President Barack Obama at a news conference at the conclusion of the NATO Summit in Wales on Friday.
President Barack Obama on Friday said unequivocally that the extremist group calling itself the Islamic State must be dismantled, degraded, and "ultimately defeated," days after he earned criticism for saying the goal was to roll back the organization to a point it was "manageable."
"We are going to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL, in the same way we went after Al Qaeda," Obama said Friday, later adding that "y ou can’t contain an organization [like ISIS]. The goal has to be to dismantle them."
Obama held a news conference Friday at the conclusion of the NATO Summit in Wales, touching on the crises in both Ukraine and Iraq. Obama echoed the words of Secretary of State John Kerry, who said Friday that the U.S. was committed to "destroying" the extremist group within three years as he announced a plan for an international coalition to confront the group in the Middle East.

DOUCHE!
Don’t worry, he’ll change his tune back shortly.
Well that’s all great. But does he have a STRATEGY yet?
Besides Sloe Joe’s idea of following them to the Gates of Hell?
The humanity . . .
So he was for them before he was against them......or something like that......
This man has not stopped voting “Present” since he was elected Senator.
Isn't that "publicly pretending they no longer exist while you provide active support to their front organizations"?
Clown Prince nobama’s strategy remains the same: infiltrate and degrade Free America. Nothing has changed. Everything is intentional.
I think the guy is bi-polar on top of being a pathological liar.
obama told the lame-stream media to have a nice day as he walked away. Okay, lame-stream, another signal, obama threatened you.
What Obama is actually saying is he won't be stopping ISIS during his administration.
Despite everything said...ISIS is alqueda and every other damn muslim cult.
Joey’s idea is to bring a door, a shotgun, fire through the door, then piss yourself.
Well, I certainly think he's bi-something.
I was disappointed Joe did not also mention that ISIS should gird their loins as we follow them to to aforesaid Gates.
Didn’t he mean ISIL?
He is such a moron. He has already given up the threats Bush diminished and is now working on all the progress made during the Reagan administration.
I guess next stop is Nixon and Eisenhower.
Get bent Obama. Your community organizing skills suck balls.
He looks and sounds like he is under duress when he speaks of defeating ISIS. When will people wake up and figure out that he supports the Caliphate because of his upbringing. It’s as plain as the nose on one’s face.
I’m confused. Is ISIS on or off double secret probation at this time?
He didn’t change his tune. He lied.
