Obama: We won’t be intimidated by ISIS
NY Post ^ | September 2, 2014

TALLINN, Estonia — President Barack Obama said Wednesday that the United States will not be intimidated by Islamic State militants after the beheading of a second American journalist and will build a coalition to “degrade and destroy” the group.

Obama still did not give a timeline for deciding on a strategy to go after the extremist group’s operations in Syria. “It’ll take time to roll them back,” the president said at a news conference during a visit to Europe.

Obama’s comments came after he said the United States had verified the authenticity of a video released Tuesday showing the beheading of freelance reporter Steven Sotloff, two weeks after journalist James Foley was similarly killed.

Obama vowed the U.S. would not forget the “terrible crime against these two fine young men.”

“Our reach is long and justice will be served,” Obama said.

In the Sotloff video, a masked militant warns Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, “our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people.”

Obama responded that he will continue to fight the militant threat and the “barbaric and ultimately empty vision” it represents.

“Our objective is to make sure that ISIL is not an ongoing threat to the region,” he said, using an acronym for the militant group. “And we can accomplish that. It’s going to take some time and it’s going to take some effort.”

ABC called these 'fightin' words' this morning.

That was good for a chuckle.

Yeah dude, whatever.
That’s why you went golfing instead, dithered for weeks on end, and admitted you have no strategy.
Real brilliant!

Breitbart is reporting that he plans to “organize the Arab world”.

Reverting to typical form. A Community Organizer to the end. He knows nothing else.

Perhaps he thinks ACORN can defeat ISIS.

Nothing to worry about here. Beheading is just another incident involving workplace violence.

The moslem brotherhood is in the whitehouse and has crafted the strategy of shuck and jive for Obama. Just enough tap and shuffle to make the suckers think he cares while the world is on fire with moslems.

The OHRM paperwork alone will cause terrorism to grind to a halt.

Hell, he still does. Obama and the usual crowd of morons are now blaming Assad for ISIS.

I now use the terms Obamunism and Obamunists extensively. I believe it truly captures his muslim/anti-American beliefs.
