Obama's Grand Plan For Crushing ISIS: "We Don't Have A Strategy Yet"
Zerohedge ^ | 8/28/2014 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 08/28/2014 2:11:37 PM PDT by Former Proud Canadian

President Obama 'knows' how to handle Putin's 'continuation' - more sanctions (and costs for Europe) - but when it comes to beating the most "barbaric" terrorists known as ISIS, ISIL, or The Islamic State; he had this to offer... "I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet." Rest assured Americans - who have been told that ISIS could be crossing the borders every day and a constant threat, President Obama is 'working on it'. Perhaps most crucially, while we 'joke' that the administration has no strategy, it is noteworthy that Obama stated it was "not US policy to defeat ISIS, only reverse gains."

QUESTION: Do you need Congress's approval to go into Syria?

OBAMA: You know, I have consulted with Congress throughout this process. I am confident that as commander in chief I have the authorities to engage in the acts that we are conducting currently. As our strategy develops, we will continue to consult with Congress, and I do think that it'll be important for Congress to weigh in and we're -- that our consultations with Congress continue to develop so that the American people are part of the debate.

I think Rush has mentioned it.

As for the rest. BOR is a blowhard in love with the sound of his own voice. Megyn Kelly is...gorgeous and bright but suffers from normalcy bias. Dr. K badly suffers from normalcy bias.

Obama: "I don't want to put the cart before the horse. We don't have a strategy yet."

Hittlery: What difference, at this late date, does it make?

Hope > change!

Why should Obama have a strategy when, in his heart, he sympathizes with Islam and ISIS is Islam?

Sheesh folks, don’t ask silly questions.

I only ask for accountability, something business affords for, albeit grudgingly, something sadly, politics no longer does.

No Fault Gubamint is upon us.

If Obama wasn’t providing “aid and comfort” to the enemy with his comment, what other purpose would there be to say what he said?
