9:30 means whenever he determines we have waited long enough for his pretenses to be taken as the truth.

[NormsRevenge]

Qatar rhymes with putter, sort of, ;-)

[BenLurkin]

What is “targeted” military action?

[BenLurkin]

Do we ever make strikes which are not “targeted?”

[angry elephant]

Here in Washington state we are busy watching the Seahawks play. No time for His Nibs.

[BenLurkin]

Look at the ears on that guy!

[kristinn]

Mass beheadings and machine gun slaughter of other Iraqis didn’t bother Obama for months.

[Gene Eric]

Now he’s talking too much.

[NormsRevenge]

Instead of C130s doing air drops, we should have AC130 gunships on site

PUFF happens.. If not MOAB

[BenLurkin]

I wonder who wrote this speech for him.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Targeted strikes if necessary to protect American personnel at our consulate in Erbil and our embassy in Baghdad.

Humanitarian Air Drops of water and food on Mt. Sinjar.

Targeted air strikes to break the siege on Mt. Sinjar.

[kristinn]

Obama: No U.S. combat troops returning to Iraq. Lectures Iraq (yet again) on dysfunctional government.

[NormsRevenge]

He reminds me of the old animated Lincoln at Disneyland.

Everything moves but it still seems so stiff.

[4Liberty]

Turned radio off.

Til Mark Levin comes back.

[Gene Eric]

Way too much bubble wrap around his speech.

[sickoflibs]

Another Churchill!

[mojo114]

What the heck is this swivel head approach, he can’t look directly into the camera and talk to the American people:!

[BuckeyeTexan]

He claims we will do whatever is necessary to protect our personnel. Like in Benghazi?
