Summarizing The President's Speech
Update: Senator McCain blasts Jay Carney - "you don't have the facts" and President Obama "he doesn't understand the situation" in this post-speech CNN interview... well worth the price of admission...
In 15 minutes, President Obama laid out his 4-pronged strategy to defat and dismantle ISIS/ISIL/The Islamic State/'The Bad Guys'...
We suspect this tweet sums it perfectly...
POTUS Summary: We'll be bombing a sovereign nation (Syria) We'll be arming terrorist groups while fighting them. #Ref Economy is Great
— Stalingrad & Poorski (@Stalingrad_Poor) September 11, 2014
But here is The White House's official statement of strategy...
FACT SHEET: Strategy to Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a clear threat to the people of Iraq and Syria, and to the broader Middle East, as well as U.S. persons, allies and interests in the region. Left unchecked, ISIL could pose a growing threat beyond the region, including to the U.S. homeland.
The United States is meeting this threat with strength and resolve. In recent weeks, we have increased intelligence resources devoted to the threat and sent U.S. personnel to assess the situation on the ground. We have responded with immediate action to protect Americans in Iraq and to prevent large-scale humanitarian catastrophes, including by conducting over 150 successful airstrikes in Iraq. These strikes have kept our personnel and facilities in Baghdad and Erbil safe, killed ISIL fighters, destroyed ISIL equipment, protected Iraqi critical infrastructure, and broken ISIL sieges against an Iraqi city and civilians trapped on a mountain. Along with dozens of international partners, we have provided material support for Iraqi forces to support their fight against ISIL. Our strikes and resupply efforts have enabled Iraqi forces to take the fight to ISIL on the ground, reclaim key territory, and saved thousands of innocent lives.
Our goal is clear: to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy so that it’s no longer a threat to Iraq, the region, the United States, and our partners. To achieve this goal, our strategy will be underpinned by a strong coalition of regional and international partners who are willing to commit resources and will to this long-term endeavor. Dozens of countries are already contributing in Iraq – from military to humanitarian support – and in coming days and weeks we will work to strengthen and expand that coalition.
In concert with our coalition partners, the United States will carry out a comprehensive strategy to defeat ISIL and deny them safe-haven. That strategy harnesses all elements of national power and features the following core elements:
Supporting Effective Governance in Iraq: We have made clear that additional U.S. action depended on Iraq forming an inclusive government, because only a united Iraq -- with a government in Baghdad that has support from all of Iraq’s communities -- can defeat ISIL. A new Iraqi government was formally sworn in on September 8 and we will support it in efforts to govern inclusively and to take significant, concrete steps to address the legitimate grievances and needs of all Iraqis.
Denying ISIL Safe-Haven: The Iraqi Government is taking the fight to ISIL, and will ultimately be the one to defeat it in Iraq. But our Iraqi and regional partners need our support and unique capabilities to blunt ISIL’s advance. The President announced that we will conduct a systematic campaign of airstrikes against these terrorists. Working with the Iraqi government, we will expand our efforts beyond protecting our own people and humanitarian missions so that we’re hitting ISIL targets as Iraqi forces go on offense. The President also made clear that we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country, wherever they are. The President will not hesitate to take direct military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria and in Iraq. We will degrade ISIL’s leadership, logistical and operational capability, and deny it sanctuary and resources to plan, prepare and execute attacks. Simply put, ISIL will find no safe-haven.
Building Partner Capacity: We will build the capability and capacity of our partners in the region to sustain an effective long-term campaign against ISIL. The President announced that he will send an additional 475 U.S. service members to Iraq to support Iraqi and Kurdish forces with training, intelligence and equipment. In addition to providing weapons, ammunition and equipment, U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) will train and advise Iraqi forces, including Kurdish forces, improving their ability to plan, lead and conduct operations against ISIL. Further, the new Iraqi government has asked for help forming National Guard units that would be recruited locally and be responsible for protecting their own communities and securing areas freed from ISIL's control - a step that, along with long overdue political reforms, can drive a wedge between ISIL and Sunnis who have been alienated by their central government.
The President is also calling on Congress to provide additional authorities and resources to train and equip Syrian opposition fighters in the Continuing Resolution they are debating this work period, so they can defend themselves and their neighborhoods against ISIL incursions and ultimately push back on ISIL forces and the Assad regime. We will strengthen the opposition as the best counterweight to extremists like ISIL, while pursuing the political solution necessary to solve Syria’s crisis once and for all.
The growing and evolving nature of the ISIL threat underscores the importance of the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (CTPF). The CTPF request for $5 billion would allow us to train, build capacity, and facilitate support for partner countries on the front lines of countering shared terrorist threats, both in the region and beyond. The CTPF includes $500 million for a Department of Defense program to train and equip the Syrian opposition as described above and $1 billion to build resiliency in the states neighboring Syria to ensure they can continue to counter threats to their internal stability and to support communities that are contending with refugees.
Enhancing Intelligence Collection on ISIL: Continuing to gain more fidelity on ISIL’s capabilities, plans, and intentions is central to our strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy the group. Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance flights and other important efforts will strengthen our ability to understand this threat, as well as to share vital information with our Iraqi and other regional partners to enable them to effectively counter ISIL.
Disrupting ISIL’s Finances: ISIL’s expansion over the past year has given it access to significant and diverse sources of funding. The U.N. Security Council resolution that passed unanimously in August demonstrated the broad international consensus to disrupt ISIL’s finances. We are already working aggressively with our partners on a coordinated approach that includes: reducing ISIL’s revenue from oil and assets it has plundered; limiting ISIL’s ability to extort local populations; stemming ISIL’s gains from kidnapping for ransom; and disrupting the flow of external donations to the group. Our domestic laws also provide additional tools in this effort, enabling us to sanction or prosecute those who fund ISIL’s activities.
Exposing ISIL’s True Nature: Clerics around the world have spoken up in recent weeks to highlight ISIL’s hypocrisy, condemning the group’s barbarity and criticizing its self- proclaimed “caliphate.” We will work with our partners throughout the Muslim world to highlight ISIL’s hypocrisy and counter its false claim to be acting in the name of religion.
Disrupting the Flow of Foreign Fighters: Foreign terrorist fighters are ISIL’s lifeblood, and a global security threat—with citizens of nearly 80 countries filling its ranks. Over 100 foreign fighters from the United States have traveled or attempted to travel to the conflict. On September 24, the United States will convene an historic Summit-level meeting of the UN Security Council, focused on this issue.
Protecting the Homeland: We will continue to use the criminal justice system as a critical tool in our counterterrorism toolbox. Federal criminal laws provide a sound basis to prosecute those who provide material support to ISIL or who conspire with ISIL to plot attacks at home or abroad. With respect to aviation security, we will work with air carriers to implement responsible threat-based security and screening requirements, and provide additional screening to individuals suspected of affiliation with ISIL. Finally, we will counter violent extremism here at home, including tailored domestic programs to prevent violent extremism and radicalization in order to intervene with at-risk individuals before they become radicalized toward violence and decide to travel abroad to Syria and Iraq to join ISIL.
Humanitarian Support: We and our partners will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the displaced and vulnerable in Iraq and Syria. We will also continue to work with host governments to mitigate the humanitarian and economic effects of the conflict in neighboring countries, recognizing that the refugee crisis calls on our common humanity and presents a significant challenge to regional stability. As ISIL seeks to destroy the diversity of the territories it terrorizes, we will continue to work to help prevent mass atrocities, particularly against vulnerable religious and ethnic minorities.

STATEMENT BY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE CHUCK HAGEL ON PRESIDENT OBAMA'S ISIL SPEECH
President Obama laid out a strong, comprehensive strategy to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL, and the United States military is prepared to carry out its responsibilities in this counter-terrorism campaign. The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces are ready to carry out the orders of our Commander-in-Chief, to work with our partners across government, and to work with our friends and allies around the world to accomplish this mission. As the President made clear, American military power cannot alone eradicate the threats posed by ISIL to the United States, our allies, and our friends and partners in the region. Iraq's continued political progress toward a more inclusive government will be critical, as will our coalition's use of all instruments of power -- military, law enforcement, economic, diplomatic, intelligence, and humanitarian assistance -- in coordination with countries in the region.

Oh and America's economy is awesome...
Our technology companies and universities are unmatched. Our manufacturing and auto industries are thriving. Energy independence is closer than it’s been in decades. For all the work that remains, our businesses are in the longest uninterrupted stretch of job creation in our history. Despite all the divisions and discord within our democracy, I see the grit and determination and common goodness of the American people every single day, and that makes me more confident than ever about our country’s future.

The best drinking line of the speech(for those playing the Obama Drinking Game).
ISIL (Islamic State)
is not Islamic.
That was a 3 shot hit right there and now I'm wasted.
Lately we have been seeing lots and lots of emerging scenarios, which could justify war, and all running at the same time. We have the situation in Ukraine, set up by the US at great expense, and with at least 6 years of lead time (according to Wikileaks files just released http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-09/ukraines-choreographed-civil-war-revealed-wikileaks ). MH-17 initial report is so vague as to be readable as consistent with an antiaircraft missile attack, and we already know better, but this is all we get until the full report comes out next summer http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-09-09/mh17-was-struck-multiple-high-energy-objects-outside-aircraft-crash-report-reveals China is feeling her oats as a rising superpower, and it is how China has self identified for the past 3000 years.The South China Sea thing could need a war for that deep oil and gas. Justifications are being laid. Poor Philippines; poor Vietnam (bitter irony); poor Taiwan and Indonesia. Really, really in our faces are those beheadings and mass slaughters by ISIS/ISIL/IS.
Joe Biden says we'll follow them to the gates of heck, or something. Those guys are so totally bad that they would do anything, and anything we would do to kill all of them is a necessary service to the whole world. The Saudi King said they would be attacking Europe in a month, and the US in 2 months. Where did these guys come from, nightmare world? They are like al Qaeda with a Freddy Kruger mask! Then there is Ebola, which makes you die painfully and slowly with fever and bloody diarrhea, and bleeding from your eyeballs, and it comes like a thief in the night... Imagine you are Dick Cheney. Ok, ok, that's a bit too much to ask. I have an idea for a made-for-TV-movie that's an edge-of-your-seat, suspense thriller-diller.
Here's the story line: ISIS really, really wants to hurt the US, the great Satan, for decades of destruction, but can't get nuclear weapons, or any way to get them into the US. Ricin doesn't go very far, and would only kill a few people, like in that Japanese subway thing. ISIS needs something undetectable that won't show up on airline scanners, but that can still kill millions of people if they get it into the US. Hey, Ebola virus would work, and somebody could volunteer to be an Ebola suicide bomber, or even not volunteer... You get some guys from western countries, secret volunteers for ISIS, like we hear about, and tell them they have a secret mission. Some guys go to Washington DC with lots of money and have unprotected sex with 4 prostitutes a day until further orders. Unlimited ATM card, It's for Allah. Other guys go shoot heroin 4 times a day, drawing up twice what they will use, flashing a little blood back into it when they hit the vein, injecting real slow, then saying it's too strong, and leaving the half full syringe on the table while they crawl to the corner. Like Lee Oswald, these guys can just think they are establishing cover identities. Before they fly to Great Satan Land, they need a protective injection, a vaccination IV. The trick is, that it is pooled plasma from Liberian Ebola patients, frozen and flown over. By the time they get sick in 2-3 weeks, still establishing their cover identities, they could easily have infected 100 denizens of Washington DC. They would have infected the folks most likely to further infect others. These guys could even be shot in an alley when they get sick, before all the bleeding. That would get some infection going in the coroner's office. Ebola would never be suspected. Who is the first to figure it out? Who breaks it to the American people? What emergency measures have to be taken, to assure the continuity of government? Who must be brought to justice for this unbelievably heinous perfidy? Who gets nuked? Who gets quarantined? Where? Where do we put all those potentially infected people who had sex with prostitutes and used IV drugs in Washington DC? Where do we put everybody who they live with?
Anyway, it's just an idea for a made-for-TV-movie, but who could turn it off once they got into it, huh? It pulls everything together, doesn't it?Where can our elected representatives and top civil servants and military leaders go to safely carry on the work they must do to bring us through this crisis? Nothing must stand in the way of that mission! Where do treatments come from to protect us, and those masks, and rubber gloves, and goggles, and isolation suits?
You don't even need any big name actors. It's all in the plot.
Do you know of anybody who could fund a project like this?
Obama’s False Flag Speech Tonight
Define IS.IL
The other 3 shot line:
Sending 475 more US troops to Iraq.
But no troops to foreign soil.

When he made the laughable statement that ISIS is not Islamic...
He should have tried to give it credibility by prefacing it with his oft-used lie... "Most experts agree..."
Aw Lawdie, Lawdie, Lawdie, I's be commin' ta takes the weariness o' da wold of be man's shoudas. Lawdie, Lawdie, Lawdie...
What kind of shit is this?
It isn't even a fucking strategy.
Jesus, people....
Not only trying to do the same as Bush, but can't even do it competently, FFS
PS Putin is busting a gut laughing at this shit, trying to figure not the best way to "beat" America, but the next best way to "embarrass" America
PSS What the fuck are you trying to do to me? Cause an overdose of benzodiazopines getting me to listen to John McCain babbling with Jay Carney. Jesus H Christ on a Crutch! You people are fucking dangerous!
I voted for Obama because he's black. I have a deep sense of white guilt. So why don't you kill me?
the us government has gone rogue.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCrLDQwNlqw
I voted for Obama because he's black.
That's OK....so did a lot of other people.
He's also a muslim...but don't expect him to tell you that.
"Islamic State is not Islamic"
How fucking moronic can Obama be...
nothin' but a psy-op to eventually be used against the American people and all free people around the world. This will become Patriot Act part II in America and we'll lose even more freedom.
It's all part of the grand NWO scheme.
Muslims are allowed to lie for the furterance of their religion. Is Obama being moronic or is he lying like a good Muslim would do?
As far as his saying that the Isliamic State, ISIS or ISIL, is not Islamic, we have to go back to Slick Willie for an explanation. Obama is simply saying this:
It depends on what the meaning of IS is.
It depends upon what the meaning of Islamic is. Is the Idiot in Chief Islamic?
NO; because we need you to get over your propaganda and remember that White people did everything and gave you everything that makes up modern life; and vote white next time. Everyone changes their socks; you can also change your mind.
All Putin needs to say is we will deal with ISL in Syria and the US can deal with them in Iraq. Game over!
Inside Every ISIS Rebel is an American Trying to Get Out.
fuck it i'm done for the day
ISIS Rebel in Iraq=bad
ISIS Rebel in Syria=good.
Just kill half and help the other half....should work out fine.
It's in Russia's best interests to stay on the sidelines and watch as the USA destroys itself thru sheer moronic leadership.
McCain, Hillary, Obama, Nuland, Rice, Kerry, Bohner... is THIS the best this great nation can come up with?????
We are so TOTALLY fucked.
You are indeed. My deepest sympathy. Sincerely. Not sarc.
McCain, Hillary, Obama, Nuland, Rice, Kerry, Boehner
Can you spot the difference? Yeah....didn't think so.
We're all one big happy family....which would explain this.

It's not in Russia's (or China's) long term interests that the United States be allowed to drop bombs in any sovereign country without the express permission and coordination of local authorities.
It's not in the long term interests of the American people that the United States government be allowed to drop bombs in any sovereign country (etc.) including the United States itself.
Come on pull back the curtain at least a little and you see there is no nation we are only a colony of the monarchy. These dippy clowns all get orders from a higher source through corruption. Ask yourself two questions, why and where does LIBOR set world interest rates, where did empire move after Rome - Venice - ???. Everything repeats until the remnants of empire is eliminated - a broken record.
how about some comic relief, ziobot ted cruz booed off the stage for spouting idiotic propaganda:
http://dailycaller.com/2014/09/10/ted-cruz-booed-off-stage-at-middle-eas...
ISIS is NOT an Islamic State......and if you don't understand that, it IS because you don't know what the definition of the word IS IS.
I get it.
Since ISIS kills Muslims for not being sufficiently Islamic, Obama is giving them no option other than to kill themselves.
Genius.
Religion turning people against each other isn't a coincidence, it is by design. It intentionally generates differences between groups of people through things such as clothing and eating & drinking habits, in order to foster the "us vs them" mentality.
One of the side-effects of this dynamic is that once religion runs out of outsiders or "heathens" to blame for all the bad things in the world, it inevitably starts pitting the devout against one another over issues of interpretation, or "purity". Most Christians in the world were butchered or burned by other Christians over the Catholic vs Protestant divides, and likewise, Muslims have most to fear from fellow Muslims through the mutual accusations of apostasy.
It is not a coincidence the Nazis had the words "God With Us" engraved on their belts. The far-right for all intents and purposes took the divisionary practices that were pioneered by religion and brought them to the next level, culminating in the Second World War and the Holocaust.
Apostasy, is that some kind of condiment? As bad as religion goes, theocide runs a distant second to democide. Fear and Greed rule men's actions, fear & greed.
I knew that interview was going to be two streams of hot bullshit spewing out of their mouths and colliding in air and yet I still clicked on it. I'm dissapointed in myself.
Just tell me which Fema camp to go to. I surrender. I can't take the lies any more.
Stay away from the benzos Knucks...

....... oh fuck sorry ........ Obamyacare ...... geez you think he's working on an Psycho-economic opera ??
Everything obama has done in office has been W on steroids. EVERYTHING. He has the same overlords as W-The Saudis. We Are So Dead.
Ain't no emir or sultan pulling the strings here. Just the normal winds of democracy. War, no war, moar war, negative war. Eventually it'll oscillate out of control and we'll end up at Mad Max.
The rothschilks have owned the saudi for decades.
Nothing happens accidentally, or unplanned. The rothschilds own the eastern oil, and the rockfellers own the western oil.
Like almost every other country and the puppet leaders, saudi is owned and just another pawn of the bankster globalists in the ever unfolding plans to destroy America. The eyes of the nations alert people are all distracted by the antics and put on acts of the lower leader puppets like in tonights speech, when they should really be focused on the head of the hydra beast that owns them and sets the agendas of war for profits and population elimination.
False flag event? Might be as suggested above. A slow moving train of ebola.
TahoeBilly2012;
I might have had a great comment. Think it was about the fact the US Government, US Federal Reserve, & US Banks can't tell the truth about any US History. We all know our history gets buried as government controls the media in "Crisis" times.
Nothing new there.
John Williams was talking about US Federal Debt on USAWatchdog.com...
A) US Govt/US Banks/US Central Bank won't be honest about Inflation, GDP, Total Debt, Value of the Dollar, US Financial Health, Ability to Fight the Next War while $17.6 Trillion in Debt, Importance of Decline in US Petrol Dollar, Poor Stewardship of US Petrol Dollar by USA, Corruptions of US Dollar by US Military Empire Aspirations, Corruption of US Government by Lobbying including Corruption of US Universities & Laboratories....
B) So the Emperor Has no Clothes
C) Credibility of USA... Requires Constant Lying by US Officials
D) There is no Official SOTU Speech
E) Any Speech from Washington DC MUST include Lies that Serve the Empire
F) US Economy Depends on continued Liquidity, Lies will be told to justify this and justify Bail-Ins
G) Corruption of this kind depends on only one kind of FIX, that of more liquidity in Crisis
H) John Williams is pointing out subtly that motivations and management systems of the US Government (just like the corporate system) rely on rewards & punishments of employees ... who will do anything to keep employment and further the Mission, Objectives and Goals of the Organization... This creates a situation where in the USA there is no "Alternative" to money pumping, QE, ZIRP, Increased Federal Spending
I) Effectively: this means USA will continue to go to WAR
the saudis fields are so mined with semtex and other tasty chemicals that no one can have the fields except the saudis
all it takes is to push one red button and the fields are gone for like 200 years
"all it takes is to push one red button and the fields are gone for like 200 years"
You say that like it's a bad thing.
Before all is said and done saudi arabia will cease to exist. Its oil fields will be a lake of oil set ablaze. Truth is if one destroyed saudi arabia the whole western world would collapse.
Don't you remember, it a secret (one of the additional 7 states), probably Mexico is another the reason we can't defend the border.
It's like having "What Me Worry", from Mad Magazine for President. It's also a lot like living in a giant outdoor lunatic asylum.
That's the problem with being a pathalogical liar. Even if they tell the truth some of the time, how do you know the difference?
"Sending" 475 more troops means they've already been "sent" (with many more to follow). Laser-guided bombs are a lot more accurate when you have SF lasing the targets for you from a stationary position on the ground.
They're not actually sending anyone. See, drone operators don't have to be "sent", they have remote controls.
"Laser-guided bombs are a lot more accurate when you have SF lasing"
Oh yeah train some FSA that morph into and fight beside ISIS then crawl in to lase the same motherfuckers we just trained armed and supported. I bet SF is just fucking loving this shit!!!!!!!!!
At least the SF team will have definite visual confirmation...." oh ok I recognized that guy, its Hassan I trained him in Jordan a few months back"
Still I highly doubt they will degrade ISISL, its more like bomb them away from the Saudi border and push them back into Syria. While saying they are degrading them in Syria the govt bombs the Syrian army...
It's not unlike how the CIA was financing and training the Taliban in Afghanistan during the 1970s, in an apparent bid to prevent the spread of the Soviet sphere of influence in that part of the world. We all saw how that eventually worked out.
History may not repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes.
Hey Cosmos it is Hassan it is! Holy shit he is driving around in Smokes old humvee too and !@#$ thats Redogs M1 tank behind him. WTF they have so many FIM-92's they could build a staircase to hell with them! Wait a minute......Why do I suddenly feel like a Hadji trying to push back the US Army? Cosmos.....which side are we on? That last time I got blown up it...it must have scrambled my brain! Cosmos....Cosmos..... hmmm where did he go?
Didn't the cocksucker in chief say we were going to arm the FSA while killing ISIS??? Aren't they on the same side in the fight? LOL
This is going to be a fucking mess. FSA... even if they did like us before won't for long and then, we may as well just kill them all... ISIL, Assad and FSA then, wait for the next boogie man to appear.
And, that's the biggest thing.... Who will fill the vacuum next? Will we be their friend?
No boots on the ground! Drone pilots wear shoes.
Peace Prize President Presented Publicly Personal Plodding Perpetual Pugilism Plan
Clearly only the Truly Exceptional get to define what "Muslim" or "Foreign Soil" is.
Or what IS IS.
Or what a terrrrrist is. Soldiers returning from Iraq who mopped up the mess Bushy and Obomber made? Terrrrists. Housewives who stock up on canned tuna at the sale price? Terrrrrrists. Hunters who buy guns and bullets and knives and bows? Terrrrrrists. People who homeschool their kids? Terrrrrrists.
Shrieking Muslims waving detached heads on camera and screaming "Allahu Akbar"? Not terrrrists. Merely oppressed and misunderstood gentlemen who are feared because RAYCISS.
Oh shit, we look like we're either triple terrrrists or quadruple terrrrists, depending on who you ask.
Just donate $100 to LGBT charity and claim it on your 1040. No more questions.
Thats nothing new. If joe sixpack had any idea....""Populations with a high proportion of growth. The young people, who are in much higher proportions in many LDCs, are likely to be more volatile, unstable, prone to extremes, alienation and violence than an older population. These young people can more readily be persuaded to attack the legal institutions of the government or real property of the ‘establishment,' ‘imperialists,' multinational corporations, or other-often foreign-influences blamed for their troubles" [Chapter V, "Implications of Population Pressures for National Security]."

Since war is the main source of employment in the Middle East, the head-chopping violence of ISIS constitutes "workplace violence". Now it should all make sense.

What was that long section in the middle about?
If he's confident, I am worried
I love how he says he will take us to war, hopefully with Congress's 'support' and not their permission.
Constitutional law degree my ass...
Yeah, I know. I read an article earlier in which Obomber declared he didn't need permission for Congress to declare war on ISIS. The fuck? You can't declare war on an entity, only a nation, and you sure as shit need Congress to approve. I think he uses his degree in Constitutional law to wipe up the jizz Reggie left on his ass cheeks.
If you can declare a war on "terror" (what's that an adjective) you can certainly declare a war on an entity. Most likely even another galaxy at this point, coming soon.
War on Drugs, War on Poverty. Desensitized. Job done.
You left out War on Women. Lots of casualties in that one.
Cock sucker just admitted he's going to continue Arming, Funding & Training Terror Organization. Hey Criminal CEO, The American People are United, United to Impeach, Arrest, Tri, Convict & Execute your War Criminal Trasonous Ass!!!
You can't impeach when you've got pussy Republican Congresscritters who are scared to death of Political Correctness and what the MSM will say about them.
I suspect that the real explanation for the impotent and feckless behavior by both parties, has to do with our Domestic and Foreign Policy being dictated by another entity - a kind of a Shadow Government.

The idea that "no religion condones violence" is absurd for so many reasons. I don't know how any thinking person can say those words.
Violence isn't condoned by the Qu'ran. It is CODIFIED in the Qu'ran.
By the number of downvotes you got there appears to be many that have never read the quran and are in denial.
Yea, those fanatical religious Humanitarians are the worst, they speak in foreign tongues, wrap themselves in flags and pay homage to a Central Bank and offer burnt sacrifice of women and children on a cordite alter.
What? 600 million dead in the 20th century at the hands of their own government don't count?
It's called Democide.

The US (via the mouthpiece of Obomba) has effectively declared war on the rest of the world. My money is solidly on 'The rest of the world'.
We spend trillions on the military-police state and the border is invaded and wide open. When is the Pentagon or military going to uphold The Constitution?
Russia better have those S-300's operational in Syria.
When is the Pentagon or military going to uphold The Constitution?
Ha! Obozo has made damn sure over the last 6 years to fill all the top-brass slots with career-climbing ass-kissing yes-men who will not hesitate to give the order to fire on American citizens whenever he tells them to.
Gas pipeline thru Syria to supply EU makes trillions for Qutar, takes trillions from Russia. This is a chess game between US/Qutar and Russia/Iran on who will supply gas to EU. Russia will be happy w stalemate but will never give up the EU gas market.
and in order to get the prize aka the EU market, the US is starting a war there.
Sounds reasonable, echoes of "we had to destroy it in order to save it" are bouncing off the walls.
Fuck the US.
USA. (United States)
Is not United.
He mention everything ISI, Economy, Ebola, but left out the Blue Light Special.
remember what he said about benghazi
That turned out well.
"And make no mistake, we will work with the Libyan government to bring to justice the killers who attacked our people."
Benghazi was a workplace incident.
If Benghazi never happened we might not need to drop in more arms for ISIS/L or the FSA, as they would already be there.
pods
Workplace incidents .....
Benghazi was a workplace incident.
Yep, Like Ft Hood was a workplace incident.
Dear President 5-Iron,
I have but one thing to say to you:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjC8SKHG5cU
Go get your shinebox?
Ouch!
i wouldn't let that pathetic excuse for a human being anywhere near my shoes.
I guess you've never stepped in dog shit?
'Our doctrine of exceptionalism allows us to do things which we find reprehensible and sanctionable when other nations do them, such as bomb sovereign nations based on pretexts we prepare by and for ourselves.'
Even if he had said that, I'd almost feel better than that incoherent rambling mess he just read off the teleprompter. At least you'd know where he stood.
"Our successes in Yemen and Somalia"?? Did you catch that one? Jesus Christ on a pogo stick, this dude is out on Pluto somewhere.
USA - bringing liberty, peace and love from above, around the globe.
How sweet. Do they decorate the drones with peace signs, doves, hearts, and 'Murican flags now?
They're not allowed to write the word "fuck" on their drones, because it's obscene.
He's not out on Pluto, it's going to work. Sorry, I mean the propaganda.
Liberals and Democrats still love him. They all do - scum.
Took less than two minutes to tell us that this was effectively not reflective of the Muslim faith....
After all, they love peace.

Yeah, that's the thing that gets me - they bend over backwards to protect a head-chopping, woman subjugating, pedophilia tolerant "religion of peace" yet Christianity is methodically eliminated around the world and now here in the US.
And why do the democrats not want to seal our porous southern border?! Every other country in the world has sacrosanct sovereign borders that our president defends. Not us. Ours have to be kept open for newly arriving voters. With TB.
I didnt know the Dems needed the Muslim vote that bad... This mid-term may get interesting afterall.
Summary of Obama's speech (which i turned off after one minute to listen to oldies and commercials):
BULLSHIT, LIES, and PREVARICATIONS
Ditto.
Another war, great.
Perpetual war. Gotta keep the MIC flush.
That speech was awful. I have no idea what our mission is, I have no idea what we're prepared to do to accomplish it, I don't believe for a second that there won't be any "boots on the ground", and worse, I don't believe he knows or believes it either.
This is how idiots in over their heads in international affairs get a lot of people killed. Ours. Theirs. Innocent bystanders. All while making the entire world less stable, emboldening our enemies and alienating our allies.
And that's just his words. Wait till you see the mess that this "military campaign" becomes.
I'll sum it up. The deal with the devil is not working too well. We need more souls, as ours aren't enough any more. The 'enemy' is not willing, so force will be used. The bankers will be happy.
I thought I was having an other-worldly experience. I was good with attacking ISIS but then he has to go into Muslim apologetics and then admits we are doing a 3-way in Syria. We will simultaneously oppose Assad, support "good" rebels fighting him, kill the bad rebels who are fighting the good rebels, and Assad and actually anyone adjacent. We will then get good Muslims, Shia and Sunni especially to help us fight the bad Muslims who are sometimes fighting Assad, sometimes fighting rebels and sometimes fighting good Muslims, Persians, Arabs and Kurds. We will train "good" rebels who heretofore we could not tell from "bad" rebels a.k.a. ISIS and hope they don't turn out to be or become "bad" rebels in the future.
Holy shitskamole! Seriously, if you tried, if someone told you to write a script for some dark screwed up war comedy in the Middle East...could you actually write this? Tonight, it was on your TV in real time and on the President's teleprompter.
How would you like to be the Special Forces trainers sitting in a class getting ready to deploy. Instructor: "Okay men, the first class is how to tell "good" Muslims from bad Muslims from good Muslims that go bad. This will be followed by, a class on telling the difference between Kurds, Shia, Sunni's, Yazidi, bad Sunni's, bad Shia, Assad Alawhite, Assad Shia in Lebanon, bad Sunni's in Iraq, good Sunni's in Syria, bad Sunni's in Iraq and so on. This will be followed by weekly updates on who we like and are on our side versus who has changed sides and wants to kill us this week. Stay tuned men, because it can change at any moment."
ISIS are true believers in the quran and simply doing what it demands
exactly these are the true islamists, and their horrors are the true islam, apologists are delusional.
Beni satanyahu, is that you trying to shill again?
You have not read the Quran or texts such as the "Arab Mind" or are willfully delusional?
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/011-taqiyya.htm
see the red herring/strawman for what it is... its really not that complicated. no one with a brain believes that muslims did 911. likewise, anyone with a brain knows that the central bankers are the true criminals destroying the United States, and countless other countries. so remind me, who is the real enemy? who presents an actual danger to the American people?
the time of lies is ending...
Well said John.
Because worldwide banking and a culture of elites threaten us Muslims are totally off the hook? Thomas Jefferson, Churchill and 1,000 years of history strongly suggest otherwise.. You John are an idiot and a prevaricating one at that..
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/quran/023-violence.htm
Citing actual passages from the Koran appears to bother some downvoters here.
ISIS are true believers in the torah bora and the talmudics and simply doing what that satanic book demands
fixed it for ya moses
your such an idiot
That's his shtick.
Article missed the part about "Russian aggression".
Obomba did say he was supporting people fighting for their freedom. Somehow it looks like it doesn't include Ukraine.
Or the USSA
What a fucktard...Enough of this shit holed sorry assed MF already
Paraphrasing Richard Engel - 'When the government of a sovereign nation is our 'partner' (like Yemen) it is ok to kill their civilians, and those we deem terrorists, by remote control, and without trial, because they are our 'partners'. If the target state is hostile, we need to be more careful because there might be consequences associated these actions'. Also 'there is nothing inherently wrong in the idea of US trying to mediate the Shia/Sunni divide, except that our track record in this regard is bad. EVEN THOUGH IT IS INHERENTLY something that is none of our fucking business'.
i wouldn't watch that vomit-inducing speech if you paid me.
"i wouldn't watch that vomit-inducing speech if you paid me."
BINGO!!!! WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!
These are the best words written on this page....
First, who needs the NWO as an excuse to drink...
But, second...what part of "Military" Industrial Complex did you "not" understand????
There has to be a "few" who understand micro-economics here?
"inventory"?...gotta move these microwave ovens...
Arm the Kurds. Of course that could be problematic because the Kurds generally like the Israelis.
Take a look at the map of the "new middle east" prepared by the neocons years ago. Note how Iraq is divided into a shia state and a sunni state, and then look north to that big purple blob labelled "free Kurdistan." Arming the Kurds is not about defeating ISIS, it's about further destabilizing the Middle East, because the hyper-nationalistic Kurds WILL use whatever weapons we give them to carve out more territory for themselves.
