Excerpts of the President’s Address to the Nation
White House.gov ^ | September 10, 2014 | Barack Hussein Obama

Posted on 09/10/2014 4:11:06 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

As Prepared for Delivery

“So tonight, with a new Iraqi government in place, and following consultations with allies abroad and Congress at home, I can announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. Our objective is clear: we will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy.”

“But I want the American people to understand how this effort will be different from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It will not involve American combat troops fighting on foreign soil. This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out ISIL wherever they exist using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.”

IF true, then I approve.

No need for another Iraq or Afghanistan clusterbama.

Obama is “Wagging the Dog”

If it was not for the election he would be playing golf.

Yeh that’ll work. Plus I guess he wants to send more arms to the “moderate” (ROTFL) Syrian rebels. I guess the ones McStain got his pic snapped with.

Proof once more of Obama’s unfitness to lead a world’s Superpower.......

We need to use all methods available to rid the world of this extraordinary failure......consider his early retirement in the Mohave’s golf courses near Palm Springs....

Please, fellow Americans, believe me when I repeat what my predecessor so clearly exclaimed, that Islam is a religion of peace.

What you see today, happening in the Middle East, is an aberration and not what Islam is all about.

This was a pitiful speech.

He said nothing of consequence.

What’s worse is that it’s easier to be certain that he’ll keep his promise on what he won’t do, than what he said he would do.

“He said nothing of consequence.”

Nope!
Unless some die laughing.

He’s going to continue bombing field artillery and pretend its meaningful.

No U.S. boots on the ground except to look, listen, and hand out bandaids.

I have not listened to that man since early 2008, when my Bullshit* meter pegged.

events of the last six years have verified, big time, that my suspicions were right.

I think it's a waste of time even to discuss his latest lies. How many times can he recycle crap?

PUH-LEEEEEEZE! I beg of you. I would rather crawl through broken glass while getting a root canal while listening to Yoko Ono recordings at high volume than to watch or listen to one minute of 0’s speech. Any of his speeches. Ever.

Every word out of this man’s mouth is a lie - including the words “and” and “the”.

Flash!

Obama has destroyed another $500 ISIL Toyota carrying a captured American howitzer, with a $50k missile and $200k of additional infrastructure.

Has anyone else noticed that it's the same truck being blown up over and over on CNN?
