British Prime Minister David Cameron announced today that the UK’s terror threat level was being increased to “severe”:
The UK Threat Level from international terrorism has been raised to Severe. We will respond calmly and purposefully, but without compromise.
— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) August 29, 2014
On Monday, I will speak in the House on the measures we're taking to defeat extremism, protect our way of life and keep all our people safe.

Breaking: The terror threat to the UK has been raised from substantial to severe. Meaning a terrorist attack is "highly likely"
— Evening Standard (@standardnews) August 29, 2014
Decision to raise terror threat level in UK made by experts at Joint Terrorism Assessment Center, not by politicians, says @David_Cameron.

Cameron didn’t mince words in describing the nature of the threats and what must be done to defeat them:
BREAKING: British PM David Cameron says "root cause" of terrorist threat in UK is "Islamist extremism." http://t.co/Kwqyxf1Pec
— CNN International (@cnni) August 29, 2014
Cameron: “What we are facing in Iraq now with ISIL is a greater and deeper threat to our security than what we have known before.”
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) August 29, 2014
Cameron reiterates: “The threat we face today comes from the poisonous narrative of Islamist extremism” and not from the Iraq War.
— Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) August 29, 2014
Cameron: “The terrorist threat was not created by the Iraq war ten years ago. It existed even before the horrific attacks on 9/11"

'We cannot appease this ideology. We have to confront it at home and abroad' – British PM Cameron on #ISIS threat pic.twitter.com/NjDXmOmOC0

Cameron’s statement was in stark contrast to President Obama’s infamous “no strategy” remarks about ISIS yesterday:
PM Cameron speaks 2 UK people in no uncertain terms about threat. Mr. Obama spoke 2 US people in nothing but uncertain terms #foxnews #tcot
— Eric the Ignorant (@eric_grey) August 29, 2014
Cameron currently making Obama's presser yesterday look like an opening band at a run-down county fair.
— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) August 29, 2014
Obama: It's "unrealistic" to defeat ISIS,and we don't have a strategy anyway.
Cameron: It won't be quick, but we will defeat them.#Contrast— Josh Jordan (@NumbersMuncher) August 29, 2014

The great orator. Obama, was put to shame by PM Cameron's speech today. Obama's speech was like something from a JV debate team. #tcot

@Varneyco Can we rent Cameron's leadership for the final two years of Obama's presidency? I would sleep better.

Britain We are willing to make you trade you give us David Cameron We will give you Obama and we will throw in Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi
— AppSame (@AppSame) August 29, 2014
At least Cameron calls #ISIS what it is, religious extremists. Obama still calls them militants, like they are 60s civil rights agitators.
— DougDigDug (Dougie Not Fresh) (@DougDigdug) August 29, 2014
Well said David Cameron!!! Now let's compare that to Obama's speech yesterday. #DavidCameron

Just heard PM Cameron deliver speech. Wow! Fabulous. Wish Pres. Obama was as decisive and patriotic about America

Cameron leadership on Islamic threat is clear contrast to Obama muddled, wordy approach
— Bob Turek (@bobturek) August 29, 2014
Prime Minister Cameron says ISIS threat is a poisonous ideology of Islamic extremism. Clueless Pres. Obama says it's political.
— Ross Calloway (@lunchcounter) August 29, 2014
UK, we'll trade you one Cameron for an Obama, Kerry, Holder, and all the Clintons you want. Deal?
— Alex MacArthur (@amacarthur) August 29, 2014
Meanwhile, the fact that President Obama will attend fundraisers tonight and the wedding of an MSNBC host tomorrow isn’t going unnoticed.

@AlexisinJax @FL_Chelle Perhaps PM Cameron can clue in Obama. When O is done with his fundraisers.
— Fred Reitman (@FredReitman) August 29, 2014
As Obama is fundraising PM Cameron leads and tells it like it is.
