Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” President Barack Obama seemingly downplayed the threat of ISIS in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that aired on Friday’s broadcast of “Good Morning America.”
Stephanopoulos asked Obama if ISIS was gaining in strength, to which Obama denied they were.
“I don’t think they’re gaining strength,” Obama responded. “What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. They have not gained ground in Iraq, and in Syria they’ll come in, they’ll leave, but you don’t see this systemic march by ISIL across the terrain.”
“What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures,” he admitted. “We’ve made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters and part our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense.” http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/11/13/obama-isis-is-not-getting-stronger-we-have-contained-them/

OMG after what just happened in France I think the world needs to finally rise up and take care of these murderers!!!!!!! I don't care if some Muslims are offended if I say that these despicable excuses for humans are wiped from the face of the Earth.

Yeah, and we all need to be ready now, before anything more happens. And when I say "we" I mean "us citizens" don't wait around for the Gov't. Be vigilant, watch for packages or what you may think is trash left outside a building, some one walking quickly away from a building, subway, arm yourself if possible, etc.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
Obama wants to import 10000 Syrians. Funny how our leaders protect themselves with guns
Who are running from extremists. Like. .. ISIS.
And we can see very clearly why they want to run.
And, you know that HOW? We have laws regarding LEGAL immigration. We don't need any more people skirting by our laws. The flood gates have been opened up for Mexican criminals. People are dying HERE. Everyday. By crimes committed by illegals.
At least France has the balls to call an Act of War an actual Act of War. Unlike our whiny wuss POTUS who hems and haws and tries to lead from behind. We should seal our borders NOW. If you don't support that, then you are supporting the upcoming slaughter that will happen here.
At least one of the terrorists was a Syrian refugee. They just want people to think they are running from ISIS. And it looks like its working with some of the comments on this board...

And killing innocent civilians will accomplish what?
We carpet bombed Dresden and much of Berlin, taking out the German manufacturing ability --- along with a lot of civilians.
The Germans gave up, the cost of continuing to fight us was too high.
We blew up two major cities in Japan ... and the Japanese gave up, the cost of continuing was too high, and their hope of beating us dropped to zero.
Then we become just like ISIS - killing the innocent.
The civilians are not stopping them, we have to be the baddest bully on the playground to get them to stop. They happily blow up and shoot our civilians, we have to be even more aggressive.
All these ISIS evil-doers need to be taken out one by one, by snipers.
Good luck with that, we don't have enough snipers, and we can't identify many of the targets. Then when we DO, people complain because we're using drones. We have to stop apologizing for collateral damage.

Funny how he can't wait to jump in and accuse the Police or Americans or Republicans of all kinds of things without even knowing facts. He had no problem weighing in immediately on Trayvon Martin, the Cambridge Police and anything Republicans, Christians, or anyone else does. But, he can't have the words MUSLIM TERRORIST come out of his mouth. Just a "Man caused disaster", that's all.
