America needs to increase foreign aid to Middle Eastern countries to help stem the growth of groups like the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), President Obama said during an interview with Vice News that aired Monday.
"I'm confident that will happen but what I’m worried about and what we’ll have to stay worried about is even if ISIL is defeated, the underlying problem of disaffected Sunnis around the world," Obama said.
Obama said that those investments could "ultimately save us from having to send our young men and women to fight or having folks come here and doing great harm.”
That language echoes the sentiment given by State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who said in an interview on MSNBC's "Hardball" in February "We cannot kill our way out of this war."
She received significant criticism from conservatives, but the administration stood by her call to address the root causes of extremism.
Obama also called ISIS an 'unintended consequence' of the "invasion" of Iraq in 2003. That, he said, is "why we should generally aim before we shoot."
Why don’t we use our technological advantage to bomb them off the planet?
His doctrine being: ‘If it harms America do it!’
Obola should just replace the entire
enabling, docile, EXEMPT 114th Congress
with Islamic terrorists.
Midnight basketball.
Yes, the petrodollars over there just aren’t enough. The US taxpayer has to be looted again.
This is our GOVERNMENTS way of thinking.
Take OUR money and give it to someone that wants to kill us.
Wonderful
Has flag goes here. Obama wants to ship evrn MORE of our tax $$$$$$ to our most vicious enemies on Rock3— his islamoNazi friends and comrades — so they can build or buy even more weapons to kill Christians and Jdws and everyone else with. Subverting America, destroying our military defenses, undermining our allies , destroying our economy and jobs. — he’s succeeding marvelously. I don’t want to hear any more of the “incompetent” complaints about him
Maybe build them a federal job training center.
if it is cheaper to drop fuel air bombs that is fine with me
Still blaming Bush. Pathetic.
If one man ( or woman) is not free, then all men are not free. That is the basis of projecting power internationally, and it informs the mission of American policy. We who are free have the responsibility to promote freedom for all mankind. It is also claimed that this is the perennial Christian mission. But it is impossible
without the Torah. The brother of the Nazarene, Jacob, in his letter called the Torah “The perfect Law of Liberty". This is because Torah observance lifts the nation to Righteousness and Prosperity. It produces the sweet fruit of Justice and domestic tranquility. This comes out in a stated foreign policy something like this: "Now hear this, every last one of you dirty rotten no good dictator sons of bitches: We're against you, see and we'll be dammed if we're going to just sit here and let you abuse and slaughter your fellow human beings. We're coming to get you, you miserable maggots, and we're going to put an end to you, slowly, just like you do it to the innocent. The only foreign aid you'll get from us is a grave, you worthless little bastards; and an “ honor guard”. We'll stand over your grave ‘till we're sure that you're dead. (apologies to Dylan).

Interesting ....since the Sunnis are the rich ones and the Shiite are the poor ones....odumbi is saying we need to listen to the RICH ARABS, hummm.
Well I believe the world is kind of tired of the rich arabs and islam as a whole....and their is going to be a allowed a little proliferation of nukes among the muslims...so they can kill off a 100 million or so of them. Its really the only way islam will be rid of its extreme violence. Once Iran nukes Saudi and Pakistan and Saudi nukes Iran.....they will see the light.
