And Russian planes didn’t really bomb ISIS. They didn’t fly anywhere near ISIS territory. They bombed areas controlled by free Syrian rebels, the forces Obama is claiming he’s helping.
In other words, under the guise of anti-terrorism, Putin’s moving to bolster Syrian President Bashar Assad, the man Obama has been saying must go for the past three years.
Add this to other Obama diplomatic disasters: The unnecessarily abrupt troop pullout from Iraq that created another vacuum. The rise of ISIS, which never was a JV squad, spreading its terror tentacles to North Africa and beyond.
The failed training program for Syrian rebels.
The frayed relations with Egypt. The needless tensions with Israel. The disturbing diminution of the U.S. military.
The collapse of Yemen’s government to Iran-backed rebels, a struggle Obama touted as an anti-terrorism success story just months before. A half-billion dollars in U.S. military gear went missing in that collapse.
The emerging weaknesses of Afghan security forces that just lost the country’s sixth-largest city to several hundred Taliban fighters.
Oh, and the complex set of cave-ins to the mullahs in a deal that Obama still claims will prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons.
Obama has 476 days left until his White House lease expires. Clearly, it will take many times that long to repair and restore American power, prestige, standing and confidence.
Putin has used Obama’s butt as his “reset” button.
We should point out to Putin that he’s being racist by disagreeing with Obama. That ought to bring him around! /sarc
I listened to part of O’s presser at 4 pm. The man is a fool.
The more Obama speaks the easier it is to realize that he is a political moron. The problem is that most of his supporters are political morons too. The rest are just outright Marxists doing whatever is necessary to destroy this nation for their own benefit.
Reset THIS, President Numbskull!
And Yes, you may have another.
Obama said “I hope Russia is successful” and “this is not a contest between the United States and Russia”.. WTF? This guy is the KING OF MIXED MESSAGES and has NO foreign policy position.
Obama sounding hapless in his presser today.
Fools.
It is his INTENT.
Tell Vladimir .... " I'll have more flexibility after the election"
Putin told Obama to bend over and all Obama did was to ask him “how far?”.
Russians know a pussy when they see one.
Oh gawd. We are SOOOOOOOOOOO screwed!
Obama is mentally ill. He thinks bombing and killing people strengthens them. See recent comments concerning ISIS. He refuses to negotiate over raising US debt ceiling. He ignores the constitution. He thinks Global Warming is our greatest threat. Etc. Etc. He is mentally ill.
