25 air strikes and they hit a truck?

#3 The United States really has no comprehensive directed Strategic Policy concerning ISIS, The United States therefore has no apparent GOAL ( because it has no consistent POLICY).

It has no Policy because it has no PRINCIPLES. The US is REACTIVE ( that means it has lost the initiative to the Enemy ) because it has no Goals or Principles. It has neither of these qualities BECAUSE it has no WILL. ( also sometimes called "balls").

It has no balls because it has no Leadership. The Pentagon is playing whackamole and there is simply no one in Charge who is anything but a show me help me what to do ( please ) hack.
Obama is an incompetent. ( let's just be honest about it ). The United States elected an opportunistic suit who doesn't have a damn clue.

We HAVE no Strategy because we have no Goal. We have no Goal because we have no Principles. We have no Principles because we have no Leaders. We can NOT win without a Strategy backed by Will and Principles.

I have a good Idea...let's all DIE for nothing and believe in gibbering Hope and Change.
An entire Nation of flatulent effete direction-less five star suckers.

#4 If there aren't chains of secondary explosions, you're not hitting the right targets.

#5 What's more to the point is that they remembered to ask Putin "mother may I".

Actually the administration does have a goal, and a policy. They, however, don't involve fighting the Islamic State.
