I know that right wingers were hoping that they win out in Iraq with all their degradation of Obama's handling of the situation there and all their tales of ineptitude.

So sorry...

Was Obama's comment used to "pump them up"?

Seems so.

And check it out.... Not one dead American soldier.

No dead American soldiers but thousands of dead people. Beheaded, shot, hanged, and burned alive

With special emphasis on Christians

Just another example of Obama's supreme incompetence and his arrogance prevented him from taking action against them

Syria, Iraq turned into ‘international finishing school for extremists’ – UN report

Some 22,000 foreign fighters from around 100 countries went to Syria and Iraq to join various radical groups, experts have told UN Security Council. The area has turned into a global training ground for extremists.

Syria and Iraq are world’s biggest hotbeds for extremists linked with various offshoots of Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) and similar groups, a report seen by Reuters claims.

“For the thousands of [foreign fighters] who traveled to the Syrian Arab Republic and Iraq ... they live and work in a veritable 'international finishing school' for extremists as it was in the case in Afghanistan during the 1990s,” the experts wrote in their report submitted to the UNSC in March.

Other nations have problems with foreign fighters as well. Some 6,500 are fighting in Afghanistan, while Yemen, Libya, Pakistan and Somalia are infiltrated by hundreds of foreign extremists, according to the report. Libya shows a particularly worrisome development, as since the start of 2015 it experienced an inflow of foreign fighters, reversing the previous trend of supplying extremists to other countries.

The increasingly globalized nature of Islamist extremism poses a medium-term threat through “plug-and-play social networks for future attack planning - linking diverse foreign fighters from different communities across the globe,” the experts warned.

They added that if Islamic State is defeated by the US-led coalition in Iraq and Syria, an unintended consequence could be a scattering of the group’s members across the world.

The danger that Syria would become a hotbed for international terrorism was hard to overlook since the early days of the armed conflict there. The government of President Bashar Assad was ringing the bell saying foreign fighters were increasingly present among the rebel forces for years and accusing its neighbors like Turkey of turning a blind eye on the traffic of extremists across the border.

The Western public realized the threat only after the IS launched, from its Syrian stronghold, a lightning campaign and took over a large part of Iraq. The self-proclaimed caliphate’s military victories were mirrored by an aggressive recruiting campaign that lured hundreds of Europeans and Americans into their ranks.

Those fighters are now considered a serious threat, as they are expected to return to their home countries with their guerrilla warfare experience, contacts among extremists and a willingness to launch attacks on home soil.

“We have to deal with the threat of foreign fighters planning attacks against our people,” British Prime Minister David Cameron declared last year as he was announcing that his government would be able to ban suspected British jihadists from returning to UK.

“The root cause of the challenge we face is the extremist narrative. So we must confront this extremism in all its forms. We must ban extremist preachers from our countries. We must root out extremism from our schools, universities and prisons,” he added.

Meanwhile in the Middle East, Washington’s stated solution to the rise of extremists is a bombing campaign, which is supposed to help Iraqi troops take back the land taken from them by the IS. At the same time the US is training “moderate rebels” from Syria in a bid to make them capable to fight against the extremists and the Syrian government alike.

The strategy is flawed as it ignores the root of the problem, believes Lawrence Freeman from Executive Intelligence Review Magazine.

“We have to expose those who are behind the funding and coordination and the ideology of ISIL and Al-Qaeda,” he told RT. “There are indications continually that the Wahabi-Salafist ideology which is supported by the Saudi kingdom is being nurtured in a key component of ISIL and Al-Qaeda, and also Boko Haram [in Nigeria].”

The other key component would be economic development, which would give the people an alternative to joining the extremists, Lawrence added.

Wasn't that why Bush invaded in the first place to rid Iraq of Hussien because he was doing the same thing?

The only difference is that Obama's plan doesn't include American casualties that Bush used to later make jokes about.

‘Obama lying to public does nothing to deal with the underlying causes of ISIS & terrorism’

.................RT: President Obama says the US is defeating terrorism, do you agree with him?

Lawrence Freeman: No, President Obama once again is lying. We are not defeating terrorism. We have now Syria that has been fighting terrorists for several years and the country has been in a war. You have Iraq being split apart. Libya, which Obama decided to carry out a regime change policy in 2011, has now collapsed into another war of ISIL terrorists. You have the spread of Boko Haram now through the entire Lake Chad Basin through Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad. We are not defeating terrorism, this is typical of Obama lying to the public and he is doing nothing to deal with the underlying causes of the support for ISIL or the underlying causes for terrorism................................

Yikes...You have Far Right Lunatics saying the President isn't doing anything to Combat these ISIS thugs and a Far Left Lunatic saying the President doing too much.....Pathetic
 

EatTheRich

President
Obama does not have one foreign policy success
Nuclear arms limitation treaty with Russia
Establishing diplomatic relations with Cuba
Getting Assad to give up chemical weapons
Killing Osama bin Laden
Putting the Lord's Resistance Army on the run
Removing Gadhafi from power
Limiting the expansion of ISIS
Limiting the spread of Ebola
Preventing another 9/11

You can disagree with the morality of some of that, but it's hard to argue that he's been unsuccessful in advancing the interests of the American rulers.

Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, Russia, Libya - it I amazing to such a massive amount on incompetence Obama has demonstrated in only 6 1/2 years

and the left bellowed how the world would love and respect America when Obama was elected

Perhaps if Obama spent more time doing his job then playing golf, going to fund raisers and giving soft ball interview to a women with green lipstick who takes a bath in milk and Fruit Loops the world would not so screwed up
 
too funny - write on is completely unaware that the US assisted with air strikes in tikrit.
