To defeat ISIS we need grownups
No consensus alternative to the outsiders has emerged from the pack of governors and senators running, and there is disagreement about how to prosecute the case against them. As often happens in these uncertain times, people grope about for a savior to deliver them from ruin.
Ann Romney appeared on Good Morning San Diego last month.
“It’s because of the president of the United States” failed policies, “leading from behind”, which has led to this chaos and renewed influence and growth of ISIS, ‘ McCain said yesterday, according to the Hill newspaper.
On one hand, he’s not especially busy.
“The words do matter because this is not just a military conflict – it’s also an ideological conflict”, Mr. Romney said on NBC’s “Today” program.

Both President Obama’s former political rivals say they would have dealt with ISIS better.
“I think a lot of people look at Mitt Romney and said we made a awful mistake with the president we chose, and so there’s a bit of nostalgia”, Griffin said.
Political observers in Iowa and New Hampshire, the states where the first votes will be cast in the presidential race, said it’s too soon for so much anxiety over the GOP field.
