The Turkish border is an open gateway for Islamic State (ISIS) fighters to pour through in order to continue growing the numbers of the Islamic terror organization in Syria and Iran.
Up to now, Obama has been dismissive of ISIS, calling them a JV team and allowing only occasional bombing raids against them in order to provide the pretense that he is anxiously engaged in stamping out this world threat.
Many believe that Obama is covertly rooting for and propping up ISIS as a way to depose Bashar al Assad, leader of Syria, rather than to become more involved militarily in that effort.
But with the suicide bombings and murders carried out by ISIS suicide bombers a couple of weeks ago, coupled with the embarrassing actions of Russia that showed a commitment to destroy ISIS and the military wherewithal to do just that, Obama is finally waking up to the fact that his narrative is becoming irrelevant regarding the terrorist organization.
Now he is taking action, and by that I mean that he is talking tough, which is about as committed as he gets in defending the U.S. citizenry.
Obama takes action, page 2
Have to agree finally someone in authority points out how hypocritical this administration is. They claim high minded ideas at home but when they look overseas and see the same kind of problem (ok Mexico isn’t terrorist but they also get her with out our government knowing)
yes go then
He is hypocrite. What a Dumbass.
And the Mexicans are leaving
Isis are Americans dummy we are the terrorists
There was never any doubt that bin Laden was in pakistan. Occasionally you’d hear talk he might be on border but always he was thought in pakistan.
But I will give Obama the credit it’s his only foreign policy decision I agree with.
I supported him in 2008 and for 5 years I kept saying their was still time for him to grow into the job.
But after the chemical weapon threat against Syria that he needed Russia to get him out of I gave up.
A president should never say america will act if something happens without understanding you might just have your bluff called.
Over and over he has used words and never stood behind them. John Kerry just last month set a deadline for peace talks on Syria by august… who in their right mind is going to be worried about the united states if they know it’s all talk.
The next four years will be dangerous because the next president is going to be challenged and that means war is more likely not less.
Jimmy carter did same thing but reagan did get through to iran.
Bill clinton let saddam hussein drag him every year back to Persian Gulf only tossing a few missiles.
When George w. Bush took over hussein believed he would be like clinton. Worse after 12 years most no longer understood why we kept those sanctions but did nothing else.
Anyone (meaning hillary ) who believes the commander and chief would send 100 thousand troops over as a bluff is to out if touch to be in charge.
Mexicans are leaving the United States in record numbers,this country is 19 trillion dollars in debt,full of hate,crime,racism and a corrupted government,this country is no better than Mexico.
Research it Mexico is getting richer and starting to pay a decent hourly wage more than Americans pay them,American businesses want to move to Mexico,why because the United States is done for now your immigrants are from the mideast
Americans are converting to Muslim as well the numbers are growing.
Agree but after Jimmy Carter and bill clinton it seems every 8 years we suffer memory loss on how bad liberals can make things.
Sad part clinton had actually gave some show that liberals could function a bit on foreign policy.
This president has brought liberals back to Jimmy Carter days
Right now I’m fine with stopping any more horrible decisions on foreign policy.
Correcting the past will not be done in 4 years. And no one party can do it only parents teaching morality and politicians understanding they can’t enforce morality wither it be liberal or conservative view of morality.
