Obama on
ISIS: I’m Not Interested In ‘America Winning’
(The Federalist) – During a press
conference detailing his administration’s strategy to destroy ISIS following
several devastating terrorist attacks in Paris, President Barack Obama said
he’s not interested in “pursuing some notion of American leadership or
America winning.”
Obama’s remarks came several days
after ISIS attacks in Paris that killed over 120 people and injured
scores of others. Friday night’s attacks on France are believed to be the
deadliest terrorist attacks in the country’s history.
Throughout Monday’s press
conference, Obama insisted that his strategy for defeating ISIS was working and
did not need to change. On Friday, just hours before the deadly Paris attacks,
the president insisted in a television interview with ABC News that
his administration had “contained” ISIS.
Obama’s tone during Monday’s press
conference alternated between defensive and disinterested. The two-term
Democratic president repeatedly insisted
that his strategy was working and scoffed at demands to change his plan to
confront and defeat ISIS.
“What I’m not interested in doing is
posing or pursuing some notion of American leadership or America winning or
whatever other slogans they come up with that has no relationship to what is
actually going to work to protect the American people and to protect the people
in the region who are getting killed and to protect our allies and people like
France,” Obama said. “I’m too busy for that.”
