During Press Conference On Islamic State, President Obama Recalls Kiss With

The same poll also finds just 17% of voters think prominent Muslims have stepped up to criticize terror attacks like the one in Paris; 68% say they need to speak out more. “Make no mistake, we will win, and groups like ISIL will lose”.

The president said the USA homeland was being protected by the world’s best security professionals, after the State Department on Monday night issued a worldwide travel alert warning U.S. citizens to be vigilant traveling during the holiday season.

Obama and Hillary Clinton won’t even say “Islamic terrorist” while willing to put our sons and daughters and families at risk.

“By my bed in the residence is a picture of me and Michelle in Luxembourg Gardens, kissing”, Obama said.

Hollande said that, militarily, France would continue to strike at Raqqa, Syria, which Islamic State has declared the capital of its nominal caliphate.

There is more agreement on a stricter screening process for Syrian refugees.

Obama is so far reacting to the global crisis by attempting to convey a delicate balance of toughness and compassion, both maintaining that he has an aggressive strategy for defeating ISIS while urging Americans to remain open to refugees who are fleeing from the terrorist group in Syria and Iraq.

Obama said that the IS, its leadership and network would be destroyed.

Swiftly after the attacks, which killed 129 and wounded hundreds more, the House of Representatives passed a bill with bipartisan support that would effectively pause the Obama administration’s plan to resettle up to 10,000 asylum seekers.

Obama said he understands why Americans are feeling afraid, but “I want to be very clear about this: I am not afraid that ISIL will beat us due to their operations”.

Obama expressed solidarity with France after the attacks in Paris, calling the French “our oldest ally”.

For example, over Christmas 2009, he struggled to keep up with rapidly evolving news coverage after an al Qaeda operative attempted to bring down a USA airliner over Detroit, possibly because he was thousands of miles away from the political tumult enjoying his annual vacation in his native Hawaii. Our society is also not powerless and we do have the means to stop them if we execute our plans correctly. Obama stood by and gave them warm words.

“We need a consolidated anti-terrorist position of those countries that have a large Islamic community and, incidentally, Russian Federation is one of these countries”, he said.

“We can not and we will not succumb to fear”, Obama said, standing alongside French President Francois Hollande after they met at the White House to discuss the anti-ISIS mission.

Back on US soil, in a high-stakes press conference, he didn’t make that error again.

U.S.-led military efforts come amid parallel talks about a diplomatic solution to end Syria’s civil war.
