-strategy-yet-for-isis-in-
Actually it would probably astonish and terrify people to learn how little our President really cares about what happens in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He doesn't believe America has any right or interest to be in any of those countries in the first place. So what happens there happens as far as he is concerned. Things will eventually work out by themselves according to his view of history. And besides, there are oceans between the
USA and ISIS so how will they figure out how to get at us? Libya and Ukraine are also places we have no business getting involved in either in his estimation. Continuing the transformation of the USA occupies a much higher priority for President Obama than any foreign policy issue (save for disarmament), no matter how threatening to peace and stability they might appear to be to the rest of us. Naturally it is much more comforting for people to imagine that President Obama is "in over his head" and therefore might eventually be persuaded to take more appropriate action (as even Jimmy Carter was after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan) than to believe that our President has made up his mind on the matter and doesn't intend to get involved in any meaningful way.
"President Obama is facing intense criticism for admitting Thursday "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with Islamic State militants in Syria, despite warnings from top military advisers and others that the group must be confronted on that side of the border."
"The president made the comment during a briefing with reporters in which he overtly played down the prospect of any imminent military action in Syria. He tried to temper speculation that he was about to roll out a "full scale" strategy, one that might expand the current, limited airstrike campaign in northern Iraq."
"I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet," Obama said."
