http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3086675/PIERS-MORGAN-ISIS-winning-war-Mr-President-person-world-stop-going-start.html

ISIS is winning the war. Those are five words I never thought I’d write, but they are undeniable. The terror group’s capture of the key city of Ramadi in Iraq is a massively significant turning point in this increasingly bloody and gruesome conflict. Why? Because Ramadi is known as the ‘Gateway to Baghdad’, due to its proximity to Iraq’s capital.

So it means ISIS is now only one relatively small military step away from attacking and possibly seizing the very heart of the country. If that happens, all hell will break loose. Such a prospect should be genuinely alarming to President Obama and his administration. But the President only has himself to blame.

Yes, it’s true that Obama’s predecessor President George W Bush started all this deadly chaos with the invasion and occupation of Iraq 12 years ago. That futile, utterly self-defeating exercise stirred up a hornet’s nest in the region so violent and virulent that it makes Saddam Hussein’s vile regime look positively benign. But Obama’s had plenty of time to devise a successful strategy for dealing with the emerging threat of ISIS, and so far he has spectacularly failed.

As they beheaded Americans, he made somber speeches, then played golf minutes literally seven minutes later. As they burned Jordanian pilots in cages, Obama assured us with almost casual confidence that he was on top of things. As they threw gays to their death off rooftops and slaughtered Christians on beaches, still the leader of the free world exuded calm.
