"PBO literally said Syria 10 SECONDS before upChuck made this claim. PBO says Syria for the fourth time at the 8:15 mark on this video. upChuck makes his claim at 8:25."

All Gotcha and shite! Rofl
PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Well, theyre not a JV team. But keep in mind that we anticipated some of these problems in the speech that I gave at West Point you know, several months ago, where I specifically said, our goal should not be to think that we can occupy every country where theres a terrorist organization.
Our goal has to be to partner more effectively with governments that are committed to pushing back against the kind of extremism that ISIL represents. And thats going to require us to do things a little bit differently. Were going to have to work smarter.
Were going to have to train the military there more capably. Weve got to do more effective diplomatic work to eliminate the the schism between Sunni and Shia that has been fueling so much of the violence in Syria, in Iraq. And so we put together a plan that is compatible with the kind of work that were doing now.
ISIL poses a broader threat because of its territorial ambitions in Iraq and Syria.
PRESIDENT OBAMA:
But right. And II want everybody to understand that we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from ISIL. Thats not what this is about. What its about is an organization that, if allowed to control significant amounts of territory, to amass more resources, more arms to attract more foreign fighters, including from areas like Europe, who have Europeans who have visas and then can travel to the United States unimpeded, that over time, that can be a serious threat to the homeland.
In in the more immediate term, its an imm its a threat to friends, partners in the region and is causing all kinds of hardship. And weve seen the savagery not just in terms of how they dealt with the two Americans that had been taken hostage but the killing of thousands of innocents in in Iraq thousands of innocents in Syria, the kidnapping of women the complete disruption of entire villages.
PRESIDENT OBAMA:
Not yet. But they they can evolve. And I was very specific at that time. What I said was, not every regional terrorist organization is automatically a threat to us that would call for a major offensive. But what is absolutely clear in ISIL, which started as Al Qaeda in Iraq and arose out of the U.S. invasion there and was contained because of the enormous efforts of our troops there then shifted to Syria, has metastasized, has grown.
CHUCK TODD:
"Youve not said the word, Syria, so far in our conversation. Obviously, if youre going to defeat ISIS, you have used very much stronger language. Its gone through the week during your trip to Wales. You got to go to Syria in some form or another."
"Notice that Obamas last mention of Syria came two sentences before Todd made his fatuous statement.
If one of the traits of a good interviewer is listening to the answers given by the subject, Chuck Todd fails. Miserably."
