Warren: Destroying ISIS should be 'No. 1 priority ' (Yes, Lizzie Warren)
The Hill ^ | 9/3/2014 | Jessie Byrnes

Posted on 09/04/2014 4:57:04 AM PDT by jalisco555

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday said that the Obama administration should make defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) its top priority.

"ISIS is growing in strength. It has money, it has organization, it has the capacity to inflict real damage. So when we think about a response we have to think about how to destroy that," Warren told Yahoo's Katie Couric.

Warren agreed that "time is of the essence."

"We need to be working now, full-speed ahead, with other countries, to destroy ISIS. That should be our No. 1 priority," she said in a wide-ranging interview promoting her latest book, A Fighting Chance.

President Obama said earlier in the day from Estonia that the U.S. would "degrade and destroy" the terrorist group. But later he said the country should work with allies to "shrink" the group's "sphere of influence," effectively making it a "manageable problem."

Seems that the democrats are finally recognizing the peril they have created for themselves.

She would have more credibility on this issue than Hillary.

Hillary helped create ISIS. Lizzie didn’t

I have a feeling Speaketh with Cheekbones means send ISIS welfare payments because inherent poverty is causing their mayhem. It’s big businesses fault and she’ll destroy the savages with EBT cards and Obamacare.

On this thread we’re discussing how a woman’s bad choices resulted in more trouble for her. What you’ll never, ever hear from Democrats is that their own president and his leadership team (think Hillary Clinton) played a key role in creating this mess. They may recognize the peril, but they’ll never take responsibility for it.

I disagree. Warren was a leading advocate for total withdrawal from Iraq. She got what she wanted and here we are.

Most journalists are left-wingers, so I’m wondering if watching a few of them get their heads sawed off has finally awoken liberals to the reality that Islamists want to kill them too.

Oh no…the latest crISIS. What will we then do about ERASEUS (European Radicals Aggressively Seizing Every UnIslamic State)?

Let’s extract ourselves militarily and monetarily from this latest iteration of a foreign entanglement and see how this plays out without us.

The “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) has enough manpower and weaponry to defeat those (like ISIS) who have hijacked (/sarcasm) the “religion of peace” (/sarcasm) Let them duke/nuke it out.

Pound sand, wigwam woman.

I nominate Elizabeth Warren for President of ISIS - they’d fall apart in months.

You can only have one priority. It’s what the word means.

Say what you will about Obama, at least he's an honest man. When he said he didn't have a strategy for dealing with ISIS he meant it. And apparently still means it.

Like a stopped clock Warren is apparently right twice a day.

1) ISIS needs to be bombed into oblivion.
2) Eric Cantor is a selfish backstabbing weasel.
