(7,960 posts)Maybe Obama's strategy is working, maybe this Paris attack and the downing of the Russian plane is the lashing out of a wounded animal. Or maybe it isn't and if it isn't then it is time to rethink what we are doing.
There is a big difference between going after a ruthless enemy with strength and determination, i.e. the allies vs the Axis powers during World War II and blundering blindly into a war the way that Bush did. I voted for Obama twice. I believe that he has the capacity to what needs to be done but I reserve the right to criticize him when I think he's making mistakes.
We should never have been involved in this mess to begin with. Republican presidents created Al-Queda, trained and armed Bin-Laden and destroyed Iraq. If Obama does not deal with the reality on the ground and the perception of that reality among American people then we will have yet another Republican president. I do not consider that "attacking" the president.
