The CNN/ORC poll found 57% of Americans disapprove of how Obama is handling the threat posed by ISIS, a significant decline in support for the President over the past few months. In late September, that number was 49%.

Fifty-seven percent disapprove of his handling of foreign affairs more broadly, and 54% disapprove of how the President is handling terrorism. Another 60% rate Obama negatively on his handling of electronic national security.

Poll: Most disapprove of Obama handling of ISIS - CNN.com

Interesting, I bet the numbers have only risen after this weekends bloodshed.

Obama has the opportunity to lead the world including the largest arab coalition in history against ISIS, but instead he had the nerve to mention jobs programs for them. :doh
 
Most have absolutely no idea how to handle this situation and just like to complain. By all means, offer some meaningful alternative.

Terrorism is not a problem the USA and a partial congregation of countries should shoulder. This is global criminality and should be addressed by the United Nations. The President and the then Secretary of State should have been much more pushy in that direction during the Arab Spring, in Libya and in Syria, where IS gained its leverage.

See, that's something useful. This should be addressed by the global community, not just as a conflict between the United States and ISIS. But we should have been doing this for decades, as soon as the Cold War was done. It's not an issue you can simply lay at the feet of Obama and Hillary Clinton. This is two decades of failure to deal with the consequences of even more decades of failure.

Actually, the problem was Analysen after the fall of the Soviet, the US did push some and the UN reacted with r2p. But this has made only slow progress and we have been doing too little.

Greetings, US Conservative. :2wave:

He also talked about "focusing like a laser" on jobs here, too, beginning in 2009 and continuing into 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 etc. It's all talk and no action! People even began to comment on his apparently defective laser, suggesting it go to the repair shop! :lol: I agree that men do need jobs, no matter where they live, but how does that square with their religious outlook on life? Does that mean that if they're busy working they won't have time to behead people or burn them alive or any of the other atrocities they are committing? I don't know, but this must not continue! They are getting more brazen and arrogant as time passes, and they seem to enjoy what they are doing, while daring Obama and other countries into doing something about it - like bullies usually do! We know who the leaders are who have master-minded this - strike at them and permanently get rid of the scumbags starting now!!

If you are seriously advocating for the UN, you are advocating for nothing-you know that right?

This isnt about how things should be-its about reality.

A CNN poll was conducted by Opinion Research Corporation from 29 September to 2 October 2006. 1,014 adults were polled nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3%. 61% of those polled disapproved of the war in Iraq, 38% approved, with 1% unsure.[2]

Unfortunately, Americans are always a day late and a dollar short. Destructive USFP still creeps on.

That is the problem. The math says we will go down, if we do not internalize international security at a supra national, actually at the global level. The organizations to do this are few.

So we do the impossible or sleep in nuclear night.

Yeah its the same old rehashed spin, how many "recovery summers" have we had now? Remember Obama saying he "will not rest"?

And now he's trying to sprinkle some of that same fail over ISIS as if thats going to work. They are fighting an apocalyptic religious war, and our POTUS is saying we can't kill them,and that he will give them jobs. :doh

He's completely unprepared for reality.

I said meaningful alternative, not bogging us down in another war that will only serve to galvanize more extremists against us.

We should provide them with jobs and economic oppoopportunities

This is gibberish. Obama needs to put together a coalition of western and arab forces and expose these jihadi freaks to large amounts of kinetic energy. And then we need to commit to keeping a presence in the region to promote stability. Doing so sets a precedence.

Talking about fairy tales like jobs and indecision sets another we dont want.

I am not sure, that your perspective is right. But in the case of IS we can certainly support others, if they are willing to do the lifting.
