President Barack Obama on Wednesday vowed that the United States will not be swayed from airstrikes against Islamic State after the group beheaded an American journalist, an act he said is proof that the militants stand for no religion. "The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done," he said.

He said militants have rampaged across cities and villages, abducted women and children and subjected them to torture and rape and killed Muslims, both Sunni and Shia, by the thousands."No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day," he said. "Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim, out of expediency, that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is, they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior," Obama said.....snip~

So what do you think.....maybe this finally got to him. He pretty much told these terrorists we will do what we have to do. What say ye?
 
Rumor has it that the Admin's main focus will be utilizing the FBI to find these guys. Not the best approach IMHO. FBI is good when they have a controlled environment. That region is anything but controlled. This is best suited for military/intelligence.
 
NY Post said it best, It is time to bomb ISIS.

Heya Fishstyx. :2wave: Well he did say Justice.....and sending the FBI didn't do so well in Libya. So lets hope he isn't thinking about any Judicial Process.

Except what is the only thing that will actually make a real difference... Boots on the ground.

Heya Jango. :2wave: Well he does have to take a harder stance now.....especially after the Pope and Rome said ISIS needs to be stopped. How would he look if he didn't?

Heya Beaudreaux :2wave: Agreed there.....Air Power will just push them around and now we have to be concerned due to the ManPads and Anti Air they have amassed.

At least Assad has been bombing Their HQ and their Operations inside Syria for the last 3 days.

Is there a red line in there somewhere?

Would be par for the course. Sadly, think he views this as a criminal act and not actually what it is.

Boots on the ground. Face to face - rifle to rifle - hand to hand. That's what it takes... short of a nuke, that is.

Obama has already ruled out the only option that will work. Although he lied, because USAF Combat Controllers are already on the ground calling in the air strikes and lighting up the targets - as are a large number of other SOF personnel. (other secret squirrels)

Yep :lol: ....BO wont crossover the one where he has to use the word, Terrorists.....as he went with Militants even though he cited their name.
 
Obama doesn't bomb ISIS, conservatives mad.
Obama bombs ISIS, conservatives mad because he doesn't bomb them enough.
Obama says he's going to bomb ISIS more, conservatives mad because
 
Yep :lol: ....BO wont crossover the one where he has to use the word, Terrorists.....as he went with Militants even though he cited their name.
:lol: From his speech on the seventh of this month:

First, I said in June -- as the terrorist group ISIL began an advance across Iraq -- that the United States would be prepared to take targeted military action in Iraq if and when we determined that the situation required it. In recent days, these terrorists have continued to move across Iraq, and have neared the city of Erbil, where American diplomats and civilians serve at our consulate and American military personnel advise Iraqi forces.

To stop the advance on Erbil, I’ve directed our military to take targeted strikes against ISIL terrorist convoys should they move toward the city. We intend to stay vigilant, and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in Iraq, including our consulate in Erbil and our embassy in Baghdad. We’re also providing urgent assistance to Iraqi government and Kurdish forces so they can more effectively wage the fight against ISIL.

Anti War Liberals Upset about BO going back into Iraq.....very Mad.
Democrats upset BO doesn't really have a plan.....Repubs join with Demos. Both now getting mad.

BO says don't go away mad.....just go away. All cuz BO is mad.

Its a Mad Mad Mad World out there. But they still make Glad Sandwich Bags here in America. :lol:

Actually, as an amendment to my earlier post, he used the term today as well. Like, in the first sentence:

"Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of Jim Foley by the terrorist group, ISIL."

"The people of Iraq, who with our support are taking the fight to ISIL, must continue coming together to expel these terrorists from their communities[/I]."

"This is the progress that needs to continue in order to reverse the momentum of the terrorists who prey on Iraq’s divisions."

"The people of Syria, whose story Jim Foley told, do not deserve to live under the shadow of a tyrant or terrorists."

I mean, do you even read this stuff? :lol:

"We must define our effort not as a boundless 'Global War on Terror,' but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America," Obama said.
Obama: 'Global War on Terror' Is Over - US News

terrorism:
noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.

Terrorism | Define Terrorism at Dictionary.com

So terrorists aren't violent extremists?
 
So what do you think.....maybe this finally got to him. He pretty much told these terrorists we will do what we have to do. What say ye?

I think every word he spoke was a lie. He has no intention of going after people, he has no intention of doing anything to protect Americans … hell, he has the southern door to our country wide open, if he gave a **** about the citizens he'd fix that first.

Wasn't this the little speech he threw out there then headed back to the golf course? Yeah, it is clear where his priorities are…

Yeah I read the OP.....but notice how that wasn't what is in the OP.....so did you want to say I was suppose to read his mind? Or that I was suppose to run around and check each and every article that's up with what was reported? Or that I was first to check with the WH Site before throwing up what Reuters reported.

Now hows your reading comprehension? Did you have trouble with the Reuters Piece I have up?

Care to show where that is in the Report? Oh wait.....let me guess. You never even read the OP.....huh? Hows your thought construct working now? :lamo

He will be criticized no matter what he decides to do.

You could just go to the actual statement before making a claim as to what was not included in the statement, instead of just skimming headlines :shrug:
 
And if he did, he wouldn't be what he accuses Obama of being--a B.I.L. .

Well, I went with what one of the New Agencies that when they Report, all others get theirs from them. The other being the AP. So if you want to fault for me going with the norm. Thats on you. But then again.....going by what Reuters reported, Did you want to say that's what Reuters was reporting or that I got what Reuters was reporting wrong?


Looks like the AP got it wrong to.....huh?


Obama: US won't stop confronting Islamic State.....

Associated Press 8 hours ago

President Barack Obama says the United States will continue to confront Islamic State extremists despite the brutal murder of journalist James Foley.

Obama says the Islamic State abducts women and children, and tortures, rapes, enslaves and kills people. He said the Islamic State targets Christians and other minorities and aims to commit genocide.....snip~

Obama: US won't stop confronting Islamic State


What happened.....they didn't use terrorist either? Plus their is 2 hrs older than Reuters? Imagine that!

Also Read my first post to any claim. :roll:

Oh and skimming news sites.....when I work in the industry is the name of the game. But.....then can you explain why a Political Site doesn't have up a Speech by the President. When its been out for the last 8 hrs?
