I agree with 2007 candidate Obama

Quote

The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.

We have zero business embroiling our selves in Iraq/Syria's civil wars. Regional actors should step up. There is zero evidence that ISIS is an actual or imminent threat to the US.

What a farce. Obama says we have no evidence that ISIS has a plot against the US, yet they have threatened us so we must act.

So because ISIS said they wanted to wave a black flag over the White House and they kidnapped/killed two journalists they get a full Presidential Address and the full might of US airstrikes?

Seems like we just encouraged every two-bit terrorist group on the globe to follow this blueprint.

Hey Iraq just formed a totally legit new government with all ethnic groups represented and hey also their army is all good to go because we've "reconstituted" it so no problems so far, let's eliminate ISIS!

Hey remember that whole thing about arming the Syrian opposition because it was very difficult to find non-jihadists so it would probably be a bad idea to give them stuff because blowback? Well, Assad is bad so nevermind, enemy of an enemy and let's do this.

Thank God the Reverand Al is here to bring his hot mid east foreign policy takes on MSNBC. You won't believe this, but he supports Obama and is saying nothing at all that makes sense.

He did kinda pronounce America like that, yes. I predict this speech being a big "win" for him.

Congress: OBAMA SHOULD BE IMPEACHED BECAUSE HE IS A SOCIALIST MADMAN BECAUSE OBAMACARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Congress: Want to go to war Obama? Cool with us. Whatever.

My office mate wanted to bet me money that this would happen

All of this is happening because Fox News has fear mongered the idiots. The Royals will win the WS before ISIS touches America.

Spracne · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2014, 08:31:30 PM »

Just asked a few folks, none of us has seen ISIS today. However, a plane did crash here in Austin on the eve of 9/11

Al Sharpton helpfully tells Chris he is comparing the airstrikes in Yemen and Somalia, not the *results* of those airstrikes. BRILLIANT!!

I cannot wait for the day that Al Sharpton is no longer taking his dumb ass on tv.

Politicians are all pretty much exactly the same. To put any hope in a presidential candidate is foolishness. McCain or Romney's USA would look basically identical to Obama's.

Did not hear speech cause royals, but I agree with Kat Kid

I'm sure these bombings will go off without a hitch and we'll hit exactly, and ONLY, what we mean to hit and won't kill any kids or anything and certainly won't increase American dissidence in the region thereby fostering the next generation of terrorists!
