President Obama emerged briefly this afternoon to address the brutal murder of American journalist James Foley. Naturally, he didn’t stick around for questions, but he did make this bold pronouncement before checking out:
"People like [ISIS] ultimately fail. Because the future is won by those who build and not destroy": Barack Obama http://t.co/SISskMJOS0

It’s a little more complicated than President Peace Prize would like us to believe. Evil doesn’t just buckle; it has to be stopped cold and obliterated — by force.

If the president thinks ISIS will crumble on its own, he is dangerously mistaken.
Obama said people like ISIS ultimately fail…what does that mean? Now we wait for them to get tired of playing their JV game? WTH

Um…no! Nazis had to be defeated!— Shoebox (@Shoeboxnre) August 20, 2014
"People like this [ISIS] ultimately fail." Because we kill them before they can succeed, right, Mr. President?

People like ISIS ultimately fail, but let's help speed up the process, shall we?

You want to send a message, Mr. President? Back your words up with action.
"Ultimately people like this (ISIL) fail."
Mr. President they FAIL because nations rise up against them and destroy them. Do something!

People like ISIS don’t “ultimately fail”. They are defeated by peoples with enough guts to beat them into submission or extinction.
