Wars are so routine to American political culture that generating popular frenzy is a wrote exercise. The Current Occupant is just saying no, but even his generals
contradict him in public. In remarks to the press, General Jack Keane, a retired four-star who worked on the Iraq "surge" in the last administration implied bombing runs were not enough to defeat ISIS. General Martin Dempsey of the Joint Chiefs also expressed an apparently different view on the issue of war against ISIS than his boss in testimony before the Senate Armed Services committee. He seemed to predict the failure of the US supplied Iraq army and Kurdish militia to defeat the jihadis by saying, "He [the Current Occupant] told me to come back to him on a case by case basis."
The fact is American are already fighting on the ground under the flag of the CIA. A cunning plan? NOT! 49 of the captives held by ISIS are Turks from their former consulate in occupied Mosul. So don't expect too many boots from Turkey, revolution-torn Egypt or Jordan for that matter which is too close to the shooting in Syria. It is more than ironic that the most effective enemies of the Sunni loonies are Iran, Syria and Hezbollah. All of these organizations are on the official US enemies list. Independent Maine senator Angus King evaluated the situation: it is the "wack-a-mole approach" to anti-terrorism. The Obamarama show is tanking because of a war it inherited, so what do the nearly leaderless American people have to look forward to:
