Obama Meeting with Chuck Hagel on Strategy against Islamic State
breitbart ^ | 8/25/14 | Charlie Spiering

Back from his vacation, President Obama is scheduled to meet with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel Monday for an update on the series of air strikes launched against the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq.

Obama may increase military action against the terrorist group after the beheading of American journalist James Foley, as members of his administration continue to escalate warlike rhetoric.

“When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done,” Obama said in a statement during his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard last week.

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes signaled Friday that the United States viewed Foley’s death as an attack on America.

“Clearly, the brutal execution of Jim Foley represented an affront, an attack, not just on him, but he’s an American. And we see that as an attack on our country when one of our own is killed like that,” he said.

Last week, Hagel explained that IS had grown “beyond anything that we've seen," posing “a new paradigm of threats to this country."

With those two clowns, the only topics of discussion will be 1) when do we surrender to them, and 2) how much of our military capabilities can we give them before our surrender.

I consider both to be traitors and slime.

My thoughts of what should be done with them will remain personal.

I guess it's news when Obama meets with his Sec of Def.

My guess is that Bush visited with Rumsfeld constantly.

::::::::::::

IMHO, it is as much pandering, as it is POLITICAL cowardice.

Why doesnt Kerry just *talk* to them?

To show good faith Kerry should go unarmed with no body guards.

Just a cotton picken’ minute ...
Yesterday Obama spokesblonde Harf said the Islamic savages were not targeting the US in beheading an American journalist; at the same time, the “most pro-Israel administration ever” accused Israel of targeting the US.
Maybe Barry needs another vacay?

Obama and Hagel meet to develop strategy. Either important brain cells and or your arm are already dead.

Name the fist thing that come to your mind when I say these words.

Obama/Hagel

Vomit!
Extreme Danger!
It certainly isn’t sound strategy.

Okay, now Chuck, the United States must appear that we are doing something, but without actually doing anything, because we don’t want to upset the mooselims and lefties and the hippies and the rest of the San Francisco elites that believe that victory can be achieved through being passive and lazy.

Sssoooo Chuck, whatcha got...Chuck...Chuck

This must be very gut wrenching for Obama to have to act against his buddies the Muslims. It will takes months for him to make a decision.

Obama and Hagel. There’s a meeting that, if Joe Biden joined in, the collective IQ would go up.
