RSSNBC/WSJ Poll: Large Majority of Americans Support Barack Obama Mission to Destroy ISIS, But Have No Confidence That He Can Do So
THIS IS WHY YOU NEVER ELECT, LET ALONE REELECT A COMMUNITY AGITATOR TO BE PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF … A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE.
It is a sad state of affairs in the White House these days and the people have lost confidence in President Barack Obama. In the most recent NBC/WSJ poll, although 62% of voters say that they support Obama’s decision to take action against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, however, even more, 68%, say they have little to some confidence that he can reach his goals of degrading and eliminating ISIS. Sadly, that seems to be Obama’s own opinion as well with his mixed messages and a plan that counts on premises that he was against just months ago.
It is hard to win a war on terror when you cannot even bring yourself to say it.
Nearly 70 percent of Americans say they lack confidence that the U.S. will achieve its goals in fighting the terrorist group ISIS, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Annenberg poll. The findings come in the wake of President Barack Obama’s national address announcing new measures to combat the Sunni militants.
Pressure is mounting on the U.S. and its allies to cripple the militants, who have waged a brutal campaign across Syria and Iraq. ISIS already has beheaded two American journalists and on Saturday released a video showing the execution of a third Westerner, British aid worker David Haines.
The poll – conducted before the latest execution emerged – showed that a combined 68 percent of Americans say they have “very little” or “just some” confidence that Obama’s goals of degrading and eliminating the threat posed by ISIS will be achieved. Just 28 percent said they had “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of confidence. Still, 62 percent of voters say they support Obama’s decision to take action against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, while 22 percent oppose it.
The NBC/WSJ poll also shows that just 38% of voters approve of Obama’s job in handling foreign policy.Which is actually higher than the most recent FOX News poll that has Obama’s approval rating in dealing with foreign police at 34% approve and 59% disapprove.

DEFINE THE ENEMY!!!
ALLEN WEST – FEBRUARY, 2010
“This is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says. In other words, Islamism is not our problem; radical Islam is not our problem; extremist Islam is not our problem. Our problem is Islam itself. Until you get principled leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail, because we will never clearly define who this enemy is, and then understand their goals and objectives — which are on any jihadist website — and then come up with the right and proper objectives to not only secure our Republic but secure Western civilization.”

Cameron’s words regarding Islam reflects both Bush and Obama. They all zero in on the terrorists while bowing to Islam by not identifying the ideology as the enemy.
DAVID CAMERON – SEPTEMBER 14, 2014
David Cameron statement on killing
14 September 2014
” … They are killing and slaughtering thousands of people – Christians, Muslims, minorities across Iraq and Syria. They boast of their brutality. They claim to do this in the name of Islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not Muslims, they are monsters. …”

BARACK OBAMA – SEPTEMBER 11, 2014
Strong reaction to Obama statement: ‘ISIL is not Islamic’
September 11, 2014
In full context, here’s what Obama said in his prime-time speech Wednesday night:
“ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’ No religion condones the killing of innocents, and the vast majority of ISIL’s victims have been Muslim. And ISIL is certainly not a state; it was formerly al Qaeda’s affiliate in Iraq and has taken advantage of sectarian strife and Syria’s civil war to gain territory on both sides of the Iraq-Syrian border. It is recognized by no government nor by the people it subjugates.”
“ISIL is a terrorist organization, pure and simple, and it has no vision other than the slaughter of all who stand in its way.”

PRESIDENT OBAMA – SEPTEMBER 11, 2010
US Not at War with Islam, Obama says
September 11, 2010
He said Americans “are not — and never will be — at war with Islam. It was not a religion that attacked us that September day. It was al Qaeda, a sorry band of men which perverts religion.”

PRESIDENT BUSH – SEPTEMBER 17, 2001
“Islam is Peace” Says President

What is wrong with this picture? Apparently ….
1. The Syrian rebels do not consider ISIS the enemy and have therefore signed an non-aggression pact (cease-fire) with ISIS.
2. Obama wants to arm the Syrian rebels.
3. The GOP-led Congress is about to approve the plan.
What am I not getting? What are the implications It appears to be an indirect method of arming ISIS?

SEPT 12/14 – SYRIA REBELS’ AND ISIS’ NON-AGGRESSION PACT
Syria rebels, ISIS in ‘non-aggression’ pact near Damascus
September 12, 2014
BEIRUT: Syrian rebels and ISIS jihadists have agreed a non-aggression pact for the first time in a suburb of the capital Damascus, an activist group said Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the cease-fire deal was agreed between ISIS and moderate and Islamist rebels in Hajar al-Aswad, south of the capital.
Under the deal, “the two parties will respect a truce until a final solution is found and they promise not to attack each other because they consider the principal enemy to be the Nussayri regime.”

SEPT 14/14 – WHITE HOUSE PROPOSES ARMING SYRIAN REBELS
White House presses Congress to vote now on arming Syrian rebels
September 14, 2014
The White House on Sunday put pressure on Congress to vote this week in favor of training and arming Syrian rebels as part of President Obama’s plan to destroy the Islamic State, making clear that sending U.S. combat troops is not an option.
“If it’s not the Syrian opposition, trained and equipped by the United States, authorized by Congress and the president … then it’ll have to be U.S. troops,” White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough told “Fox News Sunday.” “The president made a decision on that. We’re not going to do that.”
The GOP-led House appears most ready to approve the plan.

Who the hell does he think osama bin laden was? This is a sorry excuse for a President, a leader, Commander in Chief, a dangerous monster. obama is not a Christian. Neither is brother malik obama. Get this evil mongrel out of the White House. He should already be in prison for releasing the worlds most dangerous terrorists.
You don’t listen to rev wright’s preaching on hate America if you didn’t believe in it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For over 25 years!!!!
[...] So why no use of the word war and by not using the word war to avoid a war vote in an election year? Is Obama politicizing the “counter-terrorism” efforts against ISIS. No, never. And we wonder why Americans support a strategy to rid the world of ISIS, but have no confidence in Obama to do it. [...]
The entire concept of Islam is based on power and control of all peoples in the world. This is a cult of hate that will use any and all means to achieve their goals.
The only way for the civilized world to overcome this polyglot of crazies is to destroy them all by using every type of restraint available. This includes removal of all mosques, military means, financial means and any other tools found useful for their destruction.
