Obama: ISIS Is Not Getting ‘Stronger,’ We Have ‘Contained’ Them
Breitbart ^ | 11/13/2015 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 11/13/2015 4:57:14 PM PST by GilGil

Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” President Barack Obama seemingly downplayed the threat of ISIS in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Good Morning America.”

Stephanopoulos asked Obama if ISIS was gaining in strength, to which Obama denied they were.

“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”

I’m surprised that he didn’t blame it on Global Warming.

The French are also not an advanced country by the O’s standards.

Meanwhile JV Obama and his Liberal cohorts in Congress are gutting our military.

Trump’s stance on immigration sure sounds loud and clear tonight!

Commenting without profanity is not possible.

You're right, you're absolutely right.

No, that’s Al’s job, and, coincidentally, he is in Paris now. Never let a crisis go to waste!

Timing is everything. Of course, the media will flush this down the memory hole.

Hell no they aren't in Syria or Iraq anymore, you idiots have allowed them to get into all the other countries.

My God, have mercy on all those hostages in Paris, I can't begin to imagine their terror at this point. Pray.

I wonder if he’ll send John Kerry and James Taylor back to Paris to sing “You’ve Got a Friend.”
