#2 very sad. ultimately if we cannot win and it becomes an existential conflict we will have no choice but to cut off immigration from these areas, deport islamofascists and cease all trade with them. no more technology, plus we do not buy their oil

#3 All of this after the 'Fast and Furious' cock-up with firearms and the Mexican drug cartels and the Benghazi fiasco. Is no one in the regime taking notes ?

#8 It's such a consistent failure and such a pathetic attempt to roll over ISIS that I have to agree with Putin that the west just isn't trying.

#9 WTF is going on with western foreign policy?

If you were

a) Disengaging from the Middle East and Europe, while

b) Pivoting your foreign policy focus to Asia and

c) Catering to your political base in order to establish a post-presidential political machine, yet

d) Placating a mixed bag of erstwhile supporters (the center-left media, traditional party members and donors, internationalists, etc.)

What would you do differently?
