What Obama Said About ISIS Before The Paris Attacks Will Make Your Blood Boil If this doesnt make you angry, I dont know what will. During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, President Obama once again decided to downplay the threat of ISIS. I dont think theyre gaining strength, Obama responded to an interviewer. What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria theyll come in, theyll leave, but you dont see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain. Leave it to Obama to claim he is doing his job, while he continues to do nothing. At least he admitted some fault. What we have not yet been able to do is completely decapitate their command and control structures, he continued. Weve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part of our goal has been to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense. What do you think? Do we need a REAL leader as our Commander in Chief? Someone who recognizes a true threat when he sees one?
