What Obama Means When He Says He Wants To ‘Degrade and Destroy’ ISIS
September 10 2014

From the article which is dated September 10, 2014, BTW. That is almost 5 month.

Just to put things into perspective, how long did it take President Bush to put together a coalition to invade Afghanistan after 9/11?
