Networks Heap Praise on Obama’s “Tough” Response to ISIL
free beacon ^ | 9/3/14 | Stephen Gutowski

President Obama has refused to commit American soldiers to the fight against the brutal Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS), saying “we don’t have a strategy” to defeat the terrorists.

Network newscasts have praised the president’s statements against ISIL, labeling them “tough.” They also praised the expediency of his “fighting words.” Newsbusters reports:

After President Obama admitted on Thursday that he had “no strategy” for dealing with the ISIS terrorist network, on Wednesday, the network morning shows rushed to portray the aimless commander-in-chief as a tough-talking leader ready to “destroy” the radical killers.

At the top of ABC’s Good Morning America, co-host George Stephanopoulos hyped: “President Obama’s tough words to the ISIS terrorists who executed American journalist Steven Sotloff.” In the report that followed, correspondent Brian Ross proclaimed: “President Obama vowed that ISIS will pay the price for the murder of a second American journalist. The president delivered fighting words this morning…”

Talking to White House correspondent Jonathan Karl moments later, Stephanopoulos declared: “In those remarks, the President laid also out a bold goal. He said the bottom line is the U.S. goal is to degrade and destroy ISIS as a threat.”

I think Rimshot Joe Plugs was a lot more macho than Barry! “We’re follow you gunkies to the gates of H..E..Double Hockey Sticks!” Somebody said that Rimshot had just watched “Tombstone” the previous evening. LOL! America is a clown show. There’s nothing sadder than watching an old, liberal girlyman trying to come across as being a bad ass.

Obama said he wants justice to be served?
In his worldview, I’m pretty sure that means he wants them to succeed at destroying the west.

“...Barack Obama will use the term ISIL instead of their former name ISIS or current name Islamic State. Have you ever wondered about that? We have.”

“When Barack Obama refers over and over to the Islamic State as ISIL, he is sending a message to Muslims all over the Middle East that he personally does not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as territory belonging to the Islamic State.”

“ISIL stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant.”

Neither biteme or owebama can hold a candle to Black Jack Pershing.

When we get 10 ISholes we shoot 9 of them, throw them in a pit, cover them with pig blood, and let the 10th one go back to his buds to tell them what awaits at the hands of the Americans.

Enough pussyfooting. These b@stards are savages and we must be more savage than they are in order to win. Too bad none of the metrosexuals in charge understand this or are capable of doing it.

My God, can you imagine how this would go over in New Yahrk and San Fransicko? They would really get their panties in a bunch.

I was impressed...by the Chechen leader’s response. “I emphasize that they finish their days under the hot sun in Syria and Iraq, and in the first instant of death meet their eternal flames of Hell. Allahu Akbar!”

Remember when Stephie asked Romney when he was going to start banning contraception?

It was a planted question by the Dems by their boy-whore in the totally objective and impartial ABC news department.

Seems to me the only actual strategy president Golf has regarding ISIS is to call it ISIL.

I suppose to show us all just how f***in’ high brow he is.

The Obama Media discovers words that were never spoken by Obama the way liberals discover "rights" in the US Constitution that aren't written there.
