Dumb de dumb dumb.
Despite ISIS, Obama has been ordered to overthrow Assad. Obama loves to sanction, overthrow, or attack Arab countries. Working well so far - Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Palestine - All wonderful places once they are touched by Obama.
So our strategy in Iraq and Syria is going to replicate "one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years"? According to the president, Yemen and Somalia are examples of success? I'm no expert on either place, but I have the impression both are in pretty bad shape, have probably been getting worse, and that our government is pretty worried about the export of terrorism near and far from both. I suspect that others more expert than I could even find recent testimony by senior administration officials and other experts on Yemen and Somalia that would highlight how bizarre it is for the president to hold them up as aspirational standards for his policy in Iraq and Syria. So this is the way Obama's foreign policy ends: Promising to create more Yemens and more Somalias.
