Exclusive: Obama to Deliver Major Address on ISIS, Vows to 'Hunt Down' Extremists
NBC News ^ | 9/7/2014 | Chuck Todd

Posted on 09/08/2014 10:58:53 AM PDT by mojito

One day before the thirteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks, President Barack Obama plans to address the nation on the threat posed by ISIS extremists -- telling NBC News the U.S. will “hunt down" the terrorists "wherever they are.”

The president revealed his plans for the upcoming address during a wide-ranging, exclusive interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.

“What I'm going to be asking the American people to understand is, number one, this is a serious threat,” Obama said about the speech, which is not expected to be a prime time address. “Number two, we have the capacity to deal with it.”

Obama emphasized he will not advocate for the deployment of U.S. ground troops in the region, saying it would be “a profound mistake” to put American boots on the ground in Syria as some critics have suggested.

“This is not the equivalent of the Iraq war,” he said, stressing that the United States will work with “regional partners” like Iraqi and Kurdish forces and Syrian rebel troops to degrade the terror group’s capacities.

Darn I can’t watch it. I always watch “major announcements”. Is he switching to Titleist?

One day before the thirteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks...

September 7th is one day before September 11th?

Hunt them? Where could they be? I don’t know. They are so hard to find.

I expect him to enact regulations which will make it easier to marginalize and harrass Christians as part of his “anti-ISIS strategy”.

Because Bush, after all, only had something like 30 countries helping us including Iraqi and Kurdish forces.

Obama isn’t qualified to lead a local grade school as President much less the whole United States.

So he'll put US boots on the ground and simply deny they are there. Like he did in Libya, and like he is doing in Iraq already.

By the way, since he is the anti-Bush, I expect he won't go after 17 or 18 UN resolutions before going in. He doesn't need any stinking UN resolutions. He's Obama.

Yet he refused to investigate or deny re-entry to the US citizens who’ve joined up with Islamic State to wage jihad and train abroad.

Obama lies while people die.

I’d wager that Zero will not utter the term “ISIS.” He will only use “ISIL” that is a whole other animal used to define Israel out of existence.

“President Barack Obama plans to address the nation on the threat posed by ISIS extremists — telling NBC News the U.S. will “hunt down” the terrorists “wherever they are.”

Rather than waste all this TIME “addressing” those who want to know WHY you have not done something ALREADY, about so many things...how about DOING something for a change? While this ‘threat’ is in it’s infancy, you have the opportunity of a lifetime to be the “bringer of change” that voters were led to believe you were, by ridding the WORLD of these spiritual henchmen. Just DO IT.
