What a concept. President Obama is showing the doubters what REAL leadership is. And real leadership does not mean rushing to a conclusion just to appease critics.

leadership at all.

isis is going to continue to grow and they will not stop until they are stopped. they have essentially taken huge parts of two countries and declared their own. the stronger they get, the more innocent people will die and the more difficult it will be to fight them.

isis has their eyes on Saudi Arabia - that will mobilize a lot of nations because of the threat to oil

because of current policy regarding Assad, and we also don't have much of a presence (military or intelligence) in Syria or ground helpers like the Kurds there.

While i agree with your premise that ISIS has to be stopped before they acquire even more land and slaughter more people i would not characterize our position as waiting around.

Instead of sending boots on the ground - which most of us are adamandly opposed to - we coordinated with the kurds and iraqis by providing air support and food drops.

As a result ISIS is losing ground, and this gives the president time to build alliances and do something sensible rather than get mired in yet another conflict. Several other countries are now participating in air drops.

Its a much better strategy than "shoot from the hip" favored by the neocons.

Sound like people I know of who believe in fade-in-fade-out do-gooder ghosts in grocery store parking lots. I have to turn into Nick The Bartender around those weirdos.

"Get me. I'm giving out wings."

Cha-ching. Cha-ching.

And that's ALL it is. The RW lunatic M$M that includes CNN, needs to manufacture controversy or boogiemen in order to fill their airtime with more blabbering from their airhead anchors. Otherwise they can't justify being on the air 24/7.
