Lights! Cameras! Action!
EEEEWWWW! Is this the best we can do!?! And what the heck is wrong with his eyes? It looks like somebody plugged some marbles into his eye sockets. And those horns! (h/t Abenaki) where the heck did they come from - and why didnt I see them from my vantage point!? Thats just creepy, and somewhat inscrutable; just like the speech itself.
Just as with our last great Democratic President, the import of this event depends on what the meaning of IS is; specifically, on what the meaning of the IS in ISIS is all we know for sure is that it doesnt mean Islamic State.
While youre still pondering that imponderable, allow me to summarize BHOs 4-part strategery, as developed and conveyed to him by his highly experienced staff of former chauffeurs:
1) air strikes, like in Somalia and Yemen because thats working out so well, 2) find some Arab allies (good luck with that), 3) try to get the Sunnis on message (good luck with that) and 4) rebuild the Iraq army (again).
Oh, and were going to mobilize the international community. Because community! And thats what community organizers do.
To quote a highly trained drunk-blogger: Poor Mesopotamia.
So, in closing, let me assure you that ISIS is just a bunch of thugs with no vision. No wait isnt that us? Its all a bit confusing. Butt I do know this much:
Our objective is clear: We will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy.
Just ram that objective of yours into a clear plastic binder and well have ourselves a real plan. Because unless youre a Republican, keeping stuff in binders is a perfectly good idea.
I wonder what the half life on ISIL is? Because that degrading destruction really cant come too soon.

Great post.
I suspect Hitler was very well received on his Reichstag Fire response.
Obama = Hitler = muslim brotherhood = satan.
People who cannot connect these are without hope I suppose.
We still have Israel to hope for.
