Maybe the stupidest thing any President has ever said at any time.

Of course, it was ideas that defeated King George, German, Japan, etc.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

My better idea? Shoot them all.

[Boogieman]

Yep, I remember when we totally outdebated Hitler and he just ran down to his bunker and offed himself.

[Bryanw92]

First you bring them to their knees with weapons, then you deliver the better ideas to them when they are not permitted to act on the bad ideas anymore. (See Nazi Germany for details)

[Catsrus]

This is the dumbest man to ever hold the office of president. And, ISIS sits back, laughing their arses off while they continue to take over country after country, killing, raping and torturing people. Yeah - better ideas - that’s what we need. How stupid can one person be?

[GenXteacher]

Bad ideas are best dealt with using machine guns and cannon, if carpet bombing, nukes, and poison gas are not available.

[Starboard]

Not even ideas, just more rhetoric and BS from our radical president.

[Paladin2]

Islam is a good idea?

[Vendome]

Hitler and Mussolino must be pissed.,

Then why not simply disband the armed forces and pull out your pen, to write your tomes?

Reminder to Barack Obama: Never bring a knife to a gun fight.

[grania]

Why doesn't he just SHUT UP??

ISIS could've been disintegrated a year ago when they were still marching across the desert in a column. When the opposition's idea is to kill everyone in their way, the only idea that's going to stop them is killing them first.

And I'm basically a pacifist. Until lately.

“If elected, we will work with President Obama”
- Mitch and Jonbon

Thank you lesser evil Freepers.

[RansomOttawa]

Truly the Neville Chamberlain of our time.

[DannyTN]

Here’s a better idea...

Shoot all people with violent ideologies who wield guns, machetes, or any other kind of weapon.

[ctdonath2]

Lopping off the heads of dissenting ideologists is a pretty effective way of squelching better ideas. ISIS knows this.
While attempting to propagate better ideas, one may need guns to impede said loppings.

[CivilWarBrewing]

Islam is at WAR with everything Un-Islamic. THERE IS NO COMPROMISE UNDER ISLAM and the Islamists would NEVER accept an alternative "idea" THAT DOES NOT INVOLVE MURDER.

If we are NOT at war with Islam but THEY are at war with us, then.. WE LOSE.

[liberalh8ter]

I think Obama should head over to ISIS headquarters, unarmed and unaccompanied, and discuss his “ideas” with them.....come to think of it, if he's going there to discuss ideas, he's definitely unarmed.

[tacticalogic]

So why does he brag about killing Bin Laden?

Obama on ISIS Threat: "Ideologies Are Not Defeated With Guns, They Are Defeated By Better Ideas"

I know this is a fictitious character, but Brad Pitt's "Inglorious Basterds" character's words in this scene really sums up how we fight evil in our time..

"Now, I don't know about y'all, but I sure as hell didn't come down from the g###amn Smoky Mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half of Sicily and jump out of a f#####' air-o-plane to teach the Nazis lessons in humanity. Nazi ain't got no humanity. They're the foot soldiers of a Jew-hatin', mass murderin' maniac and they need to be dee-stroyed. That's why any and every son of a bitch we find wearin' a Nazi uniform, they're gonna die."

[LeoWindhorse]

this is why the men that surround him there at that podium should relieve him of his command . This is not going to get any better and we have both and country and the world as we know it to lose , if we stay the present course .

[pluvmantelo]

President Platitude shares his wisdom once again.
