ISIS leaders not safe says Obama
2016-08-05
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] President Barack Obama
I inhaled. That was the point...
said Thursday that ISIS appears to be shifting its tactics to "high profile" attacks on tourists in cities around the world as it loses ground in its homeland of Iraq and Syria.

"None of ISIS’s leaders are safe," Obama said, adding: "We're going to keep going after them."

Speaking after a meeting with US security chiefs at the Pentagon, he expressed concern
...meaning the brow was mildly wrinkled, the eyebrows drawn slightly together, and a thoughtful expression assumed, not that anything was actually done or indeed that any thought was actually expended...
about Russia's military action in support of the Syrian regime, and urged Moscow to cooperate with Washington to find a way out of the crisis.

He added: "The US remains prepared to work with Russia to try to reduce the violence and strengthen our efforts against ISIS (ISIS), Al-Qaeda and Syria. But Russia has failed to take the necessary steps. Given the deteriorating situation, it is time for Russia to show it is serious about pursuing these objectives."

But Obama also blamed the Assad regime in Syria for its civilian crisis. "It is deplorable," he said.

On Libya he said the strikes had been requested by the Government of National Accord, which is attempting to expel ISIS and consolidate control of the war-torn country. ISIS bandidos murderous Moslems are under assault in Sirte, their seafront stronghold. Earlier this week, US warplanes destroyed tanks, military vehicles and earth-moving equipment he said.

And he said ISIS had ’not had a successful operation in Iraq or Syria in a year’, Obama said.

#4  You folks are forgetting the main thing when listening to The One®, when his lips are moving you can be assured that he's lying about something.

#2  ISIS had ’not had a successful operation in Iraq or Syria in a year’, Obama said.

However, the ISIS JV team has had successful ops in:
- Orlando
- France
- Germany
- Turkey
- Caliphate still stands

This president lives in fantasyland. The blowhards security detail better be on their toes...with this kind of talk, ISIS will return the favor and eventually take a shot at our leadership like AQ did Massoud in Afghanistan.
