, before the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, the problem with ISIS is the fact that they are destabilizing a country that could spill over into some of our allies, like Jordan, and that they are engaged in wars in Syria where in that vacuum that\u2019s been created,\u201d the president continued. \u201cThis is going to be a global challenge and one that the United States is going to have to address, but we\u2019re not going to be able to address it alone. And as I said yesterday, what we can\u2019t do is think that we\u2019re just going to play Whack-A-Mole and send U.S. troops occupying various countries, wherever these organizations pop up. We\u2019re going to have to have a more focused, more targeted strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critics say the administration\u2019s targeted strategy has proved to be a failure, and lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle say years of progress in Iraq \u2014 beginning with the 2003 war through the withdrawal of American forces in 2011 \u2014 may be lost.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, actually, it doesn’t look as if they ever had a strategy to deal with the inevitable. It’s been six months since Fallujah fell to al Qaeda, so it doesn’t look like this administration looks past the end of it’s collective nose. Everything is a reaction to events. Even in domestic policy – look at their handling of the Obamacare fiasco on it’s launch date. Look how they handle the Veterans’ Affairs mess. They act more like a high school student government than the leader of the free world.<\/p>\n

The President says he’s not going to play “whack-a-mole” with al Qaeda, but that’s exactly what he doing in Iraq as well as Africa – a problem presents itself and he sends troops to pull his fat from the fire in social media criticism. And al Qaeda is laughing at us. The other day they photoshopped a picture of Michelle Obama<\/a> holding a sign that read \u201c#BRINGBACK OUR HUMVEE.\u201d<\/p>\n

We have no strategy anywhere in the world, not even in our own country – look at the thousands of illegal alien children piling up along the border. I guess it’s harder to run a country than it is to run an election campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
