Who Said This On Friday? "ISIS Is Not Getting Stronger, We Have Contained Them"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

President Barack Obama seemingly downplayed the threat of ISIS in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Good Morning America.”

Stephanopoulos asked Obama if ISIS was gaining in strength, to which Obama denied they were.

“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them."

via ABC...

 

"Contained" - we are not sure that word means what you think it does.

The "US Air Force gets Jihadi John" after years of trying and SPENDING BILLIONS!

That's all bullshit anyway...we've known where "john" was for a long time; he's our creation...made him in our own image...our propaganda tool...just like YOU!

There are two sides in Syria:

1. A CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT with executive, legislative, and judicial branches that has successfully run the country since the 1970's.

2. A rag-tag bunch of Muslim Nutjob groups trying to take the country backwards a 1000 years.

The USA is backing #2...Russia is backing #1...I'm with Russia...whose side are you on?

Well, in liberal math 2+2= what ever your self esteem requires, so of course the size of ISIS is shrinking.

The Russians have contained them, and the country that created them will take the credit for it. Just like they took credit for the ww2

At least 85% of grunt work in WWII was courtesy of the Russians.  They were the ones that turned back the best Germany threw at them.  By the end of the war, Russian industry was outproducing Germany by a large margin.  All during putting up with a huge loss of Russian territory.

No U.S. male in his right mind should sign up to fight the battles of a Commander who is not committed to absolute victory over and unconditional surrender of every sworn enemy. This lead-from-behind mollycoddle rules-of-engagement BS started back in Korea and got big legs in Viet Nam. Enough is enough. Annihilate every armed enemy wherever they are found.

ZH needs to have a 'sticky' somewhere that people can put their favorite names for the lawn jockey. I think history will show that he is the most hated and reviled president in all of recorded American history, and it would be a shame not to memorialize our hatred of him somewhere.

Winston, the important point is how they act when put into a situation involving pressure from "leaders" to defend Allah. Refusing anything could mean death. Kind of like how the guys in my generation were threatened with prison for refusing to be drafted.

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF NO COMMENTS ALLOWED ON THIS. It seems 90% are written by imbeciles, or institutionalized leftists. ONLY Marx comment worthwhile: 

"Since 2009, Obama has admitted more than 250,000 Muslims each year, via family reunification sought by new Muslim citizens and government invites to Muslims fleeing wars in the chaotic Islamic heartland of the Middle East. In 2013, for example, Obama’s government admitted 280,276 people from Muslim-majority countries where the notion of jihad against non-Muslims is a conventional belief.

Since 2009, Obama has admitted more than 250,000 Muslims EACH YEAR.
Since 2011, over 100 Muslim immigrants have been charged with jihad-related crimes inUS.
Since 2009, Obama welcomed Muslim immigrants, although only 10% are skilled enough to live without welfare.

Right, contained in Syria facing Assad, thats what we were paying them to do, unfortunate we could not see them taking advantage of free entry to Europe, sad when your bought and paid for terrorist group wont do what you tell them.

Obama's timing is nearly as bad as the Goreckle; he had to suspend his 24-hour climate change broadcase from the Eifel Tower after 5 hours because of the muslim rampage.  Couldn't happen to more deserving fellows.

First, he takes credit for the work Putin has done.

Then, he lies about the US weapons ending up with ISIS (like TOW and AT4 rockets)

Next, he lies about ISIS

Finally, he wraps up to go for a game a golf.

He is a marxist infiltrator.

Too much Crack inside OBomber's head.

From first to last action the USA government is responsible for the current problems.

When do they realise that no more action is wanted from them? Not ever.

Maybe when the world has said enough and tells USA citizens to stay inside their own borders?

ISIS was created by the Americans and their NATO allies including FRANCE. As long as NATO is not "contained," ISIS will not be contained.

NATO = ISIS

USA = NATO

How can the French denounce the work of their own minions, ISIS? Remember, France is a democracy and the French people choose their government. Therefore, the French are responsible for the actions of their government that supports ISIS which the French simply label as 'anti-Assad forces' to cover up their duplicity, involvement and RESPONSIBILITY in the atrocities committed by ISIS. To add insult to injury, the French, along with their American friends, bomb Syrian infrastructure back into the stone age pretending that they are only hitting ISIS.

FRANCE = ISIS
