ANTALYA, Turkey (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday conceded that the Paris terror attacks were a "terrible and sickening setback" in the fight against the Islamic State, but forcefully dismissed critics who have called for the U.S. to change or expand its military campaign against the extremists.

"The strategy that we are putting forward is the strategy that is ultimately is going to work," Obama said during a news conference at the close of two days of talks with world leaders. "It's going to take time."

I thought his press conference was excellent. He hit the nail on the head, without giving too much information away.

The terror is not just ISIS, BTW. It's all islamic jihadists. Isis is just one group.

They are all over the world. Not just in Syria. Apparently they are in France. Here, too. It's an ideology, so it's hard to say who believes a certain way.
 
So I take it OP wants Obama to "talk tough," because that's strong and manly.

Same bitching and moaning for 7 goddamn years.

From the BP Oil Spill to present, some people will never be happy with a goddamn thing the man says, he could rescue them from a burning building and they'd say "WHAT ABOUT MY TV, THANKS OBAMA!!!".

It's going to take time to formulate a strategy? What the heck has he been doing for seven years?
