Obama’s Strategy on ISIS and Ukraine: Voting Present
Coach is Right ^ | 9/6/14 | Jim Emerson

Posted on 09/06/2014 8:53:08 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

The Obama administration has a serious problem dealing with major crises that effect America or its allies. In non-threating situations this White House always manages to back the terrorist elements, as in Libya, Egypt and Syria. Even though the liberal media doesn’t dare admit it, the Islamic State is a result of Obama’s foreign policy of siding with America-hating terrorists.

During the past week the Administration has been floating trial balloons, hoping to find talking points that will register with the American people before the midterm elections. At a news conference in Estonia, Obama was unclear about what his strategy might be. He claimed to seek the destruction of ISIL, yet later mentioned that he wanted to transform these terrorist thugs into a “manageable problem.” Given the history of this White House’s support for terrorists he would clearly prefer the later. In the future he can wiggle out of tough questioning by claiming to have said one thing or another.

Pentagon talking heads maintain the U.S. military can degrade, disrupt, and destroy ISIS “targets” in Iraq but cannot destroy ISIS as an organization. In other words a “Police Action” ala Vietnam. Obama’s Ukrainian strategy is just talk and sanctions as part of a smart power policy. Unfortunately, Smart Power is...

Why doesn't he try this talking point?

On page 261 of the paperback edition of “Audacity of Hope” Obama wrote: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Obama has no problem with ISIS as long as they only kill Americans.

When has obama ever called it ISIS?

He favors the term ISIL, and the L (Levant) providing explicit diplomatic recognition that the borders of the IS (Islamic State) include what is now Israel, with all the slaughter and bondage that implies.

The L in ISIL, stands for Levant which stands for the area of the Middle East which includes Israel.

Obama using "ISIL" means he is alluding to the eventual takeover of Israel.

he wanted to transform these terrorist thugs into a “manageable problem.”

Ha......this is what "community organizers" do when a problem becomes intractable....

Maybe he could send his Czar of Nudge down there....

Maya Shankar, a White House adviser cultivating a team tasked with subtly influencing Americans’ behavior, previously worked closely with the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, WND has learned.

Shankar has discussed utilizing cognitive science for social activism and is a champion of so-called social justice.

As FoxNews.com pointed out, policies aimed at altering a population’s attitude became known as “nudges” after the term was popularized by Obama’s controversial former regulatory czar, Cass Sunstein, who penned a 2008 book called “Nudge.”

Shankar, a late-20s Yale graduate, has been described as a wunderkind. She joined the Obama administration in April as a senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science & Technology Policy.
