Do Americans think President Obama has a transparent plan for ISIS?
President Obama’s dealings with ISIS are “inept and incompetent and nonexistent”, said conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh.
Obama said that the IS, its leadership and network would be destroyed. They can not strike a mortal blow against the United States or against France.
Williams: The president is meeting with President Francois Hollande for the first time since the Paris attacks.
Under the bill, no refugees from Syria or Iraq could enter the USA until stricter screening measures are in place and it is clear that the refugees do not pose a threat to national security.
Once a strong point of his presidency, approval of how President Obama is handling the threat of terrorism has dropped to an all-time low.
Obama was hit with a wave of criticism in the wake of the terrorists’ attacks in France and Lebanon, which left hundreds dead.
Adam Kredo of the Washington Free Beacon reported last week that US air force pilots had told Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, that the Obama administration policy meant to prevent civilian deaths and collateral damage in Iraq and Syria is to blame for the lack of effective bombing of Islamic State targets.
The poll was released a day after Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev lashed out at the USA, saying its actions have given rise to the Islamic State. A CBS News poll published on Monday found that 66% of Americans believe that he does not yet have a clear plan for defeating ISIS.
“People have understandably been so concerned, given how similar Paris is to many American cities, that I get why legislation in the House moved forward quickly”, Obama said Sunday.
The CBS News poll was conducted among a random sample of 1,205 adults; it did not list a margin of error. He added that everyone can do their part not to create a perception bolstering ISIL’s propaganda, which falsely asserts that somehow the U.S.is at war with Islam. “We can not give them the victory of changing how we go about living our lives”.
“It will be helpful if Russian Federation directs its focus on ISIL”, he said, using another name for ISIS, instead of targeting rebels opposed to embattled Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
French president François Hollande is in the middle of his grand world tour to try and extract political pinky swears from as many leaders as possible when it comes to promising to help fight ISIS.
“It is strengthened by people from every religion, including Muslim Americans”, said Obama during a press conference at The Ritz-Carlton here yesterday. “That’s the spirit we need today”.
Obama’s plan to rehouse 10,000 Syrian refugees in the US has received massive resistance from many elected officials in the past few weeks. Only 4% think we should leave the fight to others.
Back on US soil, in a high-stakes press conference, he didn’t make that error again.
