Admitting the obvious

Post by Swampman »

. . . Obama, who has long been reluctant to enter into the Syrian conflict, told reporters Thursday that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for confronting ISIS on a regional level.

Tell us something we don't know dumbass. The administration can't agree on a strategy to combat a terror threat they ignored for four years, and some of whose members have American and European passports. What a useless bunch of idiots.

We're doomed. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, we will see an attack here before this buffoon gets out of office.

Obama seems to be doing more to make the case for a Republican takeover of the Senate than any of the Republican campaigns I've yet seen. Maybe that's already been realized by Republican campaign managers.

Yup. The POTUS went on TV and in effect admitted he didn't know what in the hell to do. Just amazing. (that we'd elect such a zero and that even HE would make such an admission to the world - - NOT that he doesn't know whether to scratch his azz or wind his watch).

I was also disgusted but not surprised to note that in the two regional papers I get every morning, the most prominent coverage that got was on page 4. OF COURSE something really bad is coming from the terrorists. The Obamunists are BEGGING for it.

He is a dangerous incompetent leader.

The only thing he is good at is bullying Christians and attempting to force them to find abortions and have gay wedding in their home.

The best line of commentary I've heard yet...

~~~
The bad news: We have no strategy as to ISIS, or anything else in the Middle East other than reducing American influence.

The good news: Obama is telling the truth.

I don't see how the joint chiefs could not even have "options" on the table, cause we still have plans on the books for cavalry invasions into canada... :doh:

I'm sure the joint chiefs have and had options on the table for a long while.

The Emperor is lying. Of course, he has a strategy.

His plan is to let our enemies continue along their paths unobstructed. Then, he will cheerfully surrender the nation to whichever group attacks us first.

This loser , this administration....God help us! My friggin rebellious teenager has more commonsense and ability to lead this nation in his pinky then this complete waste.

I did it a few weeks ago, may do it again.

I painted : " HANG TRAITORS " on the back of my vehicles and drove around towns for a few days.

Even his own party considers him inept. Like everyone else here....his only cult followers are GAY people and BABY KILLERS.

He has "checked out"

There is about a 99% chance that he does have a strategy for dealing with ISIS. It's called a contingency plan. We have some very senior military and naval officers working full time with numerous military and civilian assistants whose only reason for existing is to think of what might happen, and if it does what could go wrong. As far back as the 1960s we have had contingency plans for a shooting war with Canada.

There are a few reasons that could have caused him to say he didn't have a strategy for ISIS. It could be he doesn't know he has a strategy. It could be he doesn't like the strategy he has. It could be he really is on the other side.

None of that makes it any less foolish to tell the world he doesn't have a strategy. This man is unbelievably incompetent. He has a reputation of being the smartest man in the room. He must be surrounded by some prize buffoons.

Truth is probably is more like: "We have a strategy, but Valerie Jarrett hasn't told me what it is yet."

Lawmakers are fuming over President Barack Obama's admission on Thursday that his White House lacks a strategy for dealing with the rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) in Syria, with one congressman comparing his performance to the bumbling sheriff's deputy Barney Fife from 'The Andy Griffith Show.

A possibility is the O wants an attack. He has everything he legally needs to rule under martial law with greater powers than any previous president. The never ending third term. I don't believe it's that far fetched.

He does not have the political capital to pull off martial law. In order to not face an unending insurgency he would need much more support than what he has.

Not saying he would not try it. Just that it would be disasterous for everyone including him and his.
