HOW A LEFTIST RUNS A WAR–USE 10 AIR STRIKES A DAY AGAINST AN ENEMY ADVANCING IN FORCE WHEN THE NEED IS FOR 200 SORTIES TO FINISH THEM OFF WITH APACHES–YET THIS IS HOW THE MILITARY IS BEING DEPLOYED BY THE LEFTIST INEXPERIENCED DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO–A LACK OF WILL POWER TO DESTROY THE ENEMY BY USING GREATER FORCE TO OVERWHELM BUT INSTEAD DOES THE SLAP ON THE WRIST AND HOPE AND CHANGE WILL TAKE EFFECT AND THE ENEMY PLEASE OH PLEASE SURRENDER ACCORDING TO THE DEMOCRATS–JUST LIKE FIGHTING THE EBOLA BY SENDING IN TROOPS YET NOT EVEN CLOSING FLIGHTS FROM THE INFECTED COUNTRIES LIKE GUINEA, LIBERIA, AND SIERRA LEONE–THE LACK OF COMMON SENSE BEGS THE QUESTION

……President Obama is facing difficult new options to bolster allies in both Syria and Iraq. As he weighs the recommendations for tougher action, Obama must worry that because of the deteriorating situation, he’s being pushed down the very path of escalation he had hoped to avoid.
U.S. strategy for Iraq and Syria is being managed by Gen. John Allen, the retired Marine who’s serving as special envoy and just returned from the region. The proposals under discussion at the White House are likely to include:
― Sending more Apache gunships to Iraq to counter the extremists’ offensive in Anbar Province. Some of these deadly attack helicopters are already at Baghdad Airport, and more could be sent to al-Asad air base in western Anbar, which remains under government control. From these two bases, a squadron of 20 or so Apaches could attack the Islamic State’s enclaves from al-Qaim in the northwest to Abu Ghraib in the Baghdad suburbs. Dempsey pointed to the Apaches last weekend in a TV interview as an “immediately available” tool to defend Baghdad Airport.
― Stepping up airstrikes over Iraq and Syria. To stop the extremists’ advance, some officials argue that 150 to 200 sorties a day may be needed, a sharp increase from 10 a day recently. Air power has limited effect against this insurgency, but Pentagon and State Department officials say right now it may be the only way to prevent further losses.
― Accelerate the training of the Iraqi army and a new Sunni national guard. Hundreds of foreign trainers, drawn from the special forces of the U.S., Britain, France, Germany, Australia and other nations, will be working with the Iraqi military. A similar effort is needed for the Sunni guard. Plans call for three battalions of tribal fighters in Anbar and three more in Saladin province. U.S. officials believe a quick start for this program will boost morale among Sunni tribal leaders who say they’re ready to fight the extremists but lack the tools.
― Create a border strip in northern Syria that’s safe from air attacks by the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. Though Obama has long resisted this no-fly zone, many U.S. officials now argue it’s essential, not least to steady Turkey. Secretary of State John Kerry signaled his support last week, and Dempsey agreed Sunday: “Do I anticipate that there could be circumstances in the future where that [a no-fly zone] would be part of the campaign? Yeah.”…..
