Presidents Obama & Hollande Explain How They Will 'Contain' ISIS Again - Live Feed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With 11 days passed since the horrific actions in Paris, French President Francois Hollande arrived at the White House to discuss the conflict with President Barack Obama, likely asking for greater cooperation (with Russia - who Hollande will meet Thursday) in the battle against ISIS. Obama and Hollande made no statements as they began their meeting in the Oval Office but we can only imagine Turkey’s downing of a Russian fighter jet over its border with Syria produced fresh complications for the international campaign against Islamic State.

As Bloomberg adds,

Hollande met Monday with U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron and is scheduled to meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday.

 

He will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday.

 

Hollande is expected to encourage Obama to ramp up the U.S. campaign against Islamic State. Republican presidential candidates and, to a lesser extent, some Democratic lawmakers have complained that U.S. hasn’t made sufficient progress toward destroying the militant group.

 

Obama has said U.S. contributions to the military campaign are robust, and has called for unspecified international partners to increase their efforts. He opposes establishing a no-fly zone over parts of Syria or committing U.S. ground troops to the fight, escalations proposed by some Republicans.

 

“We will destroy them. We will take back land that they are currently in. We will cut off their financing. We will hunt down their leadership. We will dismantle their networks and their supply lines, and we will ultimately destroy them,” Obama said at a news conference on Sunday in Malaysia.

Live Feed (due to start at 1130ET)...

 

There is some serious irony here, as CNN reports,

A dozen years ago, it was a French President -- Jacques Chirac -- who was calling for restraint as George W. Bush was bristling for war with Saddam Hussein in Iraq following the September 11 attacks. And it was a French foreign minister who warned that Washington might win the war but lose the peace if it fractured Iraq.

 

The changing dynamic between the two old allies reflects the impact of 14 long years of war that has left America weary of foreign intervention, as well as the insistence by Obama that a rush to war after terror attacks often goes awry.

 

It also reflects acute political pressures for immediate retribution faced by leaders -- like Hollande -- of nations that come under terrorist attacks and the consequential choices on national security they face at times of maximum national stress.

 

Hollande's domestic political pressure and desire to aggressively pursue ISIS may not be sufficient to overcome Obama's reluctance over his major agenda items: forming an enhanced coalition of military forces willing to escalate the battle against ISIS through ramped-up airstrikes and, to make that work, closer U.S. cooperation with Russia, which is also conducting strikes on the terror group and other elements in Syria.

Drink if Obama or Hollande say the word "Contained."

Since when does anything that 0bama says about military or foreign policy mean anything? It's all lies and obfuscations. If he says he is going to destroy ISIS, then you can depend on the idea that he will do exactly the opposite. As far as Hollande is concerned, if he had any balls, or even actual interest in opposing Islamists, he'd fight the tens of thousands of muslim extremists that are living in the banlieus right under his nose. Instead, he is pretending to attack them in Syria, because (a) he is obviously a pro-Muslim globalist and (b) he's an effeminate faggot just like 0bama and (c) it's much easier to pretend to fight something thousands of miles away from home where nobody can really notice that you're not having any meaningful effect. 0bama already proved how efficacious that strategy is for propaganda purposes.

Once we round up all the dark skinned people and ship them out to the gulag, only then will America be great again and we can restore humanity in the world by bombing the middle east again. We need to bomb it once a week to show them who is boss.Once the wall is built we can get hard working families back to work making things.

ISIS sells crude oil to Turkey and Israel to raise money. Of course, the US is aware of that and can easily stop these sales if it wanted to.

The so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria(ISIS) began selling Iraqi crude oil extracted from oil fields which its seized in recent months and exporting it through the Kurdish region to Turkish refineries and from Turkey's Mediterranean port of Ceyhan ultimately to Israel.

You see, there's that "contain" word again. It's been spoken about on these pages before, but people should really pay attention to the underlying message here. They have no interest in destroying ISIS, they want them strong enough to defeat Assad, but not strong enough to attack Europe and the US. Call me crazy, but I think that ship has sailed. What is wrong with these people and their fucked up logic?

Our proxy does not need to observe any rules of war...so much better than US troops contained by silly 'rules of engagement'. This way we can execute Russian pilots and not have to house them until after hostilities.

It might look bad on our 'humanitarian' resume though.

Sibel Edmonds Examines Turkey, Syria and the Kurdish Question

 

Syria is once again the centre of attention with Washington and Ankara agreeing on “ISIS-free zones” that each partner is interpreting in its own way. Joining us to explore those interpretations is Sibel Edmonds of BoilingFrogsPost.com, just back from the region with intel on a possible timeline for increased military action in the country. In this conversation James and Sibel discuss Turkey’s battle against the Kurds and how the Kurdish population are being used by the US and Israel as pawns in a complex chess game. We also examine the recent bombing in Suruc and signs that it was a false flag provocation.

It is times like this when I believe that the demons/archons (or by whatever name you want to call them) actually parasitically infest our world and have the ability to transplant themselves and posess human hosts.

It seems possible that Hitler was actually killed during the Bierhall Putsch and seems just as possible that Obama is not the original Obama posessing that body. How many others could have plagued this world? Stalin and Mao both supposedly changed after attaining power.
