Caution narcissist in charge of ISIL strategy

Washington Post:
Obama thinks his Syria strategy is right — and folks just don’t get it

Ordering an “uptick in our communications tempo,” the president insists that the administration needs to do a better job of explaining the U.S.-led strategy against the Islamic State.
The problem is his strategy is inexplicable.  It is a mish-mash of too little, too late tactical responses and an inadequate operational tempo in attacking the enemy.  It is a policy that worries about the lives of the enemy logistics team more than the lives of those threatened by the enemy.  Ir is a strategy that is bogged down by decisions made on the tactical level by amateurs in the White Hosue rather than professionals in the military.  It takes a narcissist to believe that everyone but him is wrong about it.
