ABC: Obama ‘Creating a Lot of Concern’ by Not Having Strategy To Defeat ISIS

ABC: Obama ‘Creating A Lot of Concern’ By Not Having Strategy To Defeat ISIL (Washington Free Beacon)

ABC’s Martha Raddatz called Obama’s admission Thursday that “we don’t have a strategy yet” for fighting ISIL “a stark admission,” and said it is creating concern, given the terror group’s increasing strength.

Raddatz observed that Obama appeared to be trying to “tamp down the emotional response” to the execution of American James Foley and other reports of ISIL’s brutality.

“I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” Obama said Thursday. “We don’t have a strategy yet.”

“A stark admission, since the threat of ISIS has increased at an astonishing rate in the last year,” Raddatz remarked.
