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
ISIL is the Levant and includes Israel, which 0bama hates
The president wants to manage the problem, while the VP wants to send ISIS straight to hell.
I’ll go with Biden on this one.
He can’t admit he was wrong about doing away with the War on Terror, even though the Islamic cockroaches have multiplied geometrically.
Old lobotomy for drug-induced psychosis.

I would agree with your assessment:
European policy Main article: Neville Chamberlain's European Policy Early days (May 1937 March 1938)
Chamberlain sought to conciliate Germany and make the Nazi state a partner in a stable Europe. He believed Germany could be satisfied by the restoration of some of her colonies, and during the Rhineland crisis of March 1936 he had stated that "if we were in sight of an all-round settlement the British government ought to consider the question [of restoration of colonies]".

Thanks those are good maps
Now there’s a winning Republican slogan if there ever was one.....
“You, too, can make ISIS a ‘manageable problem.’
Vote for the Democrat on your ballot.”
Actually, there are two skull scars.
This one is on the right side of the back of his head:
And this one is on the right side of his head:
To my knowledge, he has never offered any explanation about the scars.
Levant is an area of the Middle East that explicitly includes Israel!
Good catch!
Jesus Christ: You cant impeach Him and He aint going to resign.
Grab some Preparation ‘H’?
what is the definition of manageable? Like Ben Gazi backlash IRS Lerner manageable?
So ISIS is unmanageable now? Or is he mismanaging them?
