“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Thursday decried President Barack Obama’s approach to fighting the Islamic State, suggesting it was part of a tradition of “half-assed” foreign policy.
On Wednesday, Obama requested congressional approval for the “limited use” of military force against ISIL.
“The mistake that Americans have made time and time and time again is they have gone into war half-assed,” Scarborough said. “We’ll do a little bit here, we’ll do a little bit there, we’ll see what happens.”
“If you are going to war, go to war to win war. If you’re not going to go to war to win war, then keep our men and women home,” the MSNBC host said.
