Remember the old saying that came out of the Presidential elections "Are you safer today than 4 years ago?"
Well there is no doubt that Obama would most certainly fail that test.
The World is a Much More Dangerous Place.
Just 1 year ago Obama called ISIS the JV Team. I think that no matter what party you align with you can agree that Obama was dead wrong on that.
Not only is ISIS not the JV Team, but so far they appear to be much more than anyone has been able to deal with. At least way more than our President has been willing to handle. He declared that we were going after them and only hit them sporadically through the air. He claimed it would take time and we would need to be patient.
ISIS has appeared to get stronger and we have seem them incite attacks in France and Libya and Denmark. We sure don't appear to be making much headway.
Obama has said that this really is a fight that needs to be handled by Countries in the Middle East. I agree that they should be heavily involved. However we have the Strength and Technology to really make a difference in this war and we don't seem to be willing to really put the full might of the U.S. Military behind this.
If there was much doubt, this is basically turning out to be the start of a Modern World War. The United States has always been a leader and now it seems we are failing to be that. Jordan, Kurds and Egypt have all stepped up and gone full speed at ISIS. Yet we are hearing multiple reports that in their fight they have failed to get assistance from us. Not just arms, but intelligence and targeting information.
What is Obama doing? Does he really still think this is the JV?
