President Obama Admits That The US Does Not Have A Complete Strategy To Counter The Islamic State



Daily Mail: Obama: 'We don't yet have a complete strategy' to stop ISIS in Iraq

 * Iraqi security forces have failed to keep pace with ISIS fighters, exposing the need for revisions to the joint training program
 * 'We don't yet have a complete strategy,' Obama said during a press conference at the conclusion of the G7 summit today
 * Reason: 'It requires commitments on the part of the Iraqis as well about how recruitment takes place, how that training takes place'
 * 'And so the details of that are not yet worked out,' he said; remark is sure to fire up Republicans, who've said all along he doesn't have a good plan

Nearly a year into the fight against ISIS, the U.S. still doesn't have a 'complete' strategy to end the terrorist group's bloody rampage across Iraq, President Barack Obama admitted today.

Maybe Obama should not have missed so many intel briefs prior to 2012.

Maybe he is 'physically' showing up to his briefings now.
