No, Obama's Ukraine Policy Isn't "Muddled" | Mother Jones

No, Obama's Ukraine Policy Isn't "Muddled" | Mother Jones: I should add that nobody on the planet—not even John McCain!—knows how to destroy ISIS. Everybody wants some kind of magic bullet that will put them out of business without committing any ground troops, but nobody knows what that is. So until one of the blowhard hawks comes up with an actual plan that might actually work, I'll stick with Obama's more cautious approach. I figure he'll do something, but only when politics and military strategy align to provide a plausible chance of success. In the meantime, mindlessly demanding more bombs—the only action that most of Washington's A-list apparently considers worthy of a commander-in-chief—is just stupid.
