Obama: U.S. will be relentless with Islamic State after Beheading.....

Rumor has it that the Admin's main focus will be utilizing the FBI to find these guys. Not the best approach IMHO. FBI is good when they have a controlled environment. That region is anything but controlled. This is best suited for military/intelligence.

President Barack Obama on Wednesday vowed that the United States will not be swayed from airstrikes against Islamic State after the group beheaded an American journalist, an act he said is proof that the militants stand for no religion. "The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what's necessary to see that justice is done," he said.

He said militants have rampaged across cities and villages, abducted women and children and subjected them to torture and rape and killed Muslims, both Sunni and Shia, by the thousands."No just God would stand for what they did yesterday and what they do every single day," he said. "Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim, out of expediency, that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is, they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior," Obama said.....snip~

Heya Fishstyx. :2wave: Well he did say Justice.....and sending the FBI didn't do so well in Libya. So lets hope he isn't thinking about any Judicial Process.

Heya Beaudreaux :2wave: Agreed there.....Air Power will just push them around and now we have to be concerned due to the ManPads and Anti Air they have amassed.

At least Assad has been bombing Their HQ and their Operations inside Syria for the last 3 days.

First, I said in June -- as the terrorist group ISIL began an advance across Iraq -- that the United States would be prepared to take targeted military action in Iraq if and when we determined that the situation required it. In recent days, these terrorists have continued to move across Iraq, and have neared the city of Erbil, where American diplomats and civilians serve at our consulate and American military personnel advise Iraqi forces.

To stop the advance on Erbil, I’ve directed our military to take targeted strikes against ISIL terrorist convoys should they move toward the city. We intend to stay vigilant, and take action if these terrorist forces threaten our personnel or facilities anywhere in Iraq, including our consulate in Erbil and our embassy in Baghdad. We’re also providing urgent assistance to Iraqi government and Kurdish forces so they can more effectively wage the fight against ISIL.

"Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of Jim Foley by the terrorist group, ISIL."

"The people of Iraq, who with our support are taking the fight to ISIL, must continue coming together to expel these terrorists from their communities[/I]."

"This is the progress that needs to continue in order to reverse the momentum of the terrorists who prey on Iraq’s divisions."

"The people of Syria, whose story Jim Foley told, do not deserve to live under the shadow of a tyrant or terrorists."

"We must define our effort not as a boundless 'Global War on Terror,' but rather as a series of persistent, targeted efforts to dismantle specific networks of violent extremists that threaten America," Obama said.

Actually, as an amendment to my earlier post, he used the term today as well. Like, in the first sentence:

Heya Jango. :2wave: Well he does have to take a harder stance now.....especially after the Pope and Rome said ISIS needs to be stopped. How would he look if he didn't?

MMC said:

Yeah I read the OP.....but notice how that wasn't what is in the OP.....so did you want to say I was suppose to read his mind? Or that I was suppose to run around and check each and every article that's up with what was reported? Or that I was first to check with the WH Site before throwing up what Reuters reporter.

Now hows your reading comprehension? Did you have trouble with the Reuters Piece I have up?

Care to show where that is in the Report? Oh wait.....let me guess. You never even read the OP.....huh? Hows your thought construct working now? :lamo

You could just go to the actual statement before making a claim as to what was not included in the statement, instead of just skimming headlines :shrug:
