THERE’S A PLAN? Obama’s ISIS Plan Has Another Problem.

Others close to the ISIS fight say that when it comes to U.S. policy, information flow inside the administration has been tricky at best and nonexistent at worst, a fact that is complicated by the complex dynamics on the ground among allies who are sometimes at odds.

“This is not going to turn out well; it starts with the basics of using locals as our infantry,” says former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq James Jeffrey, who has been critical of the Obama administration for limiting U.S. military intervention against ISIS to rely so heavily on local fighters. “Letting them do it isn’t working out too well, is it, when they start fighting each other?”

Indeed, it is hard to understand why policy is being made seemingly on the fly when the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds was so easy to foresee.

Hoping against hope that groups who hate each other will band together to clean up your mess is not a plan.

Also note that first line about “information flow inside the administration.” Obama doesn’t know, doesn’t want to know, and has a staff devoted to making sure he doesn’t know.
