President Obama Addresses The United Nations General Assembly - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

"We did it for your own good," could perhaps be the mantra of President Obama's address to The United Nations' General Assembly this morning as the Nobel Peace Prize winner looks his fellow world-leaders in the eye and explains why the US unilaterally invaded Syria to save them all from the Dread Pirate Roberts ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State (and now The Khorasan Group). As AP reports, on Wednesday afternoon, Obama will convene an unusual meeting of the U.N. Security Council, during which members were expected to adopt a resolution that would require all countries to prevent the recruitment and transport of would-be foreign fighters preparing to join terrorist groups such as the Islamic State group. Good luck with that.

 

Will they fly in an Airforce One chopper as a dramatic backdrop for this speech?

President Obama is due to speak at 10amET (we hope he does not keep the world waiting...)

 

As AP reports, the U.S.-led campaign against the Islamic State militant group is expected to dominate President Obama's address Wednesday morning before the United Nations General Assembly,

The president is expected to cast the U.S. as the linchpin in efforts to defeat the militant group, more commonly known as ISIS. After launching strikes against militant targets in Iraq for over a month, the U.S. expanded its action into Syria Monday evening with the help of five Arab allies. Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates joined the U.S. in carrying out airstrikes, while Qatar played a supporting role.

 

The airstrikes were not only aimed at ISIS, but also an Al Qaeda-linked terror cell called The Khorasan Group, which the Pentagon said was nearing the "execution phase" of a direct attack on the U.S. or Europe.

 

Early Wednesday, Syrian activists told the Associated Press that aircraft had conducted at least 10 airstrikes on suspected ISIS targets near the border with Iraq.

 

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says it was not immediately clear who carried out the air raids Wednesday in and around Boukamal, but cited locals as saying the intensity of the air raids was similar to that of the first wave of strikes on the town by the U.S. and its allies early Tuesday.

 

...

 

Meanwhile, the British parliament is expected to be recalled Friday to discuss a possible role for the U.K. in airstrikes against ISIS.

 

Cameron told NBC News Tuesday evening that the fight against ISIS was a battle "you cannot opt out of.

 

"It has oil, it has money, it has territory, it has weapons, and there's no doubt in my mind it has already undertaken and is planning further plots in Europe and elsewhere," Cameron said.

ZATO NLP chuckle of the day:

"...The airstrikes were not only aimed at ISIS, but also an Al Qaeda-linked terror cell called The Khorasan Group, which the Pentagon said was nearing the "execution phase" of a direct attack on the U.S. or Europe..."

Iranians are Shia; Fake al Qaeda are Wahabi Sunnis.

There are no al Qaeda running around Iran because the Iranians would promptly kill them. 

The new CIA fantasy footbal terrorist team is named "The Khorasan Group." ZATO didn't just pull that name out of their ass - it's a region that covers parts of Afghanistan, southern parts of the three stooges-ziostans and Iran. 

In fact, the easternmost province in Iran is called Khorasan. See what they did here? They're softening up your brain cells to accept the cognitive dissonance of an Iranian al Qaeda threat. That will come in handy for the planned Iranian genocide and you can be damn sure there will be U.S. boots on the ground for that one. 

No, it won't be President Hillary's call when it happens. She has no say in the matter. She will just be Israeli's next bitch in line and they have already 'decided' for her (and by extension, for the American people as well).

See why the founding fathers didn't like wacky ideas like dual-citizen congressmen?

How does this lying sack of shit sleep at night? It's not even like he's putting a little spin on the truth - he's outright doing a 180 degree lie maneuver - accusing others (specifically RUS) of the shit that his government is global #1 at. Doesn't he feel like a total ass speaking those words, or is he so deluded that he actually believes them? If U.S. .gov and foreign policy isn't at peak hypocricy, then it's damn near to it...

Unfortunately, Khorasan is real estate in Northeast Iran.

It is very likely that it foreshadows the next target for Balkanization (Iran).

Those who created and named this horrific, world-wide existential threat know this and did it on purpose.

Expect the next ISIS-type Al-CIAda proxy force to develop from Afghanistan to Iran, seeking to re-establish some old Caliphate. Expect the lame stream media to faithfully and immediately report all their social media declarations and slick public relations videos.

thanks, I did not know that. in Europe, those specific NWO references of Bush jr are more often then not (wrongly or not) associated with unilateralism, coalitions of the willing, etc.

this while similar references by - for example Gordon Brown - are then associated with multilateralism, more consensus, etc.

but I did not know that Clinton used them, too

in short, here we are usually not sure what the person using this label is really meaning, which then leads to huge criticism for even using it, which then is a form of PC. in short, a mess

We are going to find out that The Khorasan Group is supporting Assad in some way.

I had no idea who they were but a quick google search shows Khorasan as a province in Iran. My guess is that they were activley working with the Assad government against ISIS as an Iranian back door into Syria to provide support.

The Fed desperately needs more Gold to keep shorting. They got Iraq's gold, Lybia's  gold, Ukraine's gold.  Now they're working on Syria's gold and when that's gone, there's lots and lots of gold in Iran. And when that's gone, well ... friends will turn into foes, just as did Saddam (who waged a 10 year war on Iran for Washington) and Assad (who tortured suspects for Washington). And when all that gold is gone in who knows how many years, we will be reminded that nearly all the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis, and abracadabra, it'll be their turn. If Assad has half a brain, he's moved Syria's gold to Russia or China.

That should do it -Dow can go up 1000 points-Obama just gave us a formula for long and lasting world peace. Thousands of Muslim youth who hear this speech will throw down their arms, reject terror and go back to school to better their lives. Assad will resign, Putin will give back Crimea, and the world will gladly allow the US to occupy their countries and lead them to democracy, freedom and peace. It's all very simple. How can anyone resist and reject this inspiring message from this wise, benificient and great Nobel peace Prize winner. Looks lie he is on track to win another one.

Granny: Oh my dears, it's so good to see you, I've heard all about the ISIS out in your area, are you OK?
Surfer 1: Yeah, L.A.'s like totally overrun. It's like bad.
Surfer 2: The police have their eyes on them everywhere.
Surfer 1: Yeah, it's everywhere.

No, his favorite phrase is to "make sure" something or other. His presidency's whole sales pitch is to the aging demographic in the U.S. They're all looking for security, financial security, secure from "terror," health inSUREance, on and on. Americans have lost their nerve because they've become old and weak. Their faith is at a low ebb. Altogether, they desperately crave a leader who'll continually tell them he's gonna "make sure" this or that 'till the cows come home. It's Obozo's biggest lie, he repeats it over and over, because if you think about it for just a second, tell me one thing in this life about which you can be absolutely "SURE."

Still waiting for him to explain why our suddenly new and improved Arab allies of the moment will only join us in bombing ISIS in Syria, but, not ISIS in Iraq.

What’s the real difference in their minds? Are ISIS members in Iraq now more moderate than ISIS in Syria, but, less moderate than the moderate Syrian rebels we support, some of whom started ISIS in the first place?

I’m so confused. Please Mr. President, give me a terrorist moderation scale or something so I can know just how much to hate our various enemies.

I tried not to cringe while watching that speech, but you could just feel the delegates' silent laughter at Obama's naivete.  Does he actually believe the crap he was spouting? Certainly no one else does.
