Obama didn't create this mess, Bush left it for him. Are you going to deny that?? After seven years I think it's safe to say Bush and crew didn't have an effective strategy to WIN this conflict.
I didn't say the new strategy was ALL new ideas. The ones that are not have at least gone through policy review and have been subsequently strengthened as needed. I listed a number of points in the previous post which were not in the Bush playbook.
You can't deny there has been a huge ramping up of efforts on every front, military, economic and social development, and especially diplomatic.
Stop being a crusty old GOP curmudgeon and just acknowledge Obama is taking this problem a lot more seriously than Bush did.
