Obama confesses: ‘We don’t have a strategy yet’ for Islamic State

President Obama is not telegraphing his punches for confronting ISIS. Even the great statesman Sen Mccain knows about that. Check the video below.

John Mccain @ presidential debate says he has a 'Secret Plan' to catch Osama bin Ladin, Keith olbermann comments




Uploaded on Oct 9, 2008
And still, as this seventh 9/11 (TM) approaches that, Sir, is not the worst of your contributions to the utter politicizing of a day that should be sacrosanct to all of us. Hard to believe, but the Senator has done worse with 9/11 and the evil behind it.

We heard it last week in Minnesota, we've heard it off and on since January but Senator McCain said it most concisely in June. "Look," he said. "I know the area, I've been there, I know wars, I know how to win wars, and I know how to improve our capabilities so that we will capture Osama bin Laden -- or put it this way, bring him to justice. We will do it. I know how to do it."

Sen. McCain seems to be quite serious, that he and he alone, not the CIA, nor the U.S. Military, nor the current President can capture bin Laden. Thus we must take him at his word, that this is no mere ludicrous campaign boast. We must assume Sen. McCain truly believes he is capable of doing this, and has been capable of doing this, since last January. "We will capture Osama bin Laden... we will do it. I know how to do it." Well then, Senator, you'd better go and do it hadn't you?
Because, Sir, if a man or woman in this nation, Democrat or Republican, had a clear and effective means of capturing or killing Osama bin Laden...If that person had been advertising his claim, Senator for eight months.

But if that person not only refused to go to responsible authorities in government and advise them of this plan to catch bin Laden, but further announced he would not even begin to enact this secret plan to corral the world's most hated man until the end of next January.

What would be your description of such an individual, Senator? Charlatan? Do-nothing? Opportunist? Sen. McCain, if you have, if you have had a means of capturing Osama bin Laden, and you do not immediately inform some responsible authority of the full scope of that plan, you are to some degree great or small aiding and abetting Osama bin Laden.

If you could assist in capturing him now, Sen. McCain, but you have chosen not to you, Sir, have helped Osama bin Laden stay free. Free to inspire and supervise the terrorists. Free to plan or execute attacks here. You, Sir, are blackmailing some portion of the American electorate into voting for your party, by promising to help in the capture of bin Laden only if you are made president! I'd rather win an election than catch bin Laden! No more cynical calculation has ever been made in this nation's history, Sir. If you lose the election, Senator, are you not going to tell the President-Elect?

Are you intending to keep this a secret until the next election and your party's next nominee? Senator, as you and your Republicans shed your phony, crocodile, opportunistic tears tomorrow on 9/11 TM, in front of the utterly disingenuous banner "Country First," the fact is, you have shown that it is John McCain first, and the country last.

The fact is, Sir, by holding out on your secret plan to catch bin Laden by searing those images into our collective wounded American psyche at your nomination last week, terrorists are not what you, John McCain, fight. Terrorists are what you, John McCain, use.

I realize that Republicans and campaign reporters continue to perceive John McCain as a credible person when it comes to matters of national security and military affairs — but that doesnt make it sensible. John McCain says in almost every stump speech that he knows how to capture Osama bin Laden and that hed follow the al Qaeda leader to the Gates of Hell....what does McCain know that President Bush and the Pentagon dont about how to sweep up Americas most elusive enemy?

One thing I will not do is telegraph my punches. Osama bin Laden will be the last to know, he said today while riding on the back of his bus between Florida events. In other words: hes not telling. Why not share his strategy with the current occupant of the White House? Because I have my own ideas and it would require implementation of certain policies and procedures that only as the president of the United States can be taken.

If there are certain policies and procedures that could lead to OBLs detention, and a president could implement those policies and procedures now, why wouldnt McCain stop by the Oval Office for a chat with Bush about how best to proceed? By McCains own reasoning, it sounds like hed rather let bin Laden remain free for another year, until McCain and his own ideas can get to work.
