Obama's strategy for dealing with the enemy is abject failure

NY Post Editorial:

The thought of ISIS terrorists in Europe, as officials now believe is the case, and the re-release of an Islamic State video calling for Muslims to murder Western police officers and soldiers underscore a grim reality: We cannot unilaterally end a war our enemies in the Middle East have declared on us.

Thwarting at least one attack in Belgium, officials say they nabbed dozens of suspected terrorists with ties to ISIS in several countries.

The video, meanwhile, urges followers to “strike their police, security and intelligence members,” specifically naming the United States, France, Australia and Canada as targets.

All this, after the Paris attacks by terrorists also linked to Mideast jihadists. And December’s attack in Sydney by an Australian who put an Islamist flag in a window. And a murderous attack on a Canadian soldier by a convert to Islam who police say wanted to travel to Syria to fight.

Last week, an Ohio man was also arrested for what the FBI says was a plot to launch an Islamic State-inspired attack on the US Capitol.

What these events ought to tell us is how mistaken it is to think we can end a war unilaterally — or buy our safety by ignoring the Middle East.
...

These mass murderers are not going away simply because Obama wishes to ignore them and focus on buying votes with give aways.  The failure of leadership at the highest levels has been disastrous and the war has gotten worse.
