You’ve been hearing, most likely, about the recent successes of the so-called “Islamic State” in Syria and Iraq.  And they’ve been considerable.

 

Perhaps you’ve heard today that the “Islamic State” has now announced its intention to “liberate” Baghdad itself.

 

But don’t imagine that this nihilistic death-cult is operating only in Syria and Iraq.

 

No, no, no.

 

If only.

And the Obama administration acknowledged today that it doesn’t have a strategy yet for dealing with the “Islamic State.”

 

I’m shocked.
