America's Enemies in #Mosul and Tehran Spot Obama's False Commitment Right Away

The editors at the Wall Street Journal cut through the crap from Obama's press conference on Iraq yesterday. See, "Obama's Iraq Feint":
In international politics, influence is a function of power, and commitment is a prerequisite to achievement. If Mr. Obama were serious about the threat posed by ISIS and the possible breakup of Iraq, he would not be making the token commitments he made Thursday. It may take some of our liberal friends a while to understand that what the President proposed isn't a strategy; it is a feint. America's enemies in Mosul and Tehran will have spotted it right away.
