Kerry: Obama “Totally Committed” To Stoping ISIS, Taking A “Holistic Approach” With “Kinetic” Action…
Never mind what American news reports say: President Obama is “totally committed” to dealing with ISIL — and his strategy is “becoming more clear by the day,” Secretary of State John Kerry told U.S. allies at the NATO summit in Wales on Friday.
“Contrary to what you sort of heard in the politics of our country, the President is totally committed; there is a strategy that is clear, becoming more clear by the day,” Kerry said.
“And it really relies on a holistic approach to ISIL. That is to say that we need to do kinetic, we need to attack them in ways that prevent them from taking over territory, that bolster the Iraqi security forces, others in the region who are prepared to take them on, without committing troops of our own, obviously.
I'm surprised he didn't sprinkle the phrase "paradigm shift" in there. That way he would have had all the buzz words stupid people trying to sound smart use.
He could have advised the NATO allies that these Muslim terrorists are not acting in their own self-interest and we need to intervene to prevent them from doing any further harm to themselves and others.

It's freakin' pablum being served!

Sweet. And some of you people thought Obama had no strategy.
202 years ago this week, First Lady Dolly Madison saved the famous portrait of George Washington from the White House during the War of 1812. If it happened today, Obama would probably save his golf clubs!~~FB comment
