Title: Obama's 'whack-a-mole' warning on ISIS Post by: cryptocoiner on July 08, 2015, 08:05:39 AM Obama's 'whack-a-mole' warning on ISIS
President Obama, in a rare visit to the Pentagon where he got an update on the military campaign against the Islamic State, acknowledged Monday that ISIS and its ideology have spread far beyond Iraq and Syria as he urged the world to unite against this threat – saying that if the U.S. tries to address it unilaterally, "We'll be playing whack-a-mole." The president, giving a report card of sorts on the nearly yearlong military campaign against the terror network, offered a mixed picture. He cited a string of ISIS losses in Iraq and Syria in claiming they "can be pushed back" in the region. "In short, ISIL's recent losses in both Syria and Iraq prove that ISIL can and will be defeated," Obama said, vowing: "We will ultimately prevail." At the same time, he braced the public for a "long-term campaign" that will involve a "generational struggle" -- a global battle with extremists for hearts and minds. In unusually blunt remarks, the president acknowledged that ISIS and its ideology "pose a grave threat beyond the region" that has spread around the world. The president cited deadly attacks in recent weeks in Tunisia, Kuwait and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/07/06/obama-concedes-isis-has-gone-global-but-vows-will-ultimately-prevail/ Title: Re: Obama's 'whack-a-mole' warning on ISIS Post by: bryant.coleman on July 08, 2015, 10:35:41 AM President Obama, in a rare visit to the Pentagon where he got an update on the military campaign against the Islamic State, acknowledged Monday that ISIS and its ideology have spread far beyond Iraq and Syria as he urged the world to unite against this threat So, finally Barry Banana has woken up from his deep slumber? The Americans should have thought about the possible consequences, before invading Iraq and toppling the secular Ba’athist regime. They have opened a Pandora’s Box, which is releasing radical Islamic terror all over the world.

The problem is that you are just as responsible for what is happening as Obama but then it is so much easier to point the finger while adopting a glorious neutral stance. Perhaps you should take some time to reflect on your own contribution to the creation of ISIS. Just saying. |
