A body at rest tends to stay at rest. Despite the boast that U.S. airplanes have struck northern Iraq over 180 times (and now French aircraft too), it doesn't seem to be slowing ISIS down. Just in the last 24 hours over 70,000 Syrians have fled across the border into Turkey ... see: Enews Story. These refugees are mostly Kurds which does not make Turkey all that happy ... for it has been oppressing this ethnic minority also ... but not by putting their heads on stakes ... not yet anyway. When our fearless leader issued his call-to-arms last week, we had already made some 150 air strikes in Iraq. So this means that, since then, we have had just 30 or so more ... and none yet in Syria.
What in God's name is Obama waiting for? He has been called the "reluctant warrior" ... I think a better name might be the "body-at-rest warrior."
