WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama on Saturday proposed a broader long-term strategy to confront Islamic militants in Iraq, who have surprised U.S. intelligence with the fast pace of their approach on the Kurdish capital of Irbil.
Obama warned Americans that the new campaign to bring security in Iraq requires military and political changes and "is going to be a long-term project." He wouldn't give a timetable for how long the U.S. military involvement would last, saying it depends on Iraq's political efforts.
"I don't think we are going to solve this problem in weeks," Obama said. "I think this is going to take some time."
The president said Iraqi security forces need to revamp to effectively mount an offensive, which requires a government in Baghdad that the Iraqi military and people have confidence in. Obama said Iraq needs a prime minister an indication that he believes he's written off the legitimacy of the incumbent, Nouri al-Maliki.

Statement: ah, well, as you know, I have authorized limited air strikes in Iraq as ah oh statement of our support against da ah oh you know genocide wherever it ah eh oh rears its ah oh ugly head. Let me say again, this is not a return of our military to the useless wasteful enterprise engaged in by my predecessor. I have ah always er said these uh oh eh sectarian spats should not eh ah become the reason we engage our precious military which I fully support. I will take one question from ah let me see, you there.
reporter: Have you been keeping tabs on the PGA and specifically the problems being incurred by Tiger Woods?
His excellency: Thank you for that pertainent question. Yes, I have gone out of my way to not hurt myself either playing golf or in defending our great nation, which ever that nation maybe. Bye for now, out of the way and who forgot to spread the rose petals today.
So.... who’s in charge at the WH when obie is on vacation ?
There are rumors that Jarrett is pushing Native American Princess Warren to run.
They — the Obama leftists/progressives — need someone to follow who will continue the fundamental changing. They apparently don’t trust Hillary to do that.
For us, however, the problem is that many of those across the aisle will also continue the fundamental changing — just at a slower pace.
Methinks Putin has plans to disturb Obola’s vacay.
I remember how the rats raised hell when Bush went on vacation, the Crawford Ranch, during some rat imagined crisis. Press was all over Bush 24/7 for days.
Obama knows how to read words off of teleprompters, swinging his head back and forth never looking at people, just the machines with scrolling words.
Who is putting the words on the teleprompters?
BVut given the democrips' use of abortion to keep the black population on the new fedzilla plantation, their twisted reasoning should not surprise US.
What other man do you know that goes on vacation every other month? And on the taxpayer dole at that. He makes me sick to my stomach. If Russia were to start launching missles at the United States he would still go on vacation and two weeks after later would “address the nation”, by reading off a prepared statement that no one attacks the United States and gets by with it. In the meantime half the country lay in ruin.
I am sure that several plane-loads of poor hispanic displaced children from Central America will be taken care of in Martha’s Vineyard.

Mr Ed wants some oats.
Just a little Bragging ,then Golf
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s Barry
Wow 2 minutes early.
oops millions of TVs just went MUTE
Maybe some contributed by not picking the lesser of two evils and just did not vote? I am not impressed by the current crop of so called conservatives, but; I will still vote against all Dems just to keep anymore progressives from winning. The only chance I can see to get rid of O’bozo is no Dem control of either House.
His ride is behind him ready to go
Patience is key, timing is everything.
Is he taking questions from White House staff now ?
MOTS - More of the Same
work with allies
provide humanitarian assistance
work along side our allies
Security Council is calling for other nations to help
Iraqis to come together and for an inclusive government
All Iraqi territories need to unite to fight ISI
One a conclusive government is in place, they can defeat ISI
Taking questions
Reporter: How long will airstrikes continue and will you destroy ISI?
Obama: Not going to give a timetable.
[What????????????? They demanded timetables from Bush for 7 years.]
The same reptile who is in charge when obie is there, Val Jarrett, the moose slime prime.
He’s only early because he wants to get out of Dodge and start partying.
Too bad the weather on The Vineyard is expected to be glorious for the next few days.
