Yea, that strategy is really working Barry.



To quote or brilliant President...

Quote:New Yorker editor David Remnick pointed out to the president that the Al Qaeda flag is now seen flying in Falluja in Iraq and in certain locations in Syria, and thus the terrorist group has not been “decimated” as Obama had said during his 2012 reelection campaign.

“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama told Remnick. “I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”

We should've beaten this "JV team" already, right?

Let's see if he ever defines "ultimately".

Just what is this "strategy" that he speaks of?

1)ignore them and hope they go away.
2)that didn't work, wait for term to expire.

The President now has the Russians and French bombing ISL targets, it's not just an American operation now in addition to American drone strikes. They will be feeling the effects of that soon if not already.

We cannot even name the enemy let alone defeat them.


Is this the "war" against ISIS?
The "battle" against Radical Islam?
or maybe the "initiative" against misunderstood and underemployed young men who can't assimilate into western culture....

None of the idiot Dem candidates would use the term "radical Islam" in their pathetic excuse for a debate last week. As you say, if you can't even call the enemy what it is, then how can you defeat them.

PC rearing it's ugly head. Better to not offend someone than to actually take care of the situation.

Thank goodness finally some leadership. Putin 2016!!

So he isn't concerned with American leadership or America winning. That sounds like a great strategy to me.
