Krauthammer: Our real Syria strategy — containment-plus

Political Cartoons by Gary McCoy

Charles Krauthammer   "Late, hesitant and reluctant as he is, President Obama has begun effecting a workable strategy against the Islamic State. True, he’s been driven there by public opinion. Does anyone imagine that without the broadcast beheadings we’d be doing anything more than pinprick strikes within Iraq? If Obama can remain steady through future fluctuations in public opinion, his strategy might succeed.

"But success will not be what he’s articulating publicly. The strategy will not destroy the Islamic State. It’s more containment-plus: Expel the Islamic State from Iraq, contain it in Syria. Because you can’t win from the air. In Iraq, we have potential ground allies. In Syria, we don’t." ...
 ...
"Containment-plus. It’s the best of our available strategies. Obama must now demonstrate the steel to carry it through."

The Profound Stupidity of Liberalism on Display

Power Line  "The View is a television show that, apparently, a lot of women watch. Currently, Rosie O’Donnell, who was once famous for something–I have no idea what–is one of the hosts. Still, many women watch. So this video of The View’s women grappling with the Obama administration’s response to ISIS terrorism is noteworthy.

"I want to highlight O’Donnell’s contribution near the end: We are bombing Syria because Syria has so much oil, so there is a “financial incentive.” What the Hell is this supposed to mean? Why are liberals obsessed with oil? And what, exactly, is the “financial incentive”? Here is the clip, then some further comments:


"O’Donnell’s comments are astonishingly foolish. For one thing, Syria has very little oil: it produces less than 1/2 of 1% of the world’s petroleum. Whereas we, the United States, are the number one source of fossil fuel energy. And how would bombing ISIL give the U.S. access to more oil, at rates somehow cheaper than those at which we can develop our own endless petroleum resources? At over $1 million per Tomahawk missile, isn’t this doing it the hard way?" ...

Rosie O'Donnell: Another Leftist embarrassment in one ridiculous week  " In keeping with my contention that this was a pretty darned embarrassing week for Leftists, let me point out Rosie O'Donnell's sullen comments on her new revised View that the lust for oil and financial gain is at the bottom of O'bama's(sic) decision to bomb Syria.
"One problem.  
"Syria doesn't have much, um, oil.  
"In fact, as the Powerline blog  daddies point out, they provide one half of one percent of the world's oil, not to mention that the US sits on top of more oil than any other country if we'd only access it.  
" And then there's that problem if you bomb the oil wells, you're not going to get much oil out of it, eh.  
"So here she is, in all her glory." ...
