CNN: Obama: U.S. safe against ISIS attack
Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama said in an interview that aired Thursday that he is confident the U.S. is safe from a Paris-style attack from ISIS and that American law enforcement is well equipped to protect the nation during the holidays.
"ISIL will not pose an existential threat to us. They are a dangerous organization like al Qaeda was, but we have hardened our defenses," Obama told CBS. "The American people should feel confident that, you know, we are going to be able to defend ourselves and make sure that, you know, we have a good holiday and go about our lives."
His comments came amid reports that the FBI is investigating ISIS sympathizers across the nation and a new study shows support for the terrorist group has reached unprecedented levels domestically. But Obama called for calm and said that terrorists and ISIS "only win if we start reacting out of fear."
WNU Editor: The Islamic State is not an existential threat against the U.S. .... but they are a threat. This is one of those cases where I hope that President Obama's words do not come back to haunt him.
Lier didn't he say something like before the pairs attack he hasn't got a clue
ReplyDeleteActually ISIS does pose an existential threat to America. With that said the threats posed by Russia and China the world's strongest military powers is far greater than the threat posed by ISIS. Currently the United States faces a greater conflagration of enemies of extreme power arrayed against it than any nation or civilization in the history of the world. For POTUS to suggest we are somehow "safe" is beyond delusional. This man and his advisors belong in an insane asylum.
