I think it's important for us to recognize that ISIS is just one of a number of organizations that we have to stay focused on,' Obama told CBS News' Norah O'Donnell. 'This is going to be a global challenge and one that the United States is going to have to address but we're not going to be able to address it alone.'

He wouldn’t be saying that if the ‘extremists’ were waving Gadsen flags.

As far as this administration is concerned, an islamic caliphate is a feature and not a bug.

I didn’t think it was possible, but it seems that with each passing day, I am able to feel a greater dislike and contempt for this person than I had the day before.

Yeah, he wants his DHS, FBI, ATF, BLM et al to be able to whack-a-mole with patriots here in this country. Worrying about other Muslim melee’s around the world impedes this.

We funded FSA not ISIS. ISIS attacked the FSA and defeated it.

Lots of misunderstanding with this.

Using drones is “whack a mole” ...the alternative is carpet bombing then starting over. The ultimate reset button. We won’t push that button, but Islam would in a heartbeat.

Of course, Obama says that. He prefers that we surrender to his colleagues, the Muslim extremists, at the outset, thereby eliminating the need for any games. It’ll save time in the end.

America cannot keep playing Elect An A-Hole if it wants to survive. The country has put itself in serious danger by playing two rounds of Elect An A-Hole.
