Second, President Obama will not provide the boots.\u00a0 That leaves Obama with the impossible task of convincing other world leaders to take on the casualties he is not willing to risk. Obama plans on supplying the airpower while coalition partners provide the cannon fodder. Any foreign leader who accepts that deal is too stupid to be a worthy partner. That is why Obama is now proposing giving arms to <strong>\u201cso-called\u201d<\/strong> moderate rebels in Syria. The same rebels that Obama felt weren\u2019t up to the job a couple of weeks ago. In addition these <strong>\u201cmoderates\u201d<\/strong> may or may not have sold a hostage to ISIS and they may or may not already have a treaty with ISIS. So why is Obama choosing them?\u00a0 Easy, he can\u2019t find anyone else stupid enough to take on the assignment.<\/p>\n<p>Right now it appears as if the only people fighting ISIS are the Kurds and odds are once they shove ISIS out of their back yard they won\u2019t want to take on ISIS either. In the meantime let me paraphrase the sale pitch used by John Kerry and Barack Obama to put together the coalition:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Here\u2019s the deal. I can\u2019t send in ground troops because some of them might be injured or killed and that would make me look bad. So I need you to send in your boys and we will supply the air power. I am full committed to providing air support as long as there is limited risk to our people.\u00a0 By the way, no matter how things are going after six months, we\u2019re out of there. Please join my crusade. \u00a0You can count on me!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Obama is facing the same problem overseas that he faces here in the United States.\u00a0 He is rapidly running out of people stupid enough to believe in him.<\/p>\n<p>TDM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Obama may find it a little difficult to put together a coalition willing to fight ISIS.\u00a0 The problem is everyone knows two things.\u00a0 First, boots on the ground will be required to destroy ISIS.
