November 16, 201510 yr Very interesting read. I still stand behind my POTUS despite his failures abroad. Obama Takes On a Newly Hawkish Press - The Daily Beast
November 16, 201510 yr 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.
November 16, 201510 yr Author 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. 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?
November 16, 201510 yr 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.
November 16, 201510 yr Seems similar to the Bush "Mission Accomplished". Perhaps both have underestimated their enemy.

Read the link. Good points made throughout the link. I believe he admitted he was wrong about having ISIS contained last Thursday.

November 17, 201510 yr Author Hmmmmm......... Exclusive: 50 Spies Say ISIS Intelligence Was Cooked - The Daily Beast
November 17, 201510 yr 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.
November 17, 201510 yr 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.
