[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"[b]The United States has been successful in containing the momentum of ISIS[/b], but more needs to be done to “completely decapitate” their operations, President Obama said in an exclusive interview with ABC News’ Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos.

“I don't think they're gaining strength,” the president told Stephanopoulos in an interview at the White House Thursday. [b]“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 it -- they'll come in, they'll leave[/b].

"But you don't see this systematic march by ISIL across the terrain," he added, using the government's acronym for ISIS.

“What we have not yet been able to do is to completely decapitate their command and control structures. We've made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters,” Obama said. “Part of our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense [b]rather than simply engage in defense[/b].”

Wow.  I hadn't realized our strategy was simply defense.  Oh God. It's worse than I thought.

Hmm, yes.  We have not gone all out against ISIS. Nor should we have.[/quote]

Loyalty is a beautiful thing.[/quote]
