Washington Examiner: Obama visits Pentagon Monday to discuss Islamic State

The president will visit the Pentagon on Monday to discuss the country's strategy against the Islamic State with members of his national security team.

Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said Friday that the president's meeting will focus on steps to "strengthen the execution of our strategy and hasten the defeat of ISIL."

"I expect him both to hear what we're doing, and continue to say what he's told me and General Dunford, certainly for the military campaign, which is that he wants us to continue to come to him with proposals for ways that we can strengthen the campaign consistent with our overall strategic approach," Carter said during a joint press conference Friday afternoon.

WNU Editor: If the war against the Islamic State was going well, President Obama would not be going to the Pentagon .... especially on a Monday. But the war is not going well, and the Pentagon has been a source of many leaks (and discontent) on current war strategy. A part of me believes that this will be a "discussion" on what needs to be done, another part of me also believes that the President is going there personally to read the riot act .... follow the White House message on the Islamic State .... or else.

Stories like the one below might be partially spun as the system is working. And in this case the system might have worked. But people have seen too many instances, where the system has not worked, where Obama purposefully broke it and where the 2 San Bernadino shooters had Muslim community support (to include the (Father Marquuez, & sleeper cells per Marquez. Did the mother know? She lived with them). It seems as though ISIS is doing anything but giving up.

Gallup and other pollster can no longer cover for him. All polls are trending south.

So we get kabuki theatre this week.

Will Obama be in Kabuki whiteface?
