What a real leader sounds like

It's just not our leader. Even though I don't agree with the guy on other issues, the approach on the ISIS issue is one thing that should bring all the sane people together. ISIS cannot and will not be tolerated. That is a great message to start with. Then you come up with a strategy. Obama didn't even hint that they were working on one. Then he went to play more golf.

No equivocation. No blame shifting. No downplaying. No namby-pamby "blame Bush for the Iraq war" rhetoric.

More importantly, never once does he say "We don't have a strategy."

This is a speech made by a man who understands the threat of radical Islam, and isn't afraid to lay the blame where it belongs. He's not trying to explain or understand the feelings of the enemy. He's not trying to coddle them, deal with them, or work around a direct solution.

He's not trying to appease.

At the same time, he's not advocating - as he says - some "knee-jerk" response. He is measured, intelligent, and strong.


I watched Cameron's speech live this am. It was quite compelling, and rather a relief to see a prominent world leader understand the threat we face with radical Islam.

In other news, ISIS is gathering in Juarez, and will soon be carrying out attacks in the U.S.

Thanks Obama!
 
For the millionth time, hater dupes, the president was talking about having a plan to attack ISIS IN SYRIA which the PENTAGON is working on. OUR MEDIA SUCKS, and why bother to talk about YOUR MEDIA. A lying bs propaganda DISGRACE.
 
Oblama could really take deep measures like Briton and raise the threat level....

According to the Obama-haters, that's Real Action From A Real Leader.

I prefer Obama's measured and considered reactions.

If RWs had their way, we'd be deep in several more wars.
Wrong. ISIS would be knee deep in their own blood & body parts.

If they have that much 411 they can take them out easily...
 
I see some glib remarks from the left, which gives the impression that they aren't worried about ISIS or any other terrorists. After 9/11, it was clear that terrorists are a big threat to us and the smart thing to do is not give them the chance. And what do we do? Continue to be reactionary instead of proactive. While I'm taking my shoes off at the airport and going through a security check, ISIS members and other terrorists are laughing at how easy it is to slip through our borders as the administration looks the other way.

It's not something to laugh at or dismiss. ISIS has the means to carry out their threats. Are we willing to bet that they won't?

No. Nobody is suggesting that. The problem is that you are not articulating a sensible plan to meet the threat. You haven't even established the degree of the threat.

America is not afraid of ISIS....even if some Americans are.

I would think that our agencies have already been working on a plan. There has been enough time to do that with ISIS considering how long they've been advancing. And we should also have plans in place for terrorists in general. Obama doesn't seem to concerned and says there is no strategy. I would expect him to at least say that we are working on one right now. We should be proactive, as I said, and not wait until something happens before taking action.
 
I've forgotten what a real leader sounds like.

But I sure as shinola know what a real one looks like:

Love 'im or hate 'im, you know it's true. :badgrin:

Yeah, not surprising you're just another brainless Pootarian. You're all a-flutter over a bully who beats up on little girls in the streets, shoots endangered tigers and starves his people. Goody for you. So, why don't you pack up and move to Russia and see how you like his "leadership" all up close and personal.

You're just talk. All show and no go.

Like you're in the know. Meh..

In the past, he has quietly planned and executed a truly surgical strike - as with bin Laden.

But, it won't matter what he does. The Repubs in congress won't stand WITH the US. They never do. Whatever he does, the right will lie about it.

You people need to get your head out of your ass when it comes to Obama.

Nope.

They'd just go on another vacation.

Paid for by the taxpayers.

I consider you a complete moron so your opinion really isn't relevant
 
We'd be in Iraq still, getting blown up by IEDs and with huge anti-wars protests if Romney the Booosh clone were in...with a-hole Maliki dictator....GOP chickenhawk fools...
