Obama: 'No complete strategy' yet to defeat ISIS
- Thread starter pepsicock

"We don't yet have a complete strategy because it requires commitments on the part of the Iraqis,"
Some of you are way smarter than me because I don't know how we're going to do it. A full scale war? We've changed sides so many times I've lost count. Let's see...
Iran, friend until free elections caused a leader to be empowered who kicked out our oil companies.
Iran, friend again when he helped the Shaw depose the elected leader.
Iran, enemy when a Revolution ousted the Shaw, remains enemy.
Afghanistan, friend when Soviets invaded including friends with All Qaeda
Irag, friend when at War with Iran including taking Iraq off the list of countries that sponsor terrorism
Afghanistan, Soviets flee, Taliban takes over...we...don't know...for sure...
Iraq, war over, now invades Kuwait, enemy
Iraq pilots flee to Iran, thought they hated each other?
Iraq, neutral when we leave Hussein in power but under our watchful no fly eye.
Al Qaeda, enemy bombing embassies and eventually the U.S. Cole because they want us out of the Middle East.
Iraq, enemy again after 9/11
Afghanistan, enemy after 9/11
Al Qaeda, enemy after 9/11
Iran, still the enemy
Reminder, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, part of coalition on our side in First Gulf War.
War! Afghanistan and we kick the crud out of the Taliban, many flee to our ally Pakistan
War! Iraq. This time we take out Hussein.
(My fingers are getting tired)
Peace! Sort of. Afghanistan our friend if not for nasty Talban raids.
Peace! Sort of. Iraq our friend if not for nasty IED's and that Sunni, Shiite, Kurds things we can't figure out.
Egypt, Libya and to an extent Syria fall under social media influenced rebellion. Down go two of the three.
Got Him! Osama Bin Laden killed in our Pakistan, our ally, who we can't trust to help or even tell what we are doing.
Iraq, who the #$$ knows, friend, enemy, neutral? Wants too much ability to prosecute our soldiers under their laws to make it feasible to stay.
Iran, there's this bomb thing. At least they are consistently an enemy but now ISRAEL is po'd at us because they want Iran kicked around...now!
Syria, This thing called ISIS, an offshoot of Al Qaeda has popped up aims to take parts of Syria and Iraq and make a MOFOing religious nightmare state.
Syria, we can't help finish the insurgency because we don't know who is better or worse than what is already there.
Sunnis in Iraq (We used to like/hate/like/hate them are on the hate side again as they join up with ISIS for fear of the Shiites.
Iran is Shiites and we kind of approach them about fighting ISIS...but that's kinda stupid and we know it.
Iraq, F'ing annoying as heck as the Shiite leader won't work together with the Sunnis or Kurds and that don't help at all.
And, here we are. I probably misspelled something. And I know I missed some steps.
I'm glad some of us are smart enough to figure it out.

Barack Hussein Obama is a complete embarrassment, his only strategy overseas was to curtsey and run.
The strategy is simple. Total violent chaos so we can keep selling our top product: weapons.
What amazes me is not that our weapons so often find their way into the hands of those we or our so-called allies are fighting but that so few of them have fallen into the hands of domestic groups. Is it just a matter of time or are we actually that good at controlling what happens in our "free" country?

Well, it isn't 1956 for one thing. The world doesn't revolve around two super powers. ISIS will be defeated when there is a resolution in Syria, Iraq stands up for itself and resolves it's internal problems, and when the Gulf States and Turkey get off their dead asses. Other than that it's all Obama's fault.
Translation = He realizes Berries is inept and impotent as a world leader, he is a joke.
