I certainly deplore Mr. Trump's comments regarding his approach to our Muslim friends, but at least he is emphasizing the potential threat we are facing. Things are not getting better. I think Mr. Trump is trying to get our President motivated to do something different than he has been doing the last 7 years. I have listened to his repeated assurances that he are doing everything possible and that we are going to win this battle, but these terrible attacks are occurring with increasing frequency. I am no longer reassured.
I think he has only himself to blame. He took our troops out of Iraq creating a vacuum ripe for the extremists. He failed to follow through on crossing the line if Assad used chemical weapons. He is not providing the leadership needed here. He blames Congress and "rose colored" intelligence, for problems. He needs a new approach. He reminds me of a doctor who refuses to change or consider an alternative diagnosis even though the patient keeps returning repeatedly with the same or worse symptoms. There has to be more that can be done here to get these brutal people on the run.
