How can Obama possibly defeat terrorism when he consistently denies its motivating and guiding ideology?
His repeated claims that the Islamic State can only be defeated if Assad is removed is based on the assumption that ISIS is not Islamic, and is just an opposition group to Assad, so that if Assad is gone, the Islamic State will vanish. Putin’s view is more realistic: he knows ISIS is Islamic, and claims to be the caliphate, and has global ambitions. He knows that if Assad falls, the Islamic State will be the main beneficiary.
As I explained here, Putin’s view is based on reality, Obama’s on fantasy. So Putin is leading the war on terror now.
“UN meeting: Obama chairs counter-terrorism summit,” BBC, September 29, 2015:
The US president is chairing a UN gathering of world leaders to discuss counter-terrorism, seeking support for the fight against Islamic State (IS).
Barack Obama said defeating the group in Syria would only be possible if President Bashar al-Assad stepped down.
Ahead of the meeting, the US said it was imposing new sanctions on IS figures aimed at cutting off their sources of financing.
The meeting is being held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Ahead of the counter-terrorism meeting, the US imposed sanctions and penalties on 35 individuals and groups, which include four British and three French citizens.
The terrorist designations cover a wide range of nationalities, meant to highlight the global nature of the IS threat, reports the BBC’s Barbara Plett Usher in New York.
Among them are four British nationals, including two women. One is Aqsa Mahmood, who is described as an IS recruiter and member of an IS female police unit; and Sally Jones, the wife of an IS hacker killed recently in a drone strike.
Russia, which is president of the UN Security Council for the month, will chair its own meeting on Wednesday on countering extremism.
On Tuesday, Russia criticised the US counter-terrorism summit at the United Nations, calling it disrespectful.
“This initiative seriously undermines UN efforts in this direction,” Russia’s UN envoy Vitaly Churkin was quoted as saying by Russian news agencies….

So now he’s gonna run a fake war resisting an enemy that officially doesn’t exist? Yeah. Who says that American prestige and influence is on the decline? It’s not like the UN makes a habit of stupid and silly appointments and programs, so this looks good. He should coordinate with his peers over at the UN Human Rights Committee, which I believe is run by the Saudis now.
I can’t wait to see what President Barack Hussein comes up with. Gonna be exciting.
Don McKellar says
The #1 name that should be on that list of IS supporters who should be sanctioned is … Barack Obama! Nobody — NOBODY has done more to support and enable the Islamic State than Barack Obama. His policies, actions, and inactions paved the way for their formation. He has covertly armed them through ridiculous “training” programs for a handful of people, that have wasted millions and millions of dollars, spent even more giving US arms to other groups who turned around and joined the Islamic State. He continues to try and fog over and obscure the motivations and ideology of the Islamic State, outright lying about it whenever he has to, because he KNOWS that the MSM and Washington establishment will NOT counter him on it with facts and call a spade a spade. It is Barack Obama who should be the FIRST NAME on that list of individuals sanctioned. And yet, in another one of the bizarre topsy-turvy the Moon is made of green cheese moments of our age, somehow the Muslim Brotherhood’s #1 cheerleader is chairing the summit on anti-terrorism! As mind-bending Twilight Zone as Saudi Arabia being named to a council on human rights! Obama could probably just start cutting off peoples heads in the street and he’d get away with it.

You are selling Prez Barack Hussein short here. Why no mention of his alliance with the Mo-Bro-Hood, which was solid on the ground and deepened by having Huma Abedin at the upper echelons of State, where on an illegal email system so wide open to hacking that the foreign affairs depts of our allies refused to use email with State. Better yet, Hillary was at the pinnacle of State, and she supports making criticism of religions a felony crime.
Let’s give Hussein the respect he has earned.
Jay Boo says
The Obama way to defeat ISIS is very simple.
Using Obama/Hillary logic and through the power of euphemism, we just rename ISIS in the very same way that the Obama/Hillary regime renamed the Muslim Brotherhood and Boko Hama as not terrorist organizations thereby rendering them completely harmless.
Problem solved
Ed says
Barrck Hussain counterterrorism in the UN is like Saudi Arabia Human Rights in the UN.
Cecilia Ellis says
Obama chairing a counter-terrorism summit at the UN is akin to Colonel Sanders chairing a Joint-Chiefs-of-Staff meeting at the Pentagon.

“Vladimir Putin has outfoxed Barack Obama again.”

One who wishes the beast to succeed will not be targeting the beast. The *chairman* wishes the beast to succeed. The *chairman* denies that there is a beast.
A fulfillment of prophecy.

Jaladhi says
A stealth jihadi does what he does best denying authentic Muslims as Muslims for following Islam to a tee!! Islamic taqiyya at play here and using the same arguments he will say Mohammad was not a Muslim!
DeMolay says
Great point. Obama logic would say that Mohammed’s actions in the Qur’an had ‘nothing to do with Islam’.
Laughable !
mortimer says
Islam has NOTHING…NOTHING to do with Islam.
(Don’t laugh.)

Islam…nothing….Islam….nothing…Islam….nothing…………
…..eventually disappearing up its own minaret. What a splendid thought!

I usually try to make measured, well thought out comments here–but what first strikes me is that the vision of Obama in an FBI cap just makes me want to hurl.

gravenimage, I have several other meanings for FBI when that freak is wears that hat.

Good choice to use a photo of Prez Barack wearing an FBI hat. Director Comey and Atty Genl Lynch are now in the throes of having to execute a cover up of a number of felony crimes, some involving Moslems. And what could possibly be more phony than the UN, which has devolved into a U.S. taxpayer funded Islamic front organization. Maybe Obama can bring in Eric Holder, Rev Al and Rev Jeremiah Wright to work on the particulars of the counterterrorism summit. Oh, and for ideological balance he should bring in Rev Louis Farrakhan too.
Angemon says
Of course – in order to defeat a terrorist group we need to give them what they want. Wait, did I say defeat? Silly me, I meant “surrender to”, which in turn would ensure they would come up with even more demands.
But let’s suppose sheik Hussein is correct – Assad stepping down covers Syria. How about Iraq? ISIS stands dor Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Right, because it’s easy to cut off financing sources for an organization that deals in black markets! Genius! Bah, I’ll be happy if the US stops giving them aid, directly or indirectly – talk about low expectations…
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It might make sense to send a strongly worded letter to Recep Erdogan asking that Turkey cease and desist from transshipping all that oil from Mosul and thereabouts to the world market. After the Turko-Moslems take their cut, the rest goes to Caliph Ibrahim to finance his mass murder and sex slavery operations. It would be a big risk, Recep might get angry and he leads a NATO ally nation, but a strongly worded letter might do the trick. Given that Barack Hussein is a self-proclaimed genius, he should compose the strongly worded letter himself, it’s too important a job to leave to a mere White House aide.
somehistory says
Did you read the Agenda 2030? The U.N. has said in that very long document that it will end mistreatment of women and girls (all of them, including inequality of employment and education). that it will put and end to terrorism, bring in peace, freedom of religion and establish security in food, housing, etc. 17 lofty goals, and 169 points explaining those goals.
How will they do any of that while islam is allowed to stand? Unless they use the meanings that islam assigns to those words.

I don’t know, APF – Erdogan strikes as as the type of devout muslim who uses rocks to wipe his tailpipe. What need does he have for paper?
mortimer says
Obama’s Pollyanna-ish OVEROPTIMISM about Islam makes Americans look TERRIBLY gullible. Most Americans, however, are NOT GULLIBLE about Islam and resent Obama telling them ‘NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT’.
Along with the British, German and French politicians who all speak from WISHFUL THINKING about Islam he is now a suitable leader for this self-deluded pack of OSTRICHES!
Our politicians should stop lying to us about Islam.
mortimer says
Obama cannot possibly defeat terrorism when he consistently denies THE JIHAD DOCTRINE which he has not even bothered to learn.
Bezelel says
obola’s insistence that Assad go is too similar to the tactics he’s been using on immigration.He refuses to do anything and tries to stop anyone else who tries.
dlbrand says
“Obama chairs counter-terrorism summit at UN,” should read, “Clown in Chief chairs counter-terrorism summit at UN.”
Kasey says
There’s far more chance of quickly defeating ISIS if Obama steps down!
