Team Obama, apparently abashed by their humiliation by Putin last week, leaks word to the Times that they are still a 'playa' in Syria:
U.S. Aims to Put More Pressure on ISIS in Syria
WASHINGTON — The American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State has begun preparing to open a major front in northeastern Syria, aiming to put pressure on Raqqa, the terrorist group’s de facto capital, according to military and administration officials.
President Obama last week approved two important steps to set the offensive in motion over the coming weeks, officials said. Mr. Obama ordered the Pentagon, for the first time, to directly provide ammunition and perhaps some weapons to Syrian opposition forces on the ground. He also endorsed the idea for an increased air campaign from an air base in Turkey, although important details still need to be worked out.
Just last week! And only a few important details need to be worked out.
Together, these measures are intended to empower 3,000 to 5,000 Arab fighters who would join more than 20,000 Kurdish combatants in an offensive backed by dozens of coalition warplanes to pressure Raqqa, the Islamic State’s main stronghold in Syria. Plans are also moving forward to have Syrian opposition fighters seal an important 60-mile part of the country’s border with Turkey to cut off critical supply lines of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL.
...
Senior administration officials say the new offensive holds promise and may change the dynamics on the ground. But it comes a year after an American-led coalition started a campaign against the Islamic State that is now “tactically stalemated,” Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said last month.
The Administration doesn't want to admit that they are leaking this in response to last week's embarrassments and the Times doesn't want to admit they are presenting Obama Administration press releases, so we get some window-dressing:
These outlines of the mission have been drawn from public statements of senior commanders briefing Congress as well as interviews with more than a half-dozen military, diplomatic and administration officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning. Even in describing the goals of the campaign, officials said they would not disclose the kinds of details that might help the Islamic State anticipate exactly how the offensive would unfold.
They don't want to help ISIS, just Obama.
The details are interesting, albeit puzzling:
The origins of the northern front lie in the fight for Kobani, the Syrian Kurdish border city that faced an Islamic State onslaught last year. Kobani showed the potential for using a combined air and ground operation to defeat the Islamic State. The United States and its allies provided the combat aircraft, and Syrian Kurdish fighters, in contact with American Special Operations Forces in northern Iraq, provided the ground force.
...
The operation now being prepared would expand the Kurdish effort by adding Arab groups. In addition to increasing the number of anti-Islamic State fighters, the inclusion of Arab fighters eases Turkish concerns that the Syrian Kurds are becoming too influential in northern Syria.
The Arab wing of this ground force is called the Syrian Arab Coalition, a conglomeration of 10 to 15 groups whose total numbers range from 3,000 to 5,000 fighters, American officials said. They would fight alongside a larger Kurdish force in the northeast of as many as 25,000 fighters.
American military officials have screened the leaders of the Arab groups to ensure that they meet standards set by Congress when it approved $500 million last year for the Defense Department to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels. Most of the focus of that financing has been on an ill-fated Pentagon training program at sites in Turkey and Jordan that so far has fielded few fighters.
The administration’s plan is to support the Kurdish and Arab fighters and have them advance toward Raqqa, but not try to seize the heavily defended city itself. Rather, the aim is to isolate Raqqa and cut it off from travel and supply lines northeast and northwest of the city.
If we can get the Turks to stop bombing the Kurds, that's progress. As to how 3,000 to 5,000 acceptable Syrian Arabs suddenly arose from the desert when we have been hearing about our inability to find suitable moderate rebels willing to re-direct their rebellion against Assad and fight ISIS, well, don't ask, don't tell.
QUESTIONS I CAN'T ANSWER: At his recent press conference Obama reiterated that Assad was the problem. Yet we will only arm rebels that drop their fight against Assad to take on ISIS. Yet more evidence that I am not a genius like Obama.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, first and foremost, let’s understand what’s happening in Syria and how we got here. What started off as peaceful protests against Assad, the president, evolved into a civil war because Assad met those protests with unimaginable brutality. And so this is not a conflict between the United States and any party in Syria; this is a conflict between the Syrian people and a brutal, ruthless dictator.
...
So in my discussions with President Putin, I was very clear that the only way to solve the problem in Syria is to have a political transition that is inclusive -- that keeps the state intact, that keeps the military intact, that maintains cohesion, but that is inclusive -- and the only way to accomplish that is for Mr. Assad to transition, because you cannot rehabilitate him in the eyes of Syrians.
OK, this is where Erdogan shows Vlad the true pretzel twist with double prostration where Obama exceeds flexibility given to Vlad by setting up the Kurds for sacrifice. All while Obama (or at least the NYT) thinks Obama is being bold instead of an abused Gumby.

henry - The post was already a bit long, so I didn't say anything about the judiciary, much less the regulatory agencies.
But I will give you this metaphor that I think applies to many of those agencies. Some of the bureaucrats in them are like attack dogs that are leashed when one party is in power -- and released when another party is. For instance, from what I can tell Lois Lerner didn't do nearly as much damage during the Bush administration as under Obama.
And she may not have needed any direct orders, after Obama took office,
Since way more bureaucrats are leftists than conservatives, we have many more problems when a Democrat is president.

To Jim Miller's post, what has distinguished this administration from the last two was the complete unwillingness on the part of the DoJ to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate any of the scandals. After Iran/Contra it was obvious that a special prosecutor threw Constitutional protections to the wind, which is odd that Double Naught legal scholar Learned Gland Clenis renewed the law amidst a bunch of blatant hogwash about running the most ethical administration evaaarrr. Welp that obviously didn't work out so well before he told Reno to just stop. God knows what possessed THE ARCHITECT to urge/allow GWB to give into pressure on some slutty file clerk but that obviously didn't work out well.
I really can't blame Stedman and Lynch for saying NFW no matter how much I think it's deserved. I hope any future GOP Preznit, assuming there are any, shoves any MFM demands for one straight up their candy asses. But the lack of any marks a non distraction from 404's agenda.
