“[W]e waited too long. We let the Islamic State build up its money, capability and strength and weapons while it was still in Syria,” he said, using an alternate name for the terrorist group. “Then when [ISIL] moved into Iraq, the Sunni Muslims didn’t object to their being there and about a third of the territory in Iraq was abandoned.”

Two comments:

1. Only hindsight is 20/20.

2. I guess you have accepted the mantle that we are the world's policeman. That it is our responsibiloity to do exactly the right thing at exactly the right each and every time there is a problem in the world. Have you are you prepared to join the military? Has anyone on your family joined the military? Are you even prepared to pay for the fight?

You forgot foresight. Which Obama and his completely reactionary policy, despite the advice from many other experts within and outside his administration, has none of.

Apparently Obama does since we're sending more troops to fight Ebola than ISIS. It's just a matter of his preferred interests as far as what we're policing. I have served as have many of those advising him contrary to the path he chose. You?

In cases like this, as Carter correctly notes, it's not a matter of choosing to pay. You can either pay up front or pay even more later after they've strengthened and consolidated positions and power. That's where that foresight thing comes into play again. As opposed to avoiding unpleasant decisions and hoping that they'll go away just because they don't fit within your ideology.

Seriously how stupid are you? Politico is definitely not a conservative publication. You're just butt hurt because they finally stopped drinking the Obama Kool-Aid.

Do you work to be this stupid or does it come naturally? And if the former how many hours a day are you putting into it? It's working.
