Warren and Biden Break Away from Obama's Nuance ISIS Strategy

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Wednesday said that the Obama administration should make defeating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) its top priority."
"ISIS is growing in strength. It has money, it has organization, it has the capacity to inflict real damage. So when we think about a response we have to think about how to destroy that," Warren told Yahoo's Katie Couric.

Warren agreed that "time is of the essence."
Warren is rumored to be running for president.
"We need to be working now, full-speed ahead, with other countries, to destroy ISIS. That should be our No. 1 priority," she said in a wide-ranging interview promoting her latest book, A Fighting Chance.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden tried to deliver the speech that was expected of his boss the President of the United States.
Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday delivered a fiery response to the killing of American journalist Steven Sotloff, telling Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants that the U.S. will “follow them to the gates of hell.”

“[W]hen people harm Americans, we don’t retreat. We don’t forget,” Biden said during a speech in New Hampshire. “We take care of those who are grieving, and when that’s finished, they should know, we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Because hell is where they will reside. Hell is where they will reside.”

I get the feeling that a lot of people in the Democrat party are getting pissed at Obama over his dithering.

With Warren on the warpath and Kerry and Biden going off message you have to wonder what it will take to get the cowardly bastard to do his job.

A couple of principled resignations might help.

Warren wants to destroy "that." Notice she didn't say ISIS. She said that, meaning ISIS's capacity to project death and destruction. Slimy bitch will no more go after ISIS itself and EXPUNGE it than any other of her fellow lefty nuancers.

Campaign Time!
All gung ho rah rah America when they want your vote. Where was all this fervor, um, last week?
Last week (month) was Vacation Time. For years prior to that it was Toeing the Party Line Time. Once elected, it will be CYA Time followed by Legacy Time.

Amartel said...

"Nuance ISIS Strategy" = Legacy Time.

Amartel said...

To paraphrase the great Linda Richman, the nuance ISIS strategy is neither nuance nor strategy nor anything to do with ISIS. Discuss!

The Dude said...

They are merely mouthing words - talk is cheap - let me know when one of those traitorous bastards lifts so much as a finger to do anything to halt the progress of their muzzie brethren.

They are on the same side. They have the same goals.

I'm thinking Obama's nuance approach is probably being reinforced by Colin Powell.

He has to be talking to somebody.

Trooper York said...

Clueless Joe is a lying sack of shit as usual. America is going to do what they did when our Ambassador was murdered in Benghazi and dragged through the streets. Jack shit.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Colin Powell is reported to have told Bush the pottery barn rule... "you break it you own it".

Obama's dithering is consistent with that.

In reality, Pottery Barn—the upscale home furnishing stores in the United States—does not have a "you break it, you bought it" policy, but instead writes off broken merchandise as a loss, as do most large American retailers. Wikipedia

Warren showed up on Letterman the other night. She must be ramping up a campaign.

The Dude said...

Look out - she's on the warpath!

Mmm, squaw look like white-eyes!

The Dude said...

Obama dithers because he does not want to appear too obviously on the side of ISIS. He has no concern about breaking anything, especially anything here in America.

How's your job hunt coming along, Lem - getting much competition from all the illegals that Obama allowed into Florida?

Drudge is reporting that Joan Rivers has died.

She had a good run.

Shouting Thomas said...

The Tarzan speech from Biden came out of the blue, didn't it?

The Dude said...

He must be off his anti-seizure meds.

Amartel said...

Crap, I thought she was going to pull out of it.
RIP, Joan Rivers.

The Dude said...

Yeah, I was looking forward to some jokes about her adventure, but I guess things took a turn for the worse.

Perhaps some day we will know what happened to her - for all we know she might have been brain-dead by the time she got to the hospital. Or, perhaps she was improving and then suddenly things just went bad. Even in the best of settings one cannot fend off the inevitable.

Michael Haz said...

What? Fauxcahontas is in favor of bombing? This is a stunner, since she generally runs further to the left than either Obama or Clinton.

Her comments, if true are a remarkable change in her direction, a slip-n-slide swoosh toward the middle of the political spectrum.

She's running.

Amartel said...

Oh, HAZ. You know perfectly well they say whatever they have to say to get elected. "Gates of hell," "take Amurka baaack" (previously 'racist,' now totally like patriotic and shit), Repulicans pull wimmenz back by their hair, hopenchange, ETC.

Obama ran as a moderate. Excuse me, a "moderate." Remember that? Thus, Hillary! was the hard-line wing nut in that primary.

Amartel said...

Fauxcahontas is in favor of Fauxcahontas winning.

With Warren on the warpath

One of the better lines I've heard today.

bagoh20 said...

Make your jokes if you must, but I happen to know that in a previous life she led a successful attack on the 7th Cavalry.

Shouting Thomas said...

The alarm bell went off the past couple of weeks, didn't it?

First, ISIS chopping heads, then Rotherham.

The Religion of Peace thing collapsed.

The Dude said...

Aw crap - I repeated the warpath quip. Not good.

I am pretty sure I saw her standing in front of a cigar store once, but that was years ago.

So, in an effort to redeem myself, here are some of the last lines in the script of Little Big Man:

Grandfather: My newest Snake wife cooks dog very well.

Jack Crabb: All right, Grandfather

GF: She also has a very soft skin. The only trouble with Snake women is they copulate with horses,...

...which makes them strange to me.

She says she doesn't. That's why I call her Doesn't Like Horses.

But, of course, she's lying.

JC: Of course, Grandfather.


So the question then becomes one of - is it too obscure or just incorrect to call her Liz "Doesn't Like Horses" Warren?

Dad Bones said...

I'll believe her when she cooks dog well enough that Obama will eat it.

Rabel said...

"Aw crap - I repeated the warpath quip. Not good."

My attorneys, Dewey, Cheetum and How, are preparing the DMCA Takedown Notice as we speak. How is handling this one.

With Warren on the warpath

With Warren as president we will laugh our way to hell on a handbag.

The Dude said...

Hell on a handbag - that must be a DR phrase - never heard it in English before.

Mike Brown played a clip of Elizabeth Warren yammering on about the left's "you didn't build that" theme. She was the original. Somehow, if you run a business, it is the rest of us who paid taxes, not you.
As a business owner, you did not contribute at all to the paved roads and and and... shame on you!

Screw her. She's just another lying twisted false reality 2-bit leftwing demagogue. and yes- an election is fast approaching and the left look like weak failures, because they are, so, right on cue: the false bravado.
