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

Posted on 09/03/2014 7:10:07 AM PDT by COUNTrecount

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.”

Actually, not “communism” as much as “fascism”.

And the Muslims and Fascists had a LOT in common in WWII.

He doesn’t just support the goal of ISIS, as referred to be the headline, but much more than that. The actual quote from Ø regards ISIL (covering the Levant):

“Our objective is to make sure that ISIL is...”

In other words, the complete displacement of Jews in Israel to about 100 miles west of their current locations, and a few feet lower (ie, submerged into the Mediterranean Sea).

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

R.I.G.H.T......

"He walks like a woman and talks like a man..."

US adversaries are shaking....with laughter at this little boy and his pronouncements.

They are just hoping he will draw another line he will break.

So they can laugh some more.

Just remember! The “great grey blanket” we call the mainstream media is just as much at fault. They Scoffed and belittled Romney for every foreign policy remark he made. People like Wolf Blitzer and the guy on PMSNBC (you know the one who pees on his leg at the mention of Odumbo’s name) are all complicit in the reign of this incompetent or jihadist flunkie.

"I can’t decide whether he is a muslim or a communist. . .perhaps both?"

------------------------------>

I vote both...at the very least he is both. He's a lot of other things too but they are just as bad as muslim, communist.

CBS this morning Chalie Gibson and that lib woman proclaimed Obama “tough” on two fronts - that wasn’t a chuckle for me, it was a full belly laugh.

Translation: We’ll keep doing what we were always going to do - nothing. And ISIS can’t stop us.

Obama: (fighting Words)

“We will organize and form a coalition for an extended oversees contingency operation to prevent future instances of workplace violence and man caused disasters”

Now excuse me but I must get back to presidenting.

He might as well try to herd cats.
