Obama does look a lot like my avatar to be sure. Neither one was a strong leader.
Getting rid of ISIS will take not just a strong leader, but one who pays attention to detail and works out what the unintended consequences may be. Take the idea of wiping ISIS out, for example. Like taking out Saddam Hussain, it would leave a power vacuum. Who would fill that vacuum?
Yep. Taking out Hussein was a cake walk, it required taking on his uniformed and visible army sorely inadequate to protect and defend him against the US military. The cost of civilian lives for the US to neutralize the Islamic state in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt and wherever else they are operating will be indefensible, the world won't stand for it. It is my opinion that USFP in the ME that both the Bush and Obama administrations are responsible for, is quite possibly a Jeanie that can't be put back in the bottle, that is going to continue to grow, and is going to be a far FAR greater problem then Hussein, Mubarak, Gaddafi or Assad would ever have posed to the United States of America. We have really screwed the pooch on this one. And all partisans do (not yourself) is point the finger of blame back and forth when in fact it's shared blame!!!
