A lot of issues that most probably won't care about:

-I made the world safe, but we're facing an existential threat.

-ISIL is not Islamic, but radical Muslims from around the world are traveling thousands of miles to devote their lives to the cause.

- We've solved the chemical weapons issue (Aides: We failed to solve the chem weapons issue)

- I was aggressive on Russia (LOL)

Remember when Dubya signed the Status of Forces Agreement which outlined the removal of all combat US Forces from Iraq by June 30, 2009?

Good to see Barack do what Barack does best:

act when he's backed into a corner.


His whole presidency has been from the sidelines.

This time he will act, just how much and how quickly and how well is the question. Previously, he's claimed we're going to act and then declined to (Russia, Syria)

I keep agreeing with you. It's making me feel awkward.

I kid. This is something that everyone should agree on.

Anyone that doesn't think the timing of this isn't a mere to ploy to coincide with the mid-terms coming up in two months needs to have their head examined. This was nothing but a political ploy to answer the wolf knocking at the door by misleading the sheeple further over the edge.

Nothing about that speech scared a single fricking ISIL(S) or anyone else wanting to harm America's interests. This is the subtle making of a full blown war that we will see four to six weeks from now, nothing else. We have heard this same shite over and over again, nothing but smoke and mirrors for the folks that can't think about the world outside their bubble.

Correct answer. Not a great speech. Not the worst I've heard. And the Isis/Islaam thing, wtf was that?

When he actually does something to protect our lives, I'll stand with him. I'm 98% conservative, but i would stand beside him and be proud of our president if he took a strong stance, knew what he was doing, and kept us safe and free cause no matter what he is the leader of our country we love. He just isn't getting the job done, and that makes me upset.

So.........Did I understand that the lynch pin of the "strategy" is the same Iraqi Army that had entire divisions skull drug by a much, much, much smaller ISIS force running around in Toyota Tacomas?
