There seems to be a trend in people underestimating the threat that ISIS poses to the American people. According to Obama’s various speeches over the past several months, our president has single handedly defeated ISIS nearly ten times. They must not have gotten the memo. Perhaps it’s because he doesn’t see them for the very real threat they are, which would explain why he failed to mention the ten soldiers being held captive in Iran during his State of the Union address and instead chose to focus on problems his administration created, such as inequality, climate change and an economy he continues to douse in gasoline.
His sentiments were echoed by Bernie Sanders, who claimed that President Obama chose not to mention the Navy sailors being held hostage because he wanted to talk about things that were “important” and will “impact this country for decades to come.” Good thinking Bernie, because foreign policy doesn’t matter one bit, ISIS will leave us alone if we pretend they don’t exist . . . not. You can watch Bernie pretending to be a politician in the video below.
Watch Bernie’s interview on the next page:
Michael Buckner that is all a load of c**p. We make children put their hands on their heads after an active shooter. If you don’t know why we are running regular patrols in the Persian Gulf then you live an incredibly sheltered life. And if an Iranian combat patrol washed up in the Hudson Bay we would detain them and we would have them disarm and put their hands on their heads. It is SOP when dealing with an armed, trained threat and it lowers the chances of an accidental escalation. The rest of your nonsense is just thrashing around looking for some excuse to trash the President of the United States.
A reasoned adult with an actual interest in public policy or foreogn relations would have a firm idea of what constitutes a good outcome versus a bad one. And when our military coming home safe in less than a day isn’t your idea of a good outcome I start to wonder just how much you hate the men and women who serve.
What? Bernie is smoking something!
Such hypocrisy! Bernie, how about you empty your bank account to come down to the average American? How about if you are elected you take an average American salary? You and Clinton talk about income equality and you are both rich! Put your money where you mouth is or shut up!
Michael you are truly brainwashed our president has been doing everything in his power to help Iran a sponsor of terrorism they support Hama’s also they have broken every rule including the two Missler launch test within the last month they just humiliated our navy by making them apologize & broadcasting them on TV & now our president wants to drop sanctions against these tyrants how can you support an anti American president who has not followed the constitution that we took an oath to support? When a president is responsible for all the chaos in the middle east & the downsizing of our military & the largest debt in American history how could you or anyone with basic intelligence support this man?
Someone with basic intelligence would have an answer for my straightforward question rather than regurgitating talking points from the anti American radical right.
