WHAT OBAMA OFFERS AGAINST ISIS VS. WHAT CHURCHILL OFFERED AGAINST THE NAZIS By Aaron Goldstein on 9.3.14 During a joint press conference with Estonian President Ilves in Tallinn, President Obama vowed to "degrade and destroy ISIL."
But a few minutes later, Obama changed his tune following a question by Steve Holland of Reuters concerning his military strategy on ISIS/ISIL:
And to go back to what I said earlier....we know that if we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink ISILs sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem. And the question is going to be making sure weve got the right strategy, but also making sure that weve got the international will to do it.
Now compare the above with what Winston Churchill said about his policy and aims against the Nazis in the British House of Commons on May 13, 1940 during his first speech as Prime Minister:

I wish Obama would hold a bathhouse meeting with them, show them how inclusive and understanding he is.
Credit him also for taking less than one year to figure out he'd been rolled in Munich.
I can't see BO ever developing even the character of a Neville Chamberlain, much less a Churchill.
It’s better to talk, discuss, hold meetings, and build consensus...and vow to have another meeting next week. That’s how liberals run foreign policy. Nothing ever gets done....ever... because as soon as a decision gets made someone somewhere is upset....and that fact alone stops the liberals from doing anything of consequence in international affairs.
Absolutely pathetic.
In retrospect, I'm happy Obama sent that bust of Churchill back to England.
It would be an insult to that great man to have even a representation of his visage be forced to share living space with the vile, useless, piece of cowardly crap that currently infests our White House.
That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it?
Agreed.
This is how the Iranians got Congress, Kerry, the Generals, and the illegal alien terrorist in the oval office to show their true colors and back down on Syria.
As Congress debates whether to support President Obamas call for a limited strike against Syria for the alleged use of chemical weapons, Iran is vowing to back Bashar al-Assads regime to the hilt and threatening to unleash terrorism should the U.S. strike.
Qassem Soleimani, the head of Irans Quds Forces, Wednesday told the Assembly of Experts the body that chooses the supreme leader that [w]e will support Syria to the end.
And in an unprecedented statement, a former Iranian official has warned of mass abductions and brutal killings of American citizens around the world and the rape and killing of one of Obamas daughters should the United States attack Syria.
Alireza Forghani, the former governor of southern Irans Kish Province, threw down the gauntlet last week. Forghani is an analyst and strategy specialist in the supreme leaders camp and closely aligned with Mehdi Taeb, who heads the regimes Ammar Strategic Base, a radical think thank, and thus speaks with the blessing of the Islamic regime.
Hopefully Obama will be pigheaded enough to attack Syria, and then we will see the loss of U.S. interests [through terrorist attacks], he threatened. In just 21 hours [after the attack on Syria], a family member of every U.S. minister [department secretary], U.S. ambassadors, U.S. military commanders around the world will be abducted. And then 18 hours later, videos of their amputation will be spread [around the world].
A similar act was committed in a video of the torture of William Buckley, a CIA station chief who was abducted in Beirut in 1984 and later killed by Hezbollah on Irans order. That video was dropped off at the U.S. Embassy in Athens. Former CIA Director William Casey later described what he saw in the video: They had done more than ruin his body. His eyes made it clear his mind had been played with. It was horrific, medieval and barbarous.
In addition, Forghani warned, We should remind Obama that if you are a bastard, there are other bastards all around the world who can assault Sasha. The statement is written in both English and Farsi, but in the Farsi version, Forghani clearly stated that Sasha will be raped by someone who has been able to get close to the Obama family.
Obama will attack Syria and then youll go to hell, and the worlds public opinion will accept that you deserve to be attacked and assaulted, so please attack, Forghani concluded.
Forghanis threats last Wednesday were further emphasized by the chief commander of Irans Revolutionary Guards, Mohammad Ali Jafari, who on the same day told the regimes Fars News Agency that Americas vision in its ability for a limited strike in Syria is an illusion. The reactions will be beyond Syrias borders [and] those who participate with America in this matter will soon witness threats on their national security.
Taeb, the head of the Ammar Strategic Base, had previously stated that, Syria is the 35th province [of Iran] and a strategic province for us if we lose Syria, we wont be able to hold Tehran.
Regime officials, including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have made it clear on many occasions that Assads regime is their red line and that any attack on Syria will have grave consequences for Israel and America.
Obama has stated that he is determined to punish Assad for the alleged recent chemical attack on his own people that killed more than 1,400 civilians, hundreds of them children.
