President Obama said Thursday that the U.S.-led fight against the Islamic State is making progress in spite of high-profile terrorist attacks around the world, while Republican nominee Donald Trump charged that Mr. Obama has allowed the Islamist extremist group to rampage “out of control.”
“We’re going to keep going after ISIL aggressively,” Mr. Obama said at the Pentagon, using an acronym for the group. “We continue to take out senior ISIL leaders and commanders.”
The president said the Islamic State hasn’t had a major success in Iraq and Syria in a year. But Mr. Obama acknowledged that “lone wolf” attacks are on the rise, saying “the decline of ISIL in Syria and Iraq appears to be causing it to shift to tactics” to other countries.
“It is still very difficult to detect and prevent” such attacks, he said.
Mr. Trump, speaking at a campaign rally in Portland, Maine, blasted Mr. Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for allowing the Islamic State to gain strength, committing beheadings and other horrific attacks around the globe.

Go Trump GO!
Easy to prevent. No more Muslim immigrants, and deport the ones already here.
ISIS is Obama’s CHILD, and he is sooooooo
protective of the rapists and murderers.
Protective to the point of arming them to murder
and rape and enslave more.
And who paid for it?
The GOP led by Ryan-the-complicit-whore.
Bammy’s lips are moving again.
They are on the run. They’re running to kills Christians with the guns Hillary gave them.
On the run alright. Running to their next targets to slaughter us. Sharia...his bff’s.
Yeah, see how they run, maybe right over the White House fence which gets hopped over at least two times a month.
Oh, yeah, they’re “on the run”.
They’re running wherever they want to so that they can carry out their next terror attack.
Where/when did we hear that ISIS is on the run before?
Didn’t Obozo last year say Isis was on the run and contained?

The damned idiot.
Oh, that that flat-footed ninny would just run away. RUN Bammy RUN !
Yep, Bammie also tagged ISIS as the JV...He’s a total idiot.
Pure Taqqiyeh-haw.
Again?! Yeah ... we saw what happened last time they were “on the run”.
Did he say ‘I will not rest until....’, this time? After all his ‘I will not rests’, I’m amazed he’s still standing........must’ve had no sleep for years! /s
The jerk in chief said with a qualifier, ‘NO MAJOR’ attacks.
Who’s going to parse words with the fake Constitutional Law ‘professor’?
Some JV team.
Now that they have managed to repeatedly come back to bite the Current Occupant in the gluteus maximus, not once but over and over each time, it is a wonder that the Current Occupant can even defecate without medical assistance, let alone sit down or even walk about.
He also said Russia needs to step up and do their part.
I expect a major strike, somewhere in the world, by the end of the weekend.
