The Right thing Obama should do about ISIS

[Nyvin]

So it's very easy to say "Obama shouldn't be doing this" or "Obama should've done that" or "Obama never tried doing this" or pretty much everything else you see conservatives say in sentences containing the name "Obama".....but I'd like to take a small step further and ask them, what WOULD be the correct thing, in their eye, for the president to do with regard to the situation in ISIS. No, stepping down from the presidency isn't an option nor is "Everything he isn't doing now"

Come on now, what is the correct approach to ISIS for Obama to take...right now, here in the present, how the situation is...not "could've been" or would've been....how it is...here....RIGHT NOW....the right thing to do.....go!

This has been rehashed a dozen times.
Obama needs to formulate a clear strategy to wipe them off the map. Then he needs to seek Congressional approval for that move. Then he needs to do it.
He doesnt need to contain them.
He doesnt need to make them manageable
He doesnt need to huirt their feelings by calling them the JV team.
He doesnt need to take polls to see if this strategy or that strategy is more popular.

Way to avoid the crux of the matter! You rock, ****** Rock!

It really doesn't matter what Obama does USMB conservatives will still bitch about him.

 

[HenryBHough]

And all this without first inviting their leaders to a round of golf?

How does He EVER expect to make progress?

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

He needs to do the same thing many of us, including me, have been saying for months. KILL THEM ALL. Stop bombing Toyotas and start bombing their camps, their infrastructure in Syria, their front lines.....etc

Do you think his strategy should be.....?

I will go out and say I figured we would have military bases in Iraq for 50 years after we invaded in 91(?). How about we build a heck of an Army and Navy base there and just admit we are keeping a moderate government in Iraq I guess.

Once the elimination of ISIS commences, Obama should let the military conduct operations,keep his snout out of it and go play golf till it's over with.

For starters, I would recommend that Obama stop attempting to overthrow Middle East leaders.
Egypt was verging on disaster after Obama pressured Mubarak out and gave Egypt Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood until the Egyptians came to their senses.
Libya is a dogs breakfast that is now completely FUBAR'D with militias in control of 1/5th of the worlds oil and partying down at the US Embassy in Tripoli.
And last but not least stop messing with Syria. It's bad enough that Obama has screwed up everything else pretending that all these overthrows were just an "Arab Spring" but by trying to take out Assad by any means possible Obama/Harper/Cameron and other western leaders oh and throw Qatar and Saudia Arabia in there as well, Obama et al have given us ISIS.

Back off Assad. Stop providing weapons to fake rebels aka terrorists and mercenaries. Let Assad take out ISIS. Provide support to Iraq to finish them off after he didn't give help before because he didn't like Maliki.
And most importantly STOP his crap in the Middle East. It's a bloody disaster with his hand prints all over it.

Many people on different threads have already answered this question stop the pin prick strikes and go to full scale bombing on ISIS and arm the Kurd's to allow them to take the fight to ISIS on the ground. Now you have been given the ideas from the right about what Obama should do with ISIS how about you and others on the left tell us what you feel Obama should do to combat ISIS.

I remember the glory days of the Arab Spring. All the flower power love fests. The thrill of toppling George H Bush's nemesis in Iraq and Reagan's in Libya.

Are you saying they weren't that bad?

U.S. asks how Islamic State militants got so many Toyotas
Oct. 7, 2015 -- The U.S. Department of Treasury launched an investigation to determine how the Islamic State militant group acquired so many Toyota vehicles.

Toyota, the world's second largest auto maker, said it is fully cooperating with the investigation, which is part of a broader look at the terrorist group's financing. ABC News first reported the investigation led by the Treasury Department's Terror Financing unit. Toyota is "committed to complying fully with the laws and regulations of each country or region where we operate and require our dealers and distributors to do the same. We are supporting the U.S. Treasury Department's broader inquiry into international supply chains and the flow of capital and goods in the Middle East," Toyota spokesperson Ed Lewis said.

Lewis said the company has a "strict policy" against selling to buyers who may use their vehicles for terrorist activities, but it is impossible for any automaker to completely control how vehicles are used or resold. He suggested the investigation look to private companies as well. IS propaganda videos show gunman patrolling Syrian streets in what appears to be new and older models of Toyota's Hilux pick-up trucks and Toyota Land Cruisers.

The Treasury Department would not comment about the specifics of the investigation, but said there is an ongoing effort to understand IS -- also identified as Daesh, ISIS and ISIL -- financing. "In line with our usual approach to understanding ISIL's financial and economic activities, we are working closely with foreign counterparts and stakeholders worldwide," the Treasury Department said.
