U.S. Intelligence Report on ISIS … ISIS is not Contained
Did we really need a U.S Intelligence Report on ISIS to tell us that Barack Obama’s efforts against ISIS have been a failure and that the terror group was not contained?
A new U.S. intelligence report on ISIS, commissioned by the White House, predicts that the self-proclaimed Islamic State will spread worldwide and grow in numbers, unless it suffers a significant loss of territory on the battlefield in Iraq and Syria, U.S. officials told The Daily Beast.
The report stands in stark contrast to earlier White House assurances that ISIS had been “contained” in Iraq and Syria. And it is already spurring changes in how the U.S. grapples with ISIS, these officials said.
It’s also a tacit admission that coalition efforts so far—dropping thousands of bombs and deploying 3,500 U.S. troops as well as other coalition trainers—have been outpaced by ISIS’s ability to expand and attract new followers, even as the yearlong coalition air campaign has helped local forces drive ISIS out of parts of Iraq and Syria.

Donald Trump Reacts to Barack Obama’s Prime Time Speech on Terrorism and Defeating ISIS … “We Need a New President Fast”
“We Need a New President Fast” …
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was live tweeting Barack Obama’s prime time speech to America last night on terrorism and how we are going to defeat ISIS. It would appear that Trump was just tweeting what many Americans were thinking after watching the failed and tired same old, same old speech.
GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said late Sunday that a new leader is needed to defeat the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“Is that all there is?” Trump asked after President Obama addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Sunday night. “We need a new president – fast!”
“Well, Obama refused to say (he just can’t say it) that we are at war with radical Islamic terrorists,” Trump continued.
“Wish Obama would say ISIS, like almost everyone else, rather than ISIL,” he added, citing Obama’s use of the administration’s preferred acronym for the terrorist group.
And there was more …
UPDATE I: GOP Candidates Bash Obama Speech.
- Carly Fiorina also posted on Twitter after Obama’s speech: “Vintage Obama: No strategy, no leadership. Politics as usual.” She also included a video discussing her plan to defeat ISIS.
- Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) joined Fox News following Obama’s address and told host Bret Baier, “This is a president that called [ISIS] the JV when they first emerged.”
He said Obama “called the attacks in Paris a ‘setback,’” adding that after the Paris attack, Obama only showed emotion toward attacking the GOP candidates pushing to stop the Syrian refugee resettlement program.
“We continue to conduct very limited air assaults,” Rubio added, saying ISIS won’t be defeated only with air assaults.
Rubio also said gun control wouldn’t have prevented the attack in San Bernardino, California
- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) released a statement prior to Obama’s address this evening.
The reality is that what President Obama, Secretary Kerry and Hillary Clinton have done has not worked. Their policies have in fact made the world more dangerous. It is time for a dramatic shift in both foreign and national security policy. Tonight when President Obama addresses the nation, I hope that he will acknowledge and take responsibility for the failed policies of his administration and will take concrete steps to reverse the damage done.

Barack Obama’s Oval Office Address to the Nation on his Plan to Defeat ISIS and Terrorism … Just Bad Reheated Leftovers with a Dash of Gun Control
A FAILED PLAN FROM A FAILED PRESIDENT: Barack Obama’s 4 point plan can be summed up in four letters … J – O – K – E
Are you kidding me, that is why Barack Obama had a prime time address to the United States? Talk about 14 minutes that we will never get back. Last night Obama provided a four point plan that sounded an awful lot like the plain that he already had in place. This was nothing more than a defense of his failed policies on ISIS. Oh but wait, he made sure to use the San Bernardino terror attack to call for more gun control. It was nothing more than to reassure Americans of his previous four point plan that has done nothing to contain ISIS. In typical Obama leaderless fashion, Obama spent more time on what we shouldn’t do, rather than discussing what we should do. However, what Obama made sure to do was to make a connection between national security and the need for gun control following America’s latest mass shooting. Really Mr President, what about the pipe bombs and the fact that law enforcement stated that the terrorists garage in San Bernardino was a bomb factory?
And of course Barack Obama was sure to mention Islamophobia as is with all the acts of violence that have taken place in the United States and its citizens slaughtered both here and abroad that Americans have targeted Muslims. Unlike the Democrats hero FDR who rounded up the Japanese and put them in internment camps.
Obama: Increasing Gun Control, Rejecting Islamophobia Are Key to Combating Terrorism.
“I know that after so much war, many Americans are asking whether we are confronted by a cancer that has no immediate cure,” Obama said. But he expressed confidence that the country can “overcome” the threat. “The threat from terrorism is real, but we will overcome it,” Obama said. “Our defence won’t depend on tough talk,” he added. “Instead we will prevail by being stronger and smarter.”
Obama was particularly forceful on speaking up against Islamophobia. He noted that, yes, Muslim leaders have a responsibility to push back against hateful rhetoric and “speak out against not just acts of violence, but also those interpretations of Islam that are incompatible with the values of religious tolerance, mutual respect, and human dignity.” But Americans “of every faith” must also “reject discrimination.” As part of an impassioned plea against discrimination, Obama criticized those who have suggested those from certain religions should get priority to be accepted as refugees.
UPDATE I: If it is such common sense to have people on the “No Fly” list be able to buy guns … why was the late Massachusetts Senator and Democrat presidential candidate Ted Kennedy on the no fly list? So Obama are you saying that he should not have been able to but a gun, if he were still alive?

GOP Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz Says … I Will Rebuild Our Military, Kill the Terrorists & Never Apologize For America
IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE WITH A PRESIDENT WHO ACTUALLY WANTED TO PROTECT AMERICA AND KILL TERRORISTS?
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and GOP Presidential candidate rolled out a a series of TV ads in Iowa on Saturday, taking aim at the the incompetence and weak handed approach of dealing with terrorism by both Barack Hussein Obama and former Secretary of State under Obama, Democrat front runner for the party nomination, Hillary Clinton.
“Under Presidential Obama and Secretary Clinton, the world is more dangerous and America is less safe
If I’m elected to serve as Commander-in-Chief, we won’t cower in the face of evil. America will lead. We’ll rebuild our military. We’ll kill the terrorists. And every Islamic militant will know, if you wage jihad against us, you’re signing your death warrant. And under no circumstances will I ever apologize for America.”
The ad is particularly timely as law enforcement is investigating Wednesday’s San Bernardino, Calif., shootings as an act of terrorism.
Cruz and rival presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) have recently exchanged national security jabs after Cruz supported a National Security Agency reform bill this year, which is touted by privacy advocates but opposed by some Republicans who believe it will weaken U.S. intelligence activities.
Cruz also debuted a second ad touting an endorsement from Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).
Ahead of the Iowa caucuses in February, Cruz ranks third in GOP presidential polls in the Hawkeye State, trailing Donald Trump and Ben Carson.
UNREAL … Barack Hussein Obama Says of Mass San Bernardino Shootings by Two Radicalized Islamists … “It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don’t know, It’s also possible this was workplace-related”. (VIDEO)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME, THIS MAN TRULY EITHER HAS A MENTAL DEFICIENCY OR A HIDEOUS AGENDA … WHY CAN’T BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA JUST SAY ITS TERRORISM?
When you have a president who cannot even see or admit to terrorism when it smacks him in the face, Houston, we have a problem …
It is unbelievable that this president can not just call terrorism, terrorism. During a presser seen below, Barack Hussein Obama refused to call this for what it was, radical Islamic terrorism as he stated, “It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don’t know. It’s also possible this was workplace-related.” REALLY? Hmm, so an act of workplace violence consists of body armor, GoPro cameras, an apartment that was said by authorities to be a bomb making factory and an stockpile of guns an ammunition to arm those right wing extremists you are so found of calling domestic terrorists.
A duh, well it could be workplace violence and ah, duh, maybe it was Republicans …
No Barack, your first order of business was to demand more gun control and it was Democrats that said, it was not to offer prayers to the families. Do you might want to get your talking points straight next time. How sad is it that we have a president that is so quick to rush to judgement and call certain actions racist with no facts whatsoever, but when it comes to obvious acts of terrorism, he is cautious and plodding? At this point, when it comes to the safety of Americans and this president fails to recognize the obvious … one has to say he is derelict in his duty as President of the United States.
President Obama sought to assure Americans that investigators will get to the bottom of the San Bernardino shootings, even as he noted that investigators know little about what motivated the shooting spree that killed 14 people and injured at least 17.
“It is possible that this is terrorist-related, but we don’t know. It’s also possible this was workplace-related,” he said. “There may be mixed motives in all this, which makes the investigation more complicated. But rest assured, we will get to the bottom of this.”
Obama noted that the attackers were “equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes, but we don’t know why they did it.”
