PurplePride92 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Very interesting read. I still stand behind my POTUS despite his failures abroad. Obama Takes On a Newly Hawkish Press - The Daily Beast
TexasRanger Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Per Obama, ISIS IS CONTAINED! As much as Carson gets bashed on the other threads, this Obama sound bit has to rank right there with the knife story, killing hitler and going to west point. Making this statement makes you wonder what reality looks like to him.

As much as Carson gets bashed on the other threads, this Obama sound bit has to rank right there with the knife story, killing hitler and going to west point. Making this statement makes you wonder what reality looks like to him. And he has come out and admitted he was wrong about that also. Would you prefer he stay stubborn and not admit when he is wrong?
TexasRanger Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Nope I would rather have a president who admits to their mistakes. Thats a rare commodity in Washington. I missed him saying he was wrong, please continue.
BlueTip Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Seems similar to the Bush "Mission Accomplished". Perhaps both have underestimated their enemy.

I missed him saying he was wrong, please continue. Read the link. Good points made throughout the link. I believe he admitted he was wrong about having ISIS contained last Thursday.

Right, prior to the Paris attacks. That's what I was referring to. Good for him to admit he made a mistake.
PurplePride92 Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Hmmmmm......... Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked - The Daily Beast
Bluegrasscard Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 I watched the early part of the speech yesterday. The original article seems to be a spin on a torturous speech that lacked a solkid message or much cohesion.
Bluegrasscard Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Here is a very good video on the origin of ISiS. And yes - some of the blame goes back to....Bush. The presenter actually does have interchange with Obama at 4:30 mark. Why we are involved in a country with no American interest at stake is still a question. But Obama admits - we are helping with 'non-lethal' aid. Also at 7:50 there is a picture of ISIS with what looks like a JTLV prototype. JTLVs are the new generation humvees. In any case ISIS took over a lot of abandoned US equipment.
