First of all, there is no strategy. He's an appeaser, and lobbing a few bombs here and there is meant to fool those Americans who are gullible into believing he's not the WEAK rudderless idiot that he is. The little bit here and there is meant to stave of the claim from his critics that he's weak on national defense.
It's nothing more than a few political advisors telling him to "LOOK" tough. The problem is the enemy isn't fooled like many Americans are, and they take his weakness as one big fat a** green light.
Weakness invites aggression, period.
ISIS has gained even MORE territory in Syria since we started bombing. Our bombing "campaign" is just a photo op campaign and I'm disgusted with the Generals who won't resign to bring light to the fact it's just a photo op campaign.
And here's what most people don't understand about dropping bombs. We HAVE to have people on the ground who can guide our planes EXACTLY to the right spot. My second Air Force assignment was in a forward air control squadron where the pilots were trained to FAC from the air and from the ground. I've been in the back seat of our planes during exercises watching them do it firsthand.
In our high tech world that seems surprising to most people but it's just a fact.
Obama needs to commit special operators and others who can do that. That means we need to have boots on the ground.
For those who continue to say it's not our problem, ISIS increases their membership by roughly 1000 a month. These gruesome videos might turn off "normal people" but for those extreme elements that support the side with the most resolve, this serves as a huge recruitment tool. At some point, even those slow to pick up will finally get it....and I understand people's reluctance....but not from the Commander in Chief.
