The Patriot Post® · Indecisiveness and Ambivalence Make for Terrible Policy

Charles Krauthammer: “Guerrilla war is a test of wills. Obama’s actual objectives – rollback in Iraq, containment in Syria – are not unreasonable. But they require commitment and determination. In other words, will. You can’t just make one speech declaring war, then disappear and go fundraising. The indecisiveness and ambivalence so devastatingly described by both of Obama’s previous secretaries of defense, Leon Panetta and Bob Gates, are already beginning to characterize the Syria campaign. The Iraqis can see it. The Kurds can feel it. The jihadists are counting on it.”
