Any strategy yet? Just askin’

As we pass the anniversary of 9/11, there’s still plenty to worry about in the War on Terror.

1. Our president until recently was more interested in placating radical Islam than in fighting in. He now calls ISIS “a cancer”. Welcome to the real world, Mr. President. Five years too late.

2. We’ve had another beheading of an American journalist by ISIS. Let us not forget that U.S. forces might have been able to rescue all those hostages, but CIA sources say President Obama took too long to pull the trigger. By the time we got there, the prisoners were gone.

3. ISIS, under the nose of this part-time president, has established terror cells in the United States.

As we head into the fall, America has plenty to worry about. Unfortunately, one of the things that is worrisome is our president who, as I said a few weeks ago, just isn’t up to the job.

PS: I’ll be writing more about this Sunday. Please tune in.
