The Most Idiotic Comment in Presidential History
Creators Syndicate ^ | July 8, 2015 | Ben Shapiro

Posted on 07/07/2015 2:34:19 PM PDT by jazusamo

On Monday, President Obama spoke about his new strategy to take on the terrorist entity Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. In doing so, he explained that the battle against that terrorist group — a group he had once termed "JV" — would amount to a "generational struggle." Why would defeating a ragtag army of primitives take generations? Because, Obama explained, "This is not simply a military effort. Ideologies are not defeated by guns. They're defeated with better ideas." To cap off this airsickness bag of gobbledygook, Obama then concluded, "We will never be at war with Islam."

So let's get this straight. A group Obama said he would degrade and destroy can only be degraded and destroyed with ideas. Its own ideologies — its animating force, according to Obama — have nothing to do with Islam. The cretinism here resembles a perfect Jenga tower of fatuity: Remove one phrase, and the whole structure tumbles.

Americans should gawk at the sheer wonder of Obama's applesauce here. Obama's bad acid trip bumper sticker foreign policy — "Better Ideas Beat Bad Ideologies" over a Grateful Dead peace symbol — reeks of third grade oral presentations. It takes more than great ideas to beat ideologies — it takes heavy weaponry. The victims of the Holocaust didn't sit around thinking to themselves, "Golly, if only we'd been able to come up with a better idea than Nazism, that Hitler sure would have stopped all this nonsense." America didn't end World War II by dropping informational leaflets. We dropped warning leaflets, then bombs. Large ones. Atomic ones. No armed ideologues in history have been defeated solely by better ideas — at least not before decades of murder, repression and evil.

So what did Obama actually mean?...

Well, Obunghole, Islam is certainly at war with us. You are beyond idiotic.

Obola (or his handlers), (or “and” his handlers!) want Islam to win.

And the US, the UK, and Israel to lose.

At the rate of five bombs a day it will take several generations...

He is only pretending to fight ISIS. He is all about the hidden agenda.

In other words, we’re not going to wipe them out; we’re going to wait until they decide to stop raping, burning, head chopping and murdering.

It’s quite clear. He said it. Therefore he is not fit to be president.

President Ronald Reagan (American, documented):

"Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships."

Exactly! In Islam they are hearing his words of encouragement for generations to come!

We are in some sort of intellectual stupor. I just don't get it? Our president is actually drafting policy and enacting it to support our enemies and destroy our allies. We do nothing about it?

I agree that his philosophy - if you can dignify his random thought processes with the term - are operating at about the third grade level.

OTOH, 0vomit is defeating America without dropping any bombs.

If he had wanted to defeat ISIS he could have droned their convoys in the early days.

The US and Israel are behind ISIS/L in order to defeat Syria. We trained them in Jordan. They have our machinery and weapons. How are they repairing it? How are they getting supplies?

They have so much dirt on Obama that if he ever said what he really thought a tiny explosive put in his head would explode.

Yeah, Grandpa sure would have like to have known all he had to do was talk the Germans out of rounding up the Jews. All that forward artillary stuff he did at the Bulge was a waste.

Spouting "better" ideas won't work.

Even economic sanctions don't work. They sorta work to change the minds of ultimately well-minded people, e.g. South Africans and Apartheid. They definitely don't work against evil-minded people such as the North Koreans, the Iranians, etc.

As the tune goes: It's time to "bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran..." and ISIS and the Norks as well.
