54. Don't worry we are Killing All the Bad Guys...But...this is Not our Fight Alone!
Wed Sep 10, 2014, 09:19 PM

We can't take the place of Iraqi's or other forces in the Region.. But, America will lead a Broad Coalition to Fight back

We will Degrade and Destroy ISIL with Iraqi Forces (the ones who caved) and we will TAKE THEM OUT IN SYRIA....

We will increase our support to those fighting on the Ground. The Teams have completed their work and we will keep sending forces to Train, Support Itelligence and other Operations ...but, they won't be Ground Troops but we need to Fund Them with (our tax dollars).

We must strengthen our Counter Terrorism Forces to Prevent ISIL Attacks. We will cut off their Funding...etc.

He will Convene the UN to Intervene...and he will protect the other Sects.

He says we have a BROAD COALITION of FORCES. (Where are they? Have they been shown bombing on CNN? I don't watch MSM) He says we Stand with People who Fight for their Own Freedom.

He says he has the Authority to do what he has to do to Fight ISIL but he Welcomes Support from Congress.

Says Risks to Service Men and Women but it WILL NOT INVOLVE "Forces on the Ground"...but just Air Strikes and "what we have on the ground" (CIA). BUT...we have PARTNERS.

WE LIVE IN A TIME OF GREAT CHANGE..AMERICANS......Despite these Shocks America is Better Positioned to Achieve with our Business and Stock Markets and the Rest all of it as a Result of American Leadership and Resources.

Then he Attacks Puntin and Russia over Ukraine as an enemy.

America has Endless Blessings and we Lead across the world ....Standing for Freedom, Justice and Dignity.

He asks for our Support and he does so as "Commander in Chief" and Praises our Military and gives Anecdotes of suffering Serviceperson..

We Make a Difference in the World because we are Upholding the Values that We Stand for after!

Broad American Leadership.

I couldn't click fast enough to get it all ...it's just what he said which most of our Presidents have Said in Times of War....Heard it from Bush on Back whenever USA does an Invasion or Action. ......It is what it is.

It was short, quick and whatever.
