Obama: Systematic Strategy Aims to "Dismantle" ISIL

[Zacha341]

Looks like a response to all of this cannot wait until after the November elections afterall...

From article: A “systematic and methodical” strategy over a long period of time can “dismantle” the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, President Obama said Friday.

Speaking at the conclusion of an important NATO summit in Wales, Obama tried again during a news conference to clarify U.S. and international objectives against the terror organization, and the strategy necessary to combat the Sunni extremists. Beyond describing a considered approach unfolding in “stages,” and ruling out placing U.S. ground troops inside Syria, the president offered few specifics about military approaches, even as the timetable for developing options appeared to lengthen.

Although earlier in the week he described reducing the Islamic State until it was a “manageable problem,” on Friday Obama dismissed containment as an option.

“You can’t contain an organization that is running roughshod through that much territory, causing that much havoc, displacing that many people, killing that many innocents, enslaving that many women,” he said.

How is Obama and Team America is going to stop ISIS! They can't! Even though they could stop ISIS, another new terrorist group will take over. Let the Muslims deal with their own problems. Killing each other in the name of Allah, oil and water. They don't western influence or the U.S. So just leave them alone. Let them have their holy desert.

The way people act when confronted that gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama and find out that he has bombed more countries than any other Presidents since WWII

Hah! IMO, that Nobel Peace Prize 'gift' was way-over-the-top preemptive, whole-cloth political and awkward! Now made even more so! This stuff is getting harder to square whatever your political orthodoxy or bent!
