President Barack Obama said Friday he was confident he could gather a broad international coalition to defeat Islamic State extremists in Iraq and Syria, following two days of talks at the NATO summit.
“I leave here confident that NATO allies and partners are prepared to join in a broad, international coalition,” Obama said after a meeting of the Western military alliance in Wales. “We’re going to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL (IS’s previous name) the same way we’ve gone after al-Qaeda,” he said.
Following the beheading of two US journalists by the Islamic State, which has overrun swaths of northern Iraq and Syria, Obama said there was “unanimity” among NATO members that the group “poses a significant threat”.
Obama cautioned that “it’s not going to happen overnight”, but “we’re going to achieve our goal.

If this was not such a serious threat, Ø's cluelessness would be ROTF funny at times.
Is he stupid?
Or does he just think that everyone else is?
Obama is a national embarrassment.
I said will be super duper dead and GM will be extra extra invigorated...!
And you can keep your doctor TWICE..!
He has said so many times and he will work tirelessly.
We defeated who????????????
well, that means ISIS wins, because al quaida is still kicking
*facepalm*
ISIS, not I.
Seriously?
This has to be The Onion.
Too damned funny.
I glanced at a news clip on teevee....showed Hussein at some world leader meeting somewhere.
The moron was CHEWING GUM! WTF?
Niccorette.
The poor dear needs to calm his nerves.
Where’s Reggie?
Must watch tonight:
Benghazi:
Anyone know where Obama is scheduled to be hiding on 9/11?
Since we did not finish the job on Al Qaeda, which is entirely the fault of Obama, I take this as intentional double-speak that is really a message to ISIS that we are going to let you go, too. Obama has a nasty habit of speaking speaking with duplicity precisely at a time when clarity, leadership and resolve are most important. It is crystal clear to me whose side he is on . . . and it certainly not ours. When is somebody going to arrest this traitor???
Obama destroyed Al Qaeda by aiding a rival terrorist group to become richer, more geographically entrenched, larger, and twice as relevant.
So assumedly to defeat ISIS, he’s going to... fund some kind of MEGA-ISIS to steal their business.
Doesn’t Al Qaeda basically own Libya now? So this must mean 0bama will attack some country, reduce it to rubble and let ISIS have it.
Bronco ‘Bama Rides Again !
he is an international embarrassment. I know quite a few people in Germany and family in England and they all say he is a joke
Probably in Jerusalem getting ready to sit on what he thinks is his throne.
