Speaking during a press conference from Eastern Europe early Wednesday morning, President Obama said justice will be served for the beheading of American journalist Steven Sotloff yesterday and that ISIS must be "destroyed." However, shortly after those remarks, Obama said he is working with coalition forces to turn ISIS into a "manageable problem."
"We know that if we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink ISIL's sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem," Obama said. "Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so it is no longer a threat not just to Iraq but also the region and to the United States."
Obama: ISIS a 'Manageable Problem,' If 'International Community' Comes Together
Obama's objective or strategy couldn't be more opaque (or non-existent as the White House admitted last week). Is the goal to "destroy" ISIS? Or to "manage" the terror army? If only the international community approves of course. One thing is clear, President Obama has no interest in the United States taking the lead on ISIS or destroying them on our own.
H/T Weekly Standard
Yes, and that's all he means.
I said it on another thread - ISIS has been running rampant for six months and we are just now hearing from our Secretary of State that we "need" an international coalition, confirmed by 0bama's speech above? That's a little like Winston Churchill suddenly deciding we needed to get a diplomatic effort together to deal with the Nazis right around 1944.
The Community Organizer Approach...make beheading manageable for the sake of Peace.
“We are going to win by community organizing.”
Yes. At least Chamberlain admitted he was unable to do that, 75 Years Ago Today.
"One day you'll all look at the world us actors created and say, "wow, good going, F.A.G.. You really made the world a better place, didntcha, F.A.G.?"
As long as the beheadings are kept under 250/year and the mass executions under 5000/year it will be very manageable. To Obama people being killed by the tens of thousands is irrelevant. I estimate at least 250,000 people have been slaughtered as a result of his policies. No big deal. Wonder why he made such a stink about Michael Brown? What is one more dead guy?
“Managing” the problem translates to getting the media to ignore the problem at least until after November.
I hope he can manage blood-crazed terrorists better than he managed the construction of a transactional website.
I say at least make sure that your tools are cleaned, oiled, and sharp and ready to go.
The only problem that a sane world would have with these savages - and a manageable one at that - is how and where do we bury them all? A related problem, also manageable, is trying to decide whether we bury them with pigs, or do we instead let the pigs eat them first and then bury the shiite with the dead pigs?
What an A$$HOLE! He couldn’t LEAD three small children out of a McDonald’s
Looked up ISIL on wikipedia interesting the difference in ISIS and ISIL. Know now why obama stated calling them by that name.
The only acceptable “Manageable Problem” as regards isis, is the digging of a large mass grave for all of them.
What is the skull scar?
TIA!
Seems to fit with Hussein and his minions.
That arrogant pos has nothing but a big mouth. He likes to talk a lot, without saying anything
Uh huh
