That’s probably an understatement given the way we’ve squandered the advances our troops made in Iraq.

The U.S. military “desperately” needs a strategy from President Obama to isolate the Islamic State in Iraq, retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane said on Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” Friday.
“They’re very frustrated, to be quite frank about it,” Keane said. “They can’t speak publicly about it. They want a strategy. They know they can deal with this force.”
Obama reiterated Thursday that he would not commit “combat troops on the ground,” but did green-light additional airstrikes to protect American personnel and facilities.
“The airstrikes we’re doing right now are defensive,” Keane said. “We have to give the military the mission to make them offensive, let them attack ISIS throughout the country.”
