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.

.... His approval numbers are down and started to affect the Narcissist-in-Chief's ego so he probably ordered the Dems to draft a winning script of talking points for him and his administration to vomit out to help bolster his approval levels.

....They probably noted that Bush's approval went up when he talked tough so are attempting to do the same. Unfortunately they don't realize that they sound like Barney Fife when they try to do so.

" So Obama did not destroy Al Qaeda."

Destroy?
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF does NOT want to destroy Al Qaeda .
What do you think Obama was doing IN Benghazi ?
Obama was ARMING Al Qaeda.

Obama IS Al Qaeda !

-- Despite everything said...ISIS is alqueda and every other damn muslim cult. --

Al Qeada was able to be defeated by changing its name. ISIS can do the same thing. Obama-logic.

Has any MSM “journalist” or congress critter dared to ask the question: “Mr. President, whose side are you on?”

[A CA Guy]

Obama has shown he is unfit to be President IMO and would be barely capable of being the President of a grade school class.
No leadership, no soul, misguided and wrongly directed on the best of days.

"We are going to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL, in the same way we went after Al Qaeda," Obama said Friday...

This incorrect transcript was later updated:

"We are going to degrade and ultimately defeat Israel, in the same way we went after America's white middle class," Obama said Friday...

I don’t pay any attention to what Obama says, only what he does, which is a bunch of nothing. Mark my words, the only reason Obama is talking about other countries “joining us” in defeating ISIS, is that Obama wants someone else to blame if it goes south and with Obama anywhere around it will go south. Then Obama can say, “I tried, it was so and so’s fault”. Any takers????

Yep. obama will just call it ISIL and do nothing.

Face it, Obama isn’t near as bad as the people who believe him or those that give him a pass by thinking he has seen the light.

Gawd, they embarrass me, that means the whole media embarrass me.

[combat_boots]

Must have seen the poll results.

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.

It's as plain as the fly on his face.
