President Obama is vowing to redouble efforts to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) after the terror group claimed credit for attacks in Paris that killed 129.
"The skies have been darkened by the horrific attacks that took place in Paris just a day and a half ago," Obama Sunday said in Antayla, Turkey at the start of the G20 Summit.
Obama said during brief comments with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that the killing of innocent people is an attack "on the civilized world."
"We stand in solidarity with" France, Obama said, according to a reporter traveling with the president, adding that the U.S. is committed hunting down the terrorists responsible for the attacks.
"We will redouble our efforts, working with other members of the coalition, to bring about a peaceful transition in Syria and to eliminate Daesh as a force that can create so much pain and suffering for people in Paris, Ankara and other parts of the globe," Obama said.
Erdogan also strongly condemned the Paris attacks.
"I had an opportunity to discuss with Barack the fight that we are conducting against Daesh in Syria,â Erdogan said. âAs model and strategic partners we will continue to show solidarity with each other with an understanding towards global peace."
"We are confronted with a collective terrorism activity around the world," he added.
Obama did not answer a reporter who asked whether heâs considering additional action against ISIS in the wake of the Paris attacks.
âWait until the press conference,â ISIS said.
“The skies have been darkened “
Who writes this maudlin crap? Bill Ayers?
The skies were darkened when US supported islamic terrorists bombed a Russian civilian airliner over Egypt and blew a 10 month old baby girl 21 miles away from the aircraft
Did Barry not mention the connection?
I think redouble means quadruple or it used to before common core....
Yes, he will redouble efforts -— he’ll bring in DOUBLE the terrorists from ISIS...now...
“redouble “
Two times zero is zero.
“President Obama is vowing to redouble efforts to fight the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)”
So 100 troops? ...doing what again.
Not arming the Kurds X 2 = not arming the Kurds.
âThe skies have been darkened â
Sounds like it’s straight out of the Koran, IMO.
ISIS IsUs. We put the DUH in AllCIAduh.
My thought exactly! 2 x 0 = 0
“Barry canât handle the JV”
Let alone the Frosh/Soph team.
Redouble what efforts? What is he talking about? We are not confronting ISIS in any way. All he is is talk.
Obama declares ISIS "contained" just before the bloody strikes on Paris, and since the attack, Obamanation announces the U.S. will bring in even MORE Syrian "refugees" !!! Nobody has the will to stop the building of their bloody Caliphate, the GREATEST threat to the world. Instead we have "leaders" with their empty rhetoric, jostling each other to be at the forefront of photo ops, candlelit vigils, and 60's folksingers singing "Kumbaya". None of those will mean a damn to ISIS!!! They're pillaging, raping, selling young girls into sexual slavery, slaughtering Christians in the most horrific ways, and burning people alive. I saw a report with photos of 3 men who would not convert to Islam suspended over a fire and turned as if on a spit. Liberals say not a word about any of this, but we hear ad infinitum about the ridiculous Republican "war on women" and globalwarming.
In the meantime, he moved Isis into the US. Congress does nothing.
