On ABC’s “Good Morning America,” President Barack Obama “downplayed” the threat of ISIS in an interview with George Stephanopoulos.
Stephanopoulos asked Obama if “ISIS was gaining in strength,” to which Obama denied they were.
“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”
“What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures,” he admitted. “We’ve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense.”
Look how “contained” they’ve been over the past month…
BEIRUT: 43 killed in double suicide bombing
ANKARA: 102 killed in suicide bombing
BAGHDAD: 18 killed in suicide bombing
SINAI: 224 killed in Russian airliner bombing
PARIS: 129 people killed
Obama’s response to the “massacre” in Paris by Muslim “terrorists” from Syria?
He announced that he is “rushing” to increase and “accelerate” the number of Syrian refugees/jihadists who be “admitted” into the United States by opening new “screening” outposts in Iraq and Lebanon.
When will the American people “wake up” and stop the Obama Administration and Congress from “destroying” the country and having innocent “citizens” killed?
Time for starting a “revolution” against the current “regime” in Washington, D.C.
