Obama 'dances around reality' as Daesh plays the tune

The New York Post said after months of taking flak for his lack of a coherent strategy to combat Daesh, US President Barack Obama came up with an answer. Unfortunately, it’s “let’s pretend.”
In a speech to a conference Wednesday as well as an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, the president did set forth an agenda for countering what he insisted on calling “violent extremism.”
But his approach puts the top priority on the West acknowledging the terrorists’ economic and political grievances.
"That won’t convince anyone that Obama understands the nature of the threat. Nor will it do much to convince groups like Daesh that he’s serious about defeating them," the post said.
It said the president once again demonstrated his discomfort in leading a struggle against evil and his unfitness as a war leader.
