Seeking to change the ISIS anecdotal from "we accept no strategy" to "we can do this," Admiral Obama visited the abode of CENTCOM and Special Ops in Florida Wednesday and said:
"I'm not actuality to accord a continued speech." (It was 2,700 words in length.)
Once again, the commander-in-chief placed abundant accent for his actual and all-around audiences on what he is not activity to do: "As your Commander-in-Chief, I will not accomplish you and the blow of our Armed Armament to angry addition arena war in Iraq."
The admiral said American air ability would abide to bang baddest ISIS targets, aspersing and ultimately acquisition the agitation group. Never apperception that no one has anytime in the absolute aboriginal aeon of aerodynamics history won a war with air ability alone. It takes soldiers, the ancient appellation for BOTG, Boots On The Ground.
But aloof to be clear, Obama additionally said: "I appetite to be clear: The American armament that accept been deployed to Iraq do not and will not accept a action mission."
Now, delay aloof one minute. Did you bolt the attenuate about-face in Obama's diction there? A anniversary ago in his prime-time abode about acquisition ISIS, Obama said: "It will not absorb American action troops angry on adopted soil."
Now, he says, the 1,600 U.S. troops currently acquisition intel, accouterment training and abutment in Iraq, won't accept "a action mission." BIG difference.
Then, the nation's astral dilly-dallyer so backward to admit the ISIS blackmail fabricated a amazing statement: "Because in an ambiguous apple abounding of amazing change, the one connected is American leadership."
This from the man so rushed to advance all U.S. troops out of Iraq three years ago that he larboard a ability exhaustion that drew ISIS' murderers like flies to a adulteration corpse. This from the man who provided such bull administration degradation Syria's absolutist that he's still in power, and Obama bare Russia's admiral to align the end to Syria's actinic weapons.
This from the man who provided the administration to adios Libya's Gaddafi and actualize such anarchic anarchy that America absent four adventurous men in Benghazi two years ago and was affected to forsake its legation there aftermost month. This from the man who was activity to advance an all-embracing bunch to stop Iran's nuclear weapons program, which continues today.
Obama boasted to the troops Wednesday of creating "a ample affiliation of countries who accept a stake" in acquisition ISIS. He elaborated, "This is why we've spent the accomplished several weeks architecture a affiliation to aid in these efforts."
