Before leaving for New York for a series of fundraisers, President Obama held a press conference at the White House to discuss his lack of strategy on Syria.

Obama told reporters that his strategy was still developing, and that he would continue to consult with congress and the American people about any action in Syria.
“I don't want to put the cart before the horse,” he said. “We don't have a strategy yet.”

Obama criticized the news media for “getting a little further ahead of where we're at than we currently are” on confronting ISIL in Syria.
“I think that's not just my assessment but the assessment of our military, as well,” he said.

Obama said that to solution to the situation in Syria was not simply a military issue but also a political issue.
He suggested that the United States would support a “moderate opposition” inside of Syrian to give the country’s citizens a choice.

“We have to give people inside of Syria a choice other than ISIL or Assad,” he said, “And I don't see any scenario in which Assad somehow is able to bring peace and stability to a region that is majority Sunni.”

Obama also explained that he had no intention of taking military action against Russia, even though it was clear that Vladamir Putin was acting aggressively in Ukraine.
“We are not taking military action to solve the Ukrainian problem,” he explained.

This is nothing more than more incompetence from this guy. Going on a fundraiser while terrorism runs rampant, and he doesn't even have a clue. I guess that's what we have come to expect from a golfing community organizer. Pathetic? U Betcha!

We should hang our heads in shame?

And yet the way I see this is that the Republican party from day one asserted that they would do everything possible to subvert this president. And when, in this administration, have Republicans ever come with any policy or suggestion that was helpful?

I do not know, but whatever it is would be better than this dolt.

Perhaps we need a strategy before we act. Not having a real strategy is how we destabilized that part of the world.

This really should not come as a surprise, He may even be on their side.

djenrette...How do you know that the Republicans haven't come up with any better suggestions than the Obama administration?Everything dies on Harry Reid's desk. It's a known fact that he kills everything they try to attempt to do.

You beat me to the punch. My thoughts exactly.

Agreed! And any other previous President including that buffoon Carter would have had a strategy long ago rather than vacationing, golfing and organizing fund raisers. After watching David Cameron's (he's the PM of the United Kingdom for you low information dolts) speech and condemnation is radical islam, it makes me yearn for a strong, honest and principled leader, which we are sorely lacking here in the US.

Indeed, his pathetic inactions regarding islam could have been his plan all along. I shudder at the thought this clown is more inept than I have originally thought.

He doesn't want to kill any more of his kinsmen than he has to. He will be no good for their cause when he is not in office, unless it is as some kind of organizer.

Imagine Brady Hoak going into the third week of November saying, "I really don't have a strategy for beating Ohio State."

He might not even be on the sideline for the game.
