War

Both White House and Pentagon contradict Kerry and say US is at war with ISIS. I must have missed Congress declaring that.

ISIS beheads Briton in similar video to the two American victims.

Obama claims that moderate Syrian jihadists would be the boots on the ground to fight ISIS, but they just agreed to a non-aggression pact with ISIS. They already worked hand-in-hand.

"The fantasy of Obama’s plan to fund, arm, and train the “moderates” in Syria to be the leading edge in the US war on ISIS was completely laid bare just days after his speech, as the Syrian “moderates” signed a non-aggression pact with ISIS at a meeting just outside Damascus.
They agreed they would not fight each other until they defeat the Assad government, which, strangely enough, is the US goal as well. "

Americans will topple Assad for them.

I like Buchanan's assessment.

"The strategy that President Obama laid out Wednesday night to “degrade and ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL,” is incoherent, inconsistent and, ultimately, non-credible."

But that's not Obama's goal. Buchanan shouldn't take Obama at his word.

Intelligence agencies don't even know how many fighters are in ISIS.
