Obama Says No Plans for Imminent Escalation of Operations Against Islamic State Extremists Killed Nearly 500 This Week in One Syrian Province, Opposition Activists Say
By MICHAEL R. CRITTENDEN and SAM DAGHERAug. 28, 2014
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, President Barack Obama said that the Islamic State poses a direct threat to Iraq and the region requiring a broad, comprehensive military strategy to confront it. President Barack Obama signaled the U.S. has no immediate plans to escalate military operations against Islamic State extremists in Iraq or Syria, stressing the need to counter the group's advance while formulating a broader strategy to protect U.S. interests and allies.
Mr. Obama spoke on a day when Syrian opposition activists said the Sunni radical group had killed nearly 500 people since Sunday in the northeastern province of Raqqa, most of them Syrian troops captured on an air base seized by Islamic State fighters.
The president, who met with his national security team Thursday afternoon, said the U.S. is still developing its plan to root Islamic State out of Iraq and Syria, where it has captured large swaths of territory since June.
"We don't have a strategy yet," Mr. Obama said of potential plans for airstrikes in Syria. He said the long-term blueprint to respond to the growth of the militant group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, can't depend on U.S. actions alone.

There is more!
Just look at the two bulges below his lower lip!
I thought blood sucking Vampires had large tooth buds on their UPPER jaw?!
You don’t suppose that Obama is a Mutant, Half-breed Vampire do you?
Those who fail to plan have planned to fail.
I believe Obama is a ‘half breed’. His mama was a white woman and his daddy was an Indonesian/Java guru named Muhammed Subuh.
“We don’t have a strategy yet,”
We understand mr. Prez. You were vacationing and playing golf all last week.
I know there are some around here who still love Bush-bashing, but the Bush-Cheney White House would have already done some seriously major ISIS butt-kicking by now. In fact, ISIS would probably have never got started at all.
There’s no question that his power is derived almost exclusively from the media. Without the backing of the media he has no power or influence. Proof of this is the fact that the rest on the world, where the US media has no influence, his power is nonexistent. That is why he is so weak against Putin, the islamists, the Chinese, even Karzai.
However in the US where the MSM shapes opinions, he mops the floor with republicans, and gets away being a dictator without a peep from the “opposition”.
Over the next two year the outside world will descend more and more into chaos because of America’s lack of influence there, meanwhile the US will descend into a de facto dictatorship because of the power handed to him by the media.
of course not. the golf courses are still open.
arrest and remove from office
Odumbo hasn’t got time to initiate any resistance to ISIS, he’s too busy vacationing, playing golf or attacking U.S. citizens on the home front.
Words cannot describe the despise I have for that creep and what he has brought onto this once great country.
Either that, or malevolent mastermind. I'll go with FFOH. :)
Again with the comments that “Obama” is stupid, incompetent, naive, etc.
“Obama” is an illegal alien foreign agent. He is a Muslim terrorist. He plans to nuke the United States. He has been flying terrorists and weaponry into the U.S. by the hundreds of thousands. He has been funding the equipping ISIS and every other terrorist group he can find.
Of course he has no plans to do anything about ISIS, except enable them.
BTW: Note how he always calls them “ISIL”? The “L” is for “Levant.” In other words, “Obama” is signaling that Israel is an alien force occupying what ought to be Caliphate land.
This is the one time he should have lied. He came from a position of weakness, thereby signaling ISIS and every other terrorist group, we ain’t gots nothin’.
Before Labor Day is over, we’ll see an attack/attempted attack right here on our soil.
