When Obama himself admitted that he doesn't have a strategy, he was obviously referring to a long-term one. I agree. I'd be surprised if he had a specific, long term strategy and would be suspicious if he did. Because it could not be realistic. In general, I think he has. But the devil is in the details. It is an inherently complicated area due to history. That doesn't get resolved over a long weekend.

I don't know what his long term strategy for Syria/Iraq is but his short term strategy is working. The ISIS expansion into Iraq has been stopped. Nice try, but the question wasn't about short-term strategies. When Obama himself admitted that he doesn't have a strategy, he was obviously referring to a long-term one. Fine. He doesn't have one. Deal with it. Syria is a complicated problem. When are you going to learn that marching in like Bush/Cheney did is a huge mistake. For an example, if we go into Syria, I want a huge payout from Bashar al Assad. Keep dodging the question, Ted. There's no getting around this gaffe. LOL. Its not a gaffe. I know its making R heads explode but that has more to do with the weakness of R heads rather than Obama's lack of a long term strategy.
