Another General Disapproves

Former commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Conway, on his evaluation of the President's plan to subdue ISIS, as reported in The Daily Caller:
I don’t think the president’s plan has a snowball’s chance in hell of succeeding.
The article explains the basis for the general's negative evaluation:
Conway’s major concern was that the U.S. did not have a force on the ground in Syria it could rely on, like the Kurdish Peshmerga in Iraq.
Nobody thinks the Iraqi army is useful and everybody on the rebel side in Syria is a U.S.-hating Sunni extremist.
