Instead of providing a new direction. the message this administration is sending is that they will stay the course. I admit I share the complete confusion expressed by some of my colleagues yesterday when we learned of this situation. This White House acknowledges that the training programs in Syria and Iraqthe linchpins of our strategyhave vastly underperformed. They express moral outrage at ISILs barbarity. as well as grave concern for the plight of the 4 million refugees that have fled the country and sorrow for the 250.000 that have lost their lives. Our military characterizes the conflict as a stalemate. But. apparently. the administration feels no change is necessary.
