Obama is definitely Junior Varsity grade.

After destroying Iraq and its army and killing 100,000 civilians by indiscriminate bombing, based on lies about WMDs, the US is now bombing Iraq again to protect its people from the Islamic State. It has already carried out more than 500 attacks on IS targets. The IS has many Shia, Christian and Yezidi prisoners who will also be blown up by these fearsome 500 lb bombs, along with any local Sunnis going about their lives. The IS has come to Iraq from Syria where they control a large tract of land in Raqaa province in the north. Some in the US believe that if Obama had supplied arms to the moderate rebels in Syria that would have prevented the rise of IS. The reason why Obama refrained from doing so could be because it was not easy to distinguish who the moderate rebels were or maybe the US was supplying weapons through Saudi Arabia and just pretending to be cute. Obama thought that Al Qaeda was finished after the killing of Osama bin Laden and referred to IS as ' Junior Varsity ' team during the campaign for reelection in 2012. However, Obama's blunder was not in underestimating the Islamic State but in withdrawing all US troops from Iraq, which he is about to repeat in Afghanistan. And just as in Iraq Afghanistan is going to fall apart. The family of Steven Sotloff, the second US hostage beheaded on video, believe that he was sold to the IS by moderate rebels in Syria for $50,000. It is this complete lack of understanding and the belief that any problem can be solved by bombing that guides US foreign policy. World War II was the last war won by superior force, Korea ended in a draw, following which the US has suffered defeats in Vietnam, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan. To win against the IS you need soldiers on the ground but gasbag Obama is bound by his pledge not to risk any US soldier and this cowardly bombing from the sky cannot be carried on forever. So, Obama is going to supply more arms to the Kurdish Peshmarga army. Problem is Iran has already been supplying the Kurds because it wants to save the Shia government in Baghdad. Iran does not mind Sunni Kurds fighting Sunni IS but the government in Baghdad wants to stop the Kurds from selling oil from the wells under its control. Kurds are using a new pipeline through Turkey to sell oil in the open market. Its tankers turn off their transponders to avoid detection. Turkey is going along for now because it must be taking a hefty cut but it is vehemently opposed to an independent Kurdistan. So that is another war in the future. Meanwhile, women from western countries are going to Syria to marry IS fighters for Jihad. This is the kind of Love Jihad we can live with. Buy one way tickets for the whole lot?
