America's plans to fight Islamic State are in ruins as the militant group's fighters come close to capturing Kobani and have inflicted a heavy defeat on the Iraqi army west of Baghdad. The US-led air attacks launched against Islamic State (also known as Isis) on 8 August in Iraq and 23 September in Syria have not worked. President Obama's plan to "degrade and destroy" Islamic State has not even begun to achieve success. In both Syria and Iraq, Isis is expanding its control rather than contracting.Obama's reign has shown a spotlight on a profound truth: liberal policies are miserable failures when applied to either the economy or foreign policy. They don't work. They never work. They make things worse.
Where will we be in two more years? It is a frightening thought.

The bombing campaign would work if we used a-bombs.
