President Obama, at the beginning of his address, just told me that ISIL (most people call it ISIS) has nothing to do with Islam.
He\’s lost me already.
UPDATE: Mr. Obama – who pulled us out of Iraq in a way that left the country in collapse – just took credit for changing its head of state.
UPDATE: Now he is bragging about sending 470 non-combatant troops to Iraq. Why did he leave Iraq without any at all in 2011. How different would things have turned out if they were there?
UPDATE: Twice now he has referred to “a broad coalition” going along with us. No names of countries, no count of how many there are. How come?
UPDATE: I can\’t believe it. He really did cite Yemen and Somalia as United States success stories.
UPDATE: This is like watching Fantasy Island. He just told us that we are stemming Russian aggression in The Ukraine. Will someone tell the Ukraine, which Putin is busy taking over?
UPDATE: Did President Obama really say ISIL (as he calls it) is not a credible threat to the United States? Does that mean he has finally secured our borders? Because, if not, it makes no sense. Under Mr. Obama our borders are so porous that anyone can get through.
Speech is over. And it is a disaster. A joke. A magical, mystical reversal of his “no strategy” claim of less than two weeks ago – apparently driven far more by politics than reality. And does it ever show.
I suspect his dwindling number of boosters will try to make something positive out of this mess. I don\’t know how they can accomplish it.
