The President isn't popular right now, but his policy is. McCain wanted an open ended commitment in Iraq and Syria. We aren't going to do that.
We shouldn't do that.
We should fight ISIL in ways that we can short of another ground war in the Middle East.
And as far as arming the Syrian "moderates", they are a non-effective fighting force. We armed the Iraqi army and they threw away their weapons as soon as ISIL appeared.
Arming the Syrian "moderates" would be the same as arming ISIL.
