" President Obama's comments yesterday reveal the
disturbing degree of self-delusion that characterizes the Administration’s
campaign," McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in
a statement. "None of the so-called progress that the President cited
suggests that we are on a path to success, and when you are not winning in
warfare, you are losing."
McCain's remarks
come after Obama who was briefed by top defense officials, including Defense
Secretary Ash Carter and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin
Dempsey. Obama spoke at the Pentagon, providing an update on the U.S. and
global campaign to defeat the terrorist organization. He said" This will
not be quick. This is a long-term campaign. ISIL is opportunistic, and it is
nimble," the president said. "Our mission to destroy ISIL and to keep
our country safe will be difficult; it will take time. There will be setbacks
as well as progress."
Obama did not
explain about his hesitations about neither
arming the Syrian moderate opposition group ,The Syrian liberating free
Army nor the national Sunnites in Iraq, but said" the United States and
its partners have hit ISIS, or ISIL, with 5,000 airstrikes and killed thousands
of the group's members that means
nothing for those Arabs who have
suffered and still suffering from the isis extremists and have been crushed by
the terrorist regime of Iran .
McCain suggested
that the administration's current efforts won't be enough to defeat the
terrorist organization, and pressed for military leaders to be
"candid" with Obama.
Sen. Tom Cotton
(R-Ark.) also criticized the president on Monday, suggesting that it was time
for Obama to make "hard decisions" in the ISIS fight
“Just weeks after President Obama admitted we lacked a
complete strategy to combat ISIS, he’s now touting his efforts against the
group. But his rhetoric doesn’t match reality," he said.
Their remarks
follow criticism from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) who told John Catsimatidis
on “The Cats Roundtable” on New York’s AM 970 on Sunday that Obama
"doesn't' know what he's doing" in the Middle East.
Graham, who is
running for president, suggested that Obama's foreign policy has aided
terrorist groups, including ISIS, in going unchecked.
Across the
Capitol, Rep. Mac Thornberry, McCain's counterpart in the House, said ahead of
Obama's remarks that the president should realize that "his strategy to
defeat ISIL isn't working."
"I hope that the President will acknowledge these
realities, end the veto threats on bills that would enhance his ability to take
the fight to ISIL, and rethink his own inadequate strategy," he added.
For conclusion
the majority of the policy makers in the west and Arab countries believe that
the president should realize that "his strategy to defeat terrorism isn't
working, before anything because he has shacked hands with the God father of
global terrorism and tries to help them in nuclear negotiations; he backs Huthimilitias in Yemen by directing the United nations and its convey of 25 ships
delivering goods to them in Hodeida bay; and different kinds of hindrances on
those who really need to fight against terrorism in Iran such as the PMOI and
NCRI.http://www.ncr-iran.org/en/ So we should tell him Mr. President, please realize that your strategy
isn't working, let us manage the problem by ourselves.
