More less-than-helpful foreign policy “advice” (hectoring) from the peanut gallery:

I hope the President uses tonight’s speech to provide leadership about ISIS. The American people are waiting.http://t.co/V5mJXXXKsV @housGOP

No explanation of what “provide leadership” actually entails. The embedded video certainly doesn’t clarify it, as it’s just a minute long floor speech of trite partisan shots followed again by the nebulous “I hope he provides long overdue leadership on this issue.”

President Obama has been weak and indecisive in the face of threats from Putin and terrorist threats like ISIS.

Unfortunately, I don’t think our enemies FEAR and RESPECT President Obama. #ISIS

There are risks associated with any decision, but today the biggest risk is to continue on the current path of doing nothing. #ISIS

Obama’s peace-through-withdrawal strategy has failed. http://t.co/NUl7P7tMeX He must state a believable goal tonight and commit to it.

Calls for a “believable goal,” and links to an oped entitled “Dick Cheney Is Still Right.”

Sittin briefing on “IS” or Islamic State. Pres Obama owes Geo Bush an apology. More importantly he owes our US Military & their families one

And just for sanity’s sake, an example of sober and responsible statement:

The House stands ready to listen and work with the President to confront the growing threat of #ISIL https://t.co/a0QLUJ1lhU
