Obama: We're definitely not 'losing' in Iraq - ISIS storming into Ramadi was just a 'setback' and it would be a mistake to send in U.S. ground troops
President Barack Obama echoed the many claims of his administration officials in an interview released today and said that the fall of Ramadi is a mere 'setback.'
'No, I dont think were losing,' the president told The Atlantic in the Tuesday interview. 'Theres no doubt there was a tactical setback,' he said, but 'Ramadi had been vulnerable for a very long time.'
The president dug in his heels and said he would not send in U.S. ground troops to defend the war-torn country. Last time the U.S. came to the rescue, the Iraqi government 'squandered' the country's new found freedom, he said, by refusing to reach out to to different sects of the population.
'If the Iraqis themselves are not willing or capable to arrive at the political accommodations necessary to govern, if they are not willing to fight for the security of their country, we cannot do that for them,' Obama told The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg.

1000 Jihadis freed from prison in Palmyra, Syria.
yep,
Sounds like the quota boy is on drugs.
When Obama says “We are not losing”, he’s referring to his side, not the American side. Iraq was already won until he intervened and turned it into a win for his terrorist buddies.
The Brown Clown is DELUSIONAL
100% spot on.
Just heard ISIS has taken control of most of the Syrian border. The locals fled because they ran out of ammo.
This is exactly what Obama wants. Damn to the killing of civilians, the bloody be headings, the raping of women and children, the forced slavery, stabbings, shooting of fellow Muslims and Christians.
Hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed. But to Obama, out of sight, out of mind.
Right. And Bengazi was caused by a YouTube video.
Why haven’t they moved into Mosul yet? Its been months
Anyone with half a brain knows Zero is actively covering and making excuses to advance the Islamic caliphate.
So this is what he says to all the families of fallen heros and wounded disabled vets. He is truly despicable
“........Zero is actively covering and making excuses to advance the Islamic caliphate”...........
Yepper! Nothing new to see here, move along.
If ANYONE believes odumbo is not a Muslim, they too are lost. He made it very clear who he would support when he first came into power and has kept that promise since the day he made that statement.

And this is why the U.S. Is a laughing stock around the world.
Not losing - depending on which side you’re on
By “we” he means he and ISIS.
JV squad again?
The only thing Obama's drawing is attention to his yellow streak.
When ISIS takes Baghdad, will Obama say we are not losing? Probably not since he is on the side of ISIS.
No, we havent lost France. And no, we wont be sending in the troops to save it. The french will have to do that themselves.
