On Monday, President Obama spoke about his new strategy to take on the terrorist entity Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. In doing so, he explained that the battle against that terrorist group — a group he had once termed "JV" — would amount to a "generational struggle." Why would defeating a ragtag army of primitives take generations? Because, Obama explained, "This is not simply a military effort. Ideologies are not defeated by guns. They're defeated with better ideas." To cap off this airsickness bag of gobbledygook, Obama then concluded, "We will never be at war with Islam."
So let's get this straight. A group Obama said he would degrade and destroy can only be degraded and destroyed with ideas. Its own ideologies — its animating force, according to Obama — have nothing to do with Islam. The cretinism here resembles a perfect Jenga tower of fatuity: Remove one phrase, and the whole structure tumbles.
Americans should gawk at the sheer wonder of Obama's applesauce here. Obama's bad acid trip bumper sticker foreign policy — "Better Ideas Beat Bad Ideologies" over a Grateful Dead peace symbol — reeks of third grade oral presentations. It takes more than great ideas to beat ideologies — it takes heavy weaponry. The victims of the Holocaust didn't sit around thinking to themselves, "Golly, if only we'd been able to come up with a better idea than Nazism, that Hitler sure would have stopped all this nonsense." America didn't end World War II by dropping informational leaflets. We dropped warning leaflets, then bombs. Large ones. Atomic ones. No armed ideologues in history have been defeated solely by better ideas — at least not before decades of murder, repression and evil.
So what did Obama actually mean?...
Same is true with all of our foreign threats. He takes a 2-steps-forward, 3-steps-back approach so most folks won't notice the harm he is inflicting.
BTTT.
Nothing to see here. Just simple "Obama logic." Now move along.
I think it's time for a new keyword to describe Obama's irrationality. I propose "Obama logic."
He knows. He's on their side.
You are beyond idiotic.
*shrug* He has you fooled...
Strange statement “We will never be at war with islam”. Oh really? Well I guess not until January 2016, but the day after this moron leaves office I hope we will be.
So is he admitting he’s gotten us stuck in a quagmire (to use the old Bush era buzzword.)?
Hmmmm. How do we come up with a better idea than rape, murder, torture, mayhem, random destruction, and a Dark-Ages mindset? Wow, that really IS a puzzler ...
Hey newbie, care to back up your It’s the Joos sh!t? Better slink back to the DU where you belong.
Yep, only a muslim sympathizer or actual muslim could come up with an idiotic statement like that, any civilized idea is better by far than islam doctrine.
“They’re defeated with better ideas.”
Even if they COULD be, how would you get those ideas out there. Sure as heck can’t make a youtube video or you’ll end up in jail. And they’ll attack an embassy because of it./s
yup
Shapiro pulled the Grateful Dead into it. He shouldn’t have done that. All the Dead did was make music. Never into politics.
Trump is right about ISIS too. Find a new Gen. Patton to utterly destroy them, starting with immediately bombing every oil field they hold to deprive them of their money. Also Iraq is no longer really a nation, the phony “government” are just proxies for Iran. Stop sending them aid that will end up in the hands of either ISIS or Iran.
Yeah. Right. That's how we won World War II - we debated the hell out of the Germans and Japanese.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622.
If we continue to deny the true nature of Islam, we will never defeat it.
I think it was a brilliant speech. It accomplished it’s objective: keeping America furthe bogged down in platitudes and inaction while our the foreign enemies of the US have a free hand to do as they see necessary.
That's not what I think at all. I think the intelligence agencies all work together, for the most part. There have been leaks that we are arming the syrian rebels which grew into isis. Sorry I wasn't clear. Not the 'joos' at all. Don't know what 'DU' is either.
Actually better ideas are good, especially when they’re delivered by A10’s, Barretts, B52’s, B1’s, cruise missiles, ......
