'Destroy Or Debate?': CNN, Fox And MSNBC All Mystified By Obama’s ISIS Flip-Flop [VIDEO]
Daily Caller ^ | September 3, 2014 | Brendan Bordelon

Posted on 09/03/2014 4:36:46 PM PDT by maggief

The cable news universe converged into a single point at 4 p.m. EST on Wednesday, with hosts on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC all simultaneously expressing confusion over President Barack Obama’s most recent flip-flop on a strategy to defeat the brutal Islamic terror group ISIS.

On Wednesday morning Obama spoke in Estonia about the need to “degrade and destroy” ISIS — right before he went on to explain his goal of “shrinking” ISIS to a “manageable problem.” By Wednesday afternoon, that disconnect was noticed by all three of the major cable networks.

Like he Russians said, he’s like a monkey with a grenade and the pin is out. He’s likely to do anything to secure a win in a senate race in November so he can focus on his real enemies, the American people, mainly white people.
I don’t fear ISIS as much as I fear what he’s capable of doing with the power of the federal government at his disposal.

I do not think this is stupid dithering. I think 0bama and his like-minded friends like Bill Ayres, Rev. Wright and George Soros are invested in the idea of the destruction of the USA. Stirring up the jihadis and leaving the doors open at the border while fabricating delays to actually fighting them seems like what they are doing. The jihadis come in in enough numbers to shut down the free market, 0bama has plausible denyability and they get to put the pieces together as their marxist beliefs desire. The thing they may underestimate is that the jihadis may get them too.

The guy is a radical Muslim so he feels Allah is going to punish him if he destroys ISIS.


Exactly!

He’s between a Barack and a hard place.

The “degrade and destroy” quote came from a prepared speech.

The “manageable” description came directly from the President as he was answering questions.

Guess which remark represents his true feelings.

Being an Obama apologist is not an easy job.

In clarifying what Obama said Hagel stated,

““I know that you believe you understand what you think Obama said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you thought you heard is not what Obama actually meant.”

Couldn't be clearer!

The WH staff cringed as soon as the video showed up on the morning news programs, because THEY knew they were going to have to spend the day explaining what Obama really meant to say.

Every time he goes off-script, they cringe.

I would submit that ‘nothing but a greasy spot’ is a manageable problem.

Just more double talk like when he talked about Ferguson he said the federal government does not get involved in local matters then says that Doj will be going to Ferguson

Our local ABC news station showed Obama’s statement, however they cut it off before he said “shrinking” ISIS to a “manageable problem.” Nothing like the msm covering for Obama.

Obama’s strategy is on the green in two. Everything else is above his pay grade.
