Obama: ISIS threat against U.S., allies 'doesn't frighten us'
CNN ^ | 9/19/14 | Chelsea J. Carter and Barbara Starr

Posted on 09/19/2014 8:08:41 AM PDT by TangledUpInBlue

"With their barbaric murder of two Americans, these terrorists thought they could frighten us or intimidate us or cause us to shrink from the world," Obama said.

"But today, they are learning the same hard lesson of petty tyrants and terrorists who have gone before: As Americans, we do not give in to fear. When you harm our citizens, when you threaten the United States, when you threaten our allies, it doesn't frighten us. It unites us."

The question now appears to be not if, but when, the United States will strike ISIS in its stronghold in northern Syria.

The U.S. military has everything it needs to strike ISIS targets in Syria, a plan that officials told CNN is still waiting on Obama's signoff.

I remember when the media killed Bush for his "bring it on" statement. This isn't much different.

We better hit them, and hit them hard. If all these nations are on board, I saw France conducting airstrikes today - the air campaign should be RELENTLESS.

They pop a head out of a hole - BAM...like Wack a Mole.

Obama to Bob Woodward: "We can absorb a terrorist attack... even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . ."

Americans are already beheaded in the Homeland.
The Boston Atrocity bomber beheaded three before that
attack, and yet nothing was done.
NOTHING. Two more warnings came in,
and THEN he was allowed in without a Passport.
Then came the Boston Atrocity.

Will any of this EVER be recognized?

Nope. Just like Benghazi, the EXEMPT Congress
is treasonous or braindead, and
LEO is busy moving infected
criminals to all 57 States
for the undocumented pRes_ _ent.

Well I, for one, am greatly comforted knowing that Obama is paying so much attention that he is actually going to make the command decisions regarding each bombing strike.

Said while nearly constantly surrounded by ARMED Secret Service. Said while living in the White House which has massive security and a fence while the southern border is wide open. Said as he gets to travel in vehicles that are heavily armed and armored.



Sort of like the little school yard bully who threatens, draws lines in the sand, and then runs off when actually confronted.

Yell....he's a warfare expert.

IIRC, our old warriors like Eisenhower and Patton read about the art of war. They also prayed a lot.

The “threat” as perceived by the Current Occupant may not frighten him, but his almost total degree of detachment and his history of inaction in the face of real crisis pretty much has most of the rest of us cringing. Whatever the Current Regime offers up, to “contain” ISIS, will do little to be recognized as real “pushback”. The forces arrayed in opposition to the US have seen how previous confrontations had been handled, and are scaling their attacks accordingly.

Just another phony “red line” that was drawn in disappearing ink on the sand.

What does it take to shake this inaction and ineptitude off?

Exactly!

Obama is a typical Tyrant/Thug.

All Tyrants have bad endings. All of them.

“Those who maintain that understanding jihad as a holy war constitutes a sort of deviation from the true Islamic tradition are therefore not telling the truth, and history sadly demonstrates that violence has characterized Islam since its origin, and that Mohammed himself systematically. We must also recognize the natural right of every society to defend its own cultural, religious, and political identity. It seems to me that this is precisely what Pius V did.”(Christianity and Islam in History by Monsignor Walter Brandmüller, president of the Vatican Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences)

Great summary of our current state of affairs. It may not be as planned as all that but it is part of the Alinsky strategy, “agitate to the point of conflict.” I feel like to stand by we’re screwed, to rise up like patriots, we’re screwed.

He doesn’t understand terrorism, the point of terrorism is to get you scared enough to either turn on the government or not bother asking your government for help, because, given the terrorists’ actions, they either can’t help you or don’t care jack #$%^ about you.

Don’t forget the fact that he parties it up at Martha’s Vineyard while the rest of the U.S. generally gets poorer...
