#7  isnt isis part of a sunni revolution of tribes/ex saddam boys/jihadis against iran/maliki?

obama is turning a blind eye to keep his gulf allies happy!

They call it sunni blowback which result in a more inclusive iraqi govt.

Its all part of the Saudi/Obama plan.

#4  In some cases, targets were tracked for a “long period of time” but then slipped away.

Like Slick Willie, and bin Laden. Time will probably tell they could've wacked the Grand Caliph and Galactic Overlord al-Baghdadi. Slick Willie had his interns; Champ has his golf.

#1  I know people are saying that the strategy is for Iran to win, and it does make sense.

But the more I see of how Obama and his team try to handle things like this, the more I see just plain old incompetence and arrogance.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
