Noah on Obama’s ISIS Strategy: Your Non-Immediate Resolution Not Going to Cut It

‘These are Americans you’re talking to — the people who spend millions of dollars a year on diet pills that will make you lose 50 pounds in five days’

OBAMA [video]: "We're going to continue to pursue the strategy that has the best chance of working even though it does not offer the satisfaction, I guess, of a neat headline or an immediate resolution."
NOAH: "I'm sorry, President Obama. This is non-immediate resolution stuff is just not going to cut it. These are Americans you're talking to. The people who spend millions of dollars a year on diet pills that will make you lose 50 pounds in five days. These are the inventors of the TV dinner! Americans won't even gram unless its insta. But after such a tragedy, I understand the impulse we just want to get revenge. I get it. That's anger. That's one of the stages of grief most people go through if they're normal. In the last few days, we've seen not everyone is normal, and most of them are running for office. You see, for some politicians, they don't go through the five stages -- denial, anger, bargaining, um, anger, and the Department of Commerce."
