I'm sure everyone already knows this and has the popcorn ready to go. But I have a serious question I have been contemplating.
If we attack ISIS/ISIL militarily will that be racist?
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
Geez. Too bad it is tonight or otherwise I would be glued to the speech. Unfortunately there is a rerun of Who's The Boss on from 1985 I really need to watch. It's the episode where Angela has a misunderstanding with Tony and hilarity ensues.

9:02 “America is safer”? Tell that to the Foley and Sotloff family.
9:03 “ISIL is NOT Islamic”. Are you kidding me? He refuses to even acknowledge they are Islamic. What the heck does he think he think the “Islamic” in “Islamic State” stands for?
“ISIL is not a state”. You allowed it to become such!
“U.S. is meeting threats with strength and resolve”. Hardly.
9:06 “America will lead broad coalition to roll back ISIL”. Airstrikes beyond protective of our own people. Go on offense. I will not hesitate to take action in Syria. Will send 475 additional forces to Iraq, but we will not get dragged into another war in Iraq.
We must strengthen the opposition in Syria. We will redouble efforts to cut off funding to ISIL and stem foreign fighters influx. We will continue to provide humanitarian aid. We cannot allow ancient communities to be driven out of their homeland [they already have been, Mr. President]…
I have the authority to do this without Congress, but I welcome consultation with Congress.
9:11 We have been successful in Yemen and Somalia with this strategy. [Oh really? Yemen and Somalia are rife with al Qaeda]…
9:12 Technology and economy is wonderful under me [hahahahaha]
[It's creepy when you try to sound like Reagan, Mr. Obama, stop it now. When you have no idea what you are talking about and don't believe what Reagan believed, you sound false and hollow. He even steals Reagan's "God Bless America" tag line at the end. When you give a speech, you have to be yourself, to put your soul into it. But if you have no soul...]
He specifically stole Reagan’s “no safe haven” for terrorists. But yet, he said nothing further in the “four part strategy” that would actually be successful in defeating ISIS, he basically just said that we’ll continue airstrikes, humanitarian aid, counter terrorism, and supporting partners (like moderate Syrians?).
The most significant part? He just gave himself the right to bomb Syria.
This idiot is so damaged an weak that just saying a bunch of stuff and heading out to a dinner party ain't going to play with voters. If the GOP had any balls left, they would tell this stooge to go to hell unless he presents a real plan. Unfortunately Boner is a faggot and him and McTurtle will give him whatever he wants so they "do no harm" in the upcoming election.

Actually he's just performing his duty under the UN's R2P (Responsibility to Protect) Was Putin right about Syria?
I wonder if our guys will be expected to wear Blue Helmets
Well he also gave himself the right to support the Syrian rebels that have helped ISIL get where it is today. Talk about one huge spaghetti bowl?
How can one man make these decisions? I fear he's gone loony!!!

After coming out with that gem how are we supposed to fall in line behind his strategy to defeat ISIL, an enemy whose motivations he does not want to understand? Curiously the effort to defeat ISIL is falling at the feet of those with Western values. This is a war of ideological conquest and the conquest being sought isn't for more territory.
America needs to WAKE UP!!!

Let's see OBOZO's compliance with a proven strategy of going to war.
You don't try to prune away an enemy like ISIL. There is no strategy for success if killing them all isn't the goal.
