Yes indeed, semi-retired President Obama has certainly gotten us into pickle.
Being incapable of making a decision, procrastination is a decision by itself. Not a good decision but a decision. You consciously make a decision to allow someone else, someone not necessarily acting your best interest to make the decision.
Here we have, by consensus, a weak, impotent President. He was warned, by all his advisers that leaving a vacuum in Iraq would lead to disaster with the vacuum being filled by ISIS. Which is what happened. Now ISIS has a Caliphate in the Middle East. President Obama drew a red line in the sand threatening Assad, and then backing down when Assad blatantly crossed President Obama's now pink line. President Obama said that Assad MUST go...now Russia is using their military strength keep Assad in power and will negotiate with ISIS.
We are on the brink of WW-III. At this point it is certainly no probable but is in the realm of possibility.
Then President Obama goes on TV after ISIS takes down a Russian jet airliner and actually tells us that ISIS is CONTAINED and being defeated. Less than 24 hours later ISIS launches a major, coordinated attack on Paris.
President Obama THEN goes on TV AGAIN, to tell us that we're just safe as can be, snug as bugs in a rug!
At the same time, we are put on a WORLDWIDE TRAVEL ALERT.
DOES ANYONE think we or the world are safe?
2seaoat concerns himself with...himself. However many others are killed by terrorists...that's their problem, shouldn't have been in that location.
One word describes this situation:
