…It is obvious, of course, that any assault on an American civilian cannot be left unpunished. We will take any means at our disposal to make sure that those responsible for the death of James Foley will pay for it.
Speaking more broadly, the civilized world is convinced that the barbarous fanatics who by force and terror have established their domination in large parts of Iraq and Syria are so absurdly out of touch with the realities of life in their regions that they will most certainly be swept out of power in the foreseeable future by the people who have had to yield to them. All we outsiders need, while waiting for these developments to run their course, is patience.
I, your Commander-in-Chief, am no pacifist. I have demonstrated on a number of occasions that I do not shrink back from the use of force when necessary. And, indeed, our strategy of curbing the excesses of ISIS by the use of bombing in recent weeks has proven to be highly effective. We will continue to do this. But I have decided that, for the time being, we do not have to go beyond this policy. We leave it to the populations of Syria and Iraq, and to our many friends in the region, to deal with this scourge themselves.

DECODING OBAMA’S SPEECH REVEALS SOME STARTLING REVELATIONS
In one press conference after another, when referring to the Muslim terror super-group ISIS, United States President Barack Obama will use the term ISIL instead of their former name ISIS or current name Islamic State. Have you ever wondered about that?
ISIL stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant. Now, to us Westerners we don’t really make much of a distinction, do we? No, honestly from our perspective its all about the same. But how would a Muslim living in the Middle East view it? Just what is the Levant anyway? Let’s take a look.
The geographical term LEVANT refers to a multi-nation region in the Middle East. It’s a land bridge between Turkey to the north and Egypt to the south. If you look on a map, however, in the near exact middle of the nations that comprise the Levant, guess what you see? Come on, guess!
It’s Israel.
When Barack Obama refers over and over to the Islamic State as ISIL, he is sending a message to Muslims all over the Middle East that he personally does not recognize Israel as a sovereign nation, but as territory belonging to the Islamic State.
Now you know why Obama says that he has no plan, no goal, and no stated aim for dealing with ISIS. But he does have a plan, and it’s a really nasty, diabolical one. Obama’s plan is to drag his feet for as long as he can, doing only the bare minimum that Congress forces him to do. His “plan”to buy ISIS as much time as possible to make as many gains as they can.
Listen as Obama painstakingly spells out the letters I-S-I-L so there is no doubt in your mind:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuKsgn5bPcE
And it’s working.
The Islamic State has garnered millions of dollars, a vast cache of weapons, and in their latest foray have captured Syrian fighter jets. With each passing day that Obama fulfills his stated aim of doing nothing, the Islamic State grows by leaps and bounds. The ultimate goal, of course, has not changed and will never change.
The ultimate goal is the destruction of Israel.
Now you know a little bit more why Obama chooses his words so carefully, and what’s really in a name. Shakespeare had it right.
