Opinion: WE ARE CONFUSED BY WHAT WE HEAR ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST

Historically President Obama consistently delays making difficult decisions in the hopes that things will improve. As I have said in earlier articles, bad news rarely improves with time. ISIS will not disappear by itself, and I doubt that the Syrian army will be able to defeat it. I also doubt that the friendly Syrian rebels along with the Kurds and Iraqi army will be able to do it either unless we are able to give effective air support.
