On Thursday, President Barack Obama declared in an interview that ISIS had been "contained," asserting that the terror cell had been stalled in Iraq and Syria.
The next day, ISIS claimed responsibility for one of the worst terror attacks in European history, shattering what had been a growing sense of momentum in the global fight against extremists and driving home the frightening ability of ISIS to inspire and possibly coordinate attacks outside their power base in Iraq and in Syria.
"We, including the President, have said from beginning the fight against ISIL would be long and have both good and bad days," according to a senior administration official pressed to explain the disconnect between Obama's comments and the spectacular set of coordinated attacks that stunned Europe and killed more than 120 people out on a Paris Friday night.

It’s uncanny - kind of like whenever Al Gore shows up for a globull warming confab, there is record breaking cold, ice and snow in the confab location.

Wouldn't be surprised if ‘Contained’ was a go-code to the operatives in France.

President Ovomit’s head is in his bowels, that's why...
He has no idea what he is doing or how life works so he throws out blanket assessments based on his fart has composition, which then stinks to high heaven and does nobody any good...

Question: Why did Obama declare ISIS CONTAINED the day before the Paris attack?

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander except the gander had the extreme misfortune to make tha statement on the day of a horrendous massacre.
The press attacked the action of President Bush who was recognizing the accomplishments of an Air craft carrier crew. Their mission was accomplished.
Obama made his foolish statement in reference to a narrow battlefield in Iraq. He can’t grasp the fact the battlefield is global.
