Senate to grill administration on ISIS strategy
Posted: Nov 11, 2014
President Obama, in that post-shellacking Nov. 5 press conference, said he was “going to begin engaging Congress over a new authorization to use military force (AUMF) against ISIL,” also known as Islamic State, and stop relying on law passed after 9/11 to justify the latest combat.
It’s something he said he’d do nearly 18 months ago, but neither Obama nor Congress made a significant move. No hearings were held. But after the news conference — seven weeks after the bombing campaign began Sept. 22 — Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) issued a statement saying it “was incumbent that Congress take the lead” in this.

It shouldn't take them very long to spell out their strategy. - nm

One Of The Most Serious Deficits In Obama's ISIS Strategy.Mar 25, 2016
We all know that Obama has an almost pathological aversion to prisoners when it comes to terrorists. You don't get intel from dead bodies. Capture is ALWAYS preferable, especially when it comes to people in high positions, to killing them with drones and special raids. So, they're bragging about killing the ISIS "#2" guy. Don't brag, Obama. We've shown time and time again that these people are merely replaced. If you'd captured him, I' ...

No frivolous spending here. No spending period. Typical.

The Republican StrategyFeb 19, 2010
It takes awhile to make sense of the entrails of the Republican Party, partly because they are just so toxic, but also because it's actually difficult to comprehend that an American political party can so deliberately sabotage its own government and nation. But after observing their behavior and their policy of, "Just Say No" -- sometimes to their own suggestions, one can only surmise that they long ago left the business of governing and have instead agreed to a covert game plan of destruc ...
Strategy - Good ArticleMay 24, 2010
This article is dated 5/24 and I don't see anything here regarding it. I just read it and thought it was a pretty good analysis. I do think campaigning against Bush is a wrong move. Especially for someone who keeps claiming to be a forward thinker. I've never heard this administration take blame for any of the decisions they are making. Just whenever something they do backfires, their solution is to blame Bush. I think Americans are smart enough and ...

Weird Democratic Strategy ...maybe? Jun 23, 2014
Has anyone else noticed the new Democrat strategy of trying to connect with the people in this country not making a million or more a year? Hilary did the "we were broke when we left the White House" story and now Biden is thanking us for taking care of him? Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing ANY politician does or says is not part of a grand scheme. It just really angers me that they pretend to even start to know how it is to live paycheck to paycheck and want us to feel sorry ...

Operation Overlord, the most successful amphibious invasion in history, was in no small part successful due to the most effective deception and disinformation campaign in history.

What This Administration Is Doing For YouMay 13, 2017
This lying, corrupt administration is now trying to remove historic designation from many national monuments and open them up to oil and gas drilling. As well, the congress has recently passed the Regulatory Accountability Act which says that the best regulatory option for inspecting our food is the one that is cheapest for the industry. So the next time you smell oil and gas coming from a national monument and the next time there is an outbreak of E. coli or Listeria in your area - ...

Donald Trump won't reveal his plan to defeat ISIS because he hasn't got one.

Not only is he vile and vulgar but he is an utter and complete fraud with absolutely no qualifications to be POTUS. ...

I've read a lot of bickering about this topic and yet I have yet to see someone give an answer or at least a good suggestion of what to do. We never should have gotten rid of Saddam Hussein. Yes...he was a dictator and treated his people poorly but he also kept extremists like ISIS out of Iraq. We went in and got rid of Hussein and the extremists have taken over that country. We got rid of Bin Laden and that hasn't stopped the craziness. We got rid of Mu ...

Iraq is to the east of Jordan (shaped like the hatchet) and Syria is to the north. ISIL = Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Iraq is still to the east of Jordan, and “the Levant ...
