Hat tip Breitbart
Wasn't John Kerry simply marvelous before Congress this week? With all those Code Pink crazies behind them he gave them a piece of his mind. He made it crystal clear that we must destroy ISIS. Then he told one inquisitor that we were indeed at war.......
Against the enemies of Islam.
That's right.

As to the first point, I don' t know how we are going to do it solely from the air and by training those 5,000 "moderate" Syrian rebels who will then go up against the 30,000-strong ISIS and the Syrian forces of Bashar Assad. Oh yes. I forgot about the 50 anonymous countries that we have "on board".
As to the second point.......
I have no clue.

Most all of the Generals in the Armed Forces have told Obama that they need "boots on the ground" to wipeout ISIS. Retired Generals who have nothing to loose at this time, have been severely critical of Obama and his limited response to the ISIS threat and the fantasy of 50 countries joining the U.S.
First, Obama has proven to the world that he is a poor leader, has no clear foreign policy and makes huge mistakes in his foreign policy decisions. Second, Not backing the NATO countries, the weak response to Russian evasions in Ukraine, the red-line fantasy, letting Iran keep the nuke development are only the tip of the iceberg.
No Middle East country will truly trust his flip-flop diplomacy. They will fear an ISIS retaliation if the weak U.S. effort fails to deal with ISS. Just saying that ISIS is not Islamic raises the red flags.
History shows us the results of a true military campaign in the first Iraqi war, pushing them out of Kuwait. Two-hundred thousand coalition fighters finished off the Iraqis in a matter of weeks and everyone went home. It was finished, which should be a lesson to Obama.

I'd call his choice of words clever cooptation.
As for whether there is much we can do that will make things better, possibly not.
When we see some locals actually taking on ISIS, we should lend them a helping hand from the air. But we should never have the hubris to think we can go in there and fix things.
