Readers Write: Obama’s strategy on ISIS failed to work

The Island Now

Russian jetliner was blown out of the sky on Oct. 31 killing 220 souls. A number of days later ISIS claimed responsibility. 

Two weeks later suicide bombers struck Beirut, Lebanon killing forty three. ISIS circulated a statement on social media claiming responsibility for the blasts.

A day prior to the Paris attacks the President, in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos said that ISIS is contained.

 President Obama at the G-20 Summit in Antalya, Turkey on Monday Nov. 16 called the Paris terrorist attack a terrible sickening setback in the fight against the Islamic State. How, may I ask could it possibly be a setback? A set back from what? His strategy wasn’t working.

Never in my wildest dreams could I imagine I would see the day that France would lead the United States of America in any military action no less the Global War on Terror.
