Krauthammer’s Take: President Obama’s Speech on a Strategy for ISIS Might Not Contain a Strategy

On Monday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said he doesn’t expect a real strategy for confronting the Islamic State when President Obama makes a speech on Wednesday night — just more rhetoric, to paper over the president’s failures.

“You’ll know whether he really has a plan if he announces Wednesday night that the line between Syria and Iraq no longer exists in the real world, therefore the United States will not make a distinction in going after the people who slit the throats of two Americans,” Krauthammer said.

Two things to look out for in the president’s speech Wednesday, Krauthammer said: What, if anything, Obama will do about the Islamic State in Syria and what the president means by his talk of a coalition to confront the group.
