<<< Never mind the 70,000 who have been slaughtered by ISIS since Obama declared Iraq to be "strong, stable and sovereign," or, the 150,000 murdered in Syria since Obama's "red line." Never mind China threatening war with the U.S., Russia's expansion into Eastern Europe, or the thousands of Christians murdered by Boko Haram. "Cut and run" is the only thing a coward's country has as a path to peace. Embarassing, to say the least.
Understand that over the Memorial weekend, Obama bragged about this past weekend being the first in 15 years in which we were not at war, anywhere in this world.
Amazing to the point of manifesting mental illness. He pulled out troops out of Iraq in Dec of 2011, because Iraq was "strong, stable and sovereign," or words to that effect. In doing so, in claiming credit for winning this war, he set himself up to own the current mess. Since he made that statement, 150,000 have been slaughtered in Syria and 70,000 have been murdered by ISIS, in Obama's Iraq.
And we all know how "Obama's War" (in Afghanistan) turned out . . . . . . . . . a demonstrable failure. He laughed at the mention of ISIS, and pretended that it posed no threat at all, calling them THE "JV team," as you all know. He bragged about Yemen being the model of success for his Middle East policy. He invited the Muslim Brotherhood to Cairo, in the spring of 2009, to sit in on his speech at the University in Cairo. Only last week, Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood leader elected as President of Egypt, four years ago, during that rebellion, was sentenced to death by the Egyptian courts.
Obama brags about his "60 member coalition" fighting ISIS, but has yet to give the list of those nations and what they are doing in the war against ISIS . . . . . . . . . of course, we all know, there is no such coalition, no such list.
His nuclear ambitions for Iran are well documented, his never ending negotiations with that terrorist nation a clear declaration of his actual intent for Iran and the region.
Having said all of the above, the answer to the question in our headline, is rather obvious. He is not trying to destroy ISIS. How can we know this?
Well, compare the past three wars in that part of the world: During Desert Storm, we flew 1125 bombing missions per day; during the Iraqi invasion and subsequent 5 year war, we flew 800 daily missions during the heat of the battle; going back to Clinton's war in Kosovo, we flew 135 missions per day. Obama's war versus ISIS? We fly 14 missions per day, and 10.5 of those 14 sorties, on average, see our fighter jets return, not having fired a single shot or dropped a single bomb . . . . . . . so goes Obama's personal management of the war effort.
When you are flying four actual bombing missions per day into Iraq and Syria, combined, the claim that "we are winning the war" is nothing short of mental.
