Seth Meyers on Obama...

Published:

Last night on Late Night, host Seth Meyers opened up the flood gates on President Obama's strategy for fighting ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

Meyers starts strong, hitting Obama on his attempt to walk the peacenick/warmonger border by refusing to call the conflict with ISIS a war. He then moves directly into our being on the same side as Bashar al-Assad, and follows-up by completely trashing Congress.

Finally, Meyers absolutely blisters the moderate rebels storyline.

"Do we really think moderate rebels can stop ISIS? No, but it's a nice thing to say. 'Moderate rebels'. Try it at a dinner party. 'What we need to do is arm moderate rebels.' Everyone will nod and say 'I agree.'

"Hey, won't ISIS just take the guns from the moderate rebels? Yes, that is what will happen."

Meyers finishes up by saying that, yes, everything sucks. Which is something anyone can agree with these days.

President Obama's policies are more up for parody now than ever in his time on the national stage, although even now comedians still generally give him a pass personally. But that get out of jail free card is just about out of uses.
