"Does anyone know why 0bama and his administration says "ISIL" instead of "ISIS"?"
He says it for the same reason he says "Pockystan". He is trying to sound more intelligent than the rest of us. Instead he sounds just like the conceited jackass that he is.
Obama does not want to draw attention to the fact that he's very nearly lost Iraq and wasted the blood of the thousands who gave their lives to free it from tyranny.
He pauses, waiting for applause, and people only give that up because they know he will stand there silently until they clap a few times.
Reminds me of a Motorhead song...
I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred wh0r3.
I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate I am the politician, and I decide your fate
I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.

I know folks who are taking their toys and leaving . . .goodbye Stanley Druckenmiller.
quote:
Despite being openly troubled by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing and its distorting impact on markets, Stanley Druckenmiller doubled down on U.S. equities toward the end of 2013. A good move, as the S&P 500 index broke out to record highs. Druckenmiller closed his Duquesne Capital Management hedge fund in 2010, returned capital to investors, and converted it into a family office managing his personal fortune. Beyond saying the Fed "subsidized all asset prices," Druckenmiller has criticized President Obama and been an active backer of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, calling him a "once-in-a-generation leader." The former George Soros lieutenant, is said to have helped his former boss "break the Bank of England," shorting the pound for a $1 billion profit in 1992. He has praised Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos while openly shorting IBM. In December 2009, he announced a $705 million commitment to "medical research, education and the fight against poverty," including $100 million for a new neuroscience institute at NYU Langone Medical Center. He chairs Harlem Children's Zone, which helps 17,000-plus children and adults in its mission to break the "cycle of generational poverty."
Fb1; The L is for the Levant which is what we call Syria ( surrounding area ). I believe they chose that name and Obama uses it also.
Hi Mad Duck, good to hear from you, hope you're well. Thanks for the reply. I've done a little bit of research into the Levant. My comment about 0bama (and others in the administration) saying "ISIL" instead of "ISIS" as an insult to Israel was a result of reading several comments on other forums, but I'm not savvy enough on all of this yet to understand precisely why this is so.
What a mess Teh Won has made in the past six years, eh? You'd almost think it has all been by design...
He is trying to sound more intelligent than the rest of us.
Perhaps. Pretty much sums up his entire life.
...conceited jackass that he is.
I'd probably use "superior" or "entitled," but your point is well taken.
Most pathetic speech I've ever seen.
He knows, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we - all of America - are on to him. He does NOT want to be in the position he's in; he's way out of his comfort zone (and way out of his league).
However, his string-pullers have (at least) two more years to manipulate him for their gain, and he's definitely reflecting the stress of that reality.
BTW, speaking of power vacuums, the world is experiencing a power vacuum as the US demonstrates that we are no longer a strong world leader. Russia, China, along with a host of tin pot tyrants will take advantage.
I heard that quote yesterday also and my jaw just dropped.
It's obviously true, and probably good to be aware of it, but why on earth would you just publicly declare it like that? If there is one thing Obama can do well, it's avoiding answers by lying, misdirection, and obfuscation. He does it like breathing.
So the fact that he just declares something like this makes it clear to me that in his mind, he thinks that having no strategy is perfectly OK and acceptable, not even worth lying about.
Holy &^%^. This *will* result in another 9/11. How on earth can he not see that, and how on earth can he not be alarmed by that?
I actually laughed when I was told of Obama's comment because even he could not be that stupid to make such a leaderless, feckless comment. I was wrong, he is that stupid.
The United States of America WILL be attacked by ISIS.
YOU MUST vote ALL Democrats out of office in November so that Impeachment can commence. Obama is now displaying traitorous behavior and is well past the transgressions of Richard Nixon.
With all due respect, 0bama AND his minions have been displaying traitorous behavior pretty much since the day he took office.
Impeachment? Nope, he's gone WAY beyond impeachment.
We don't know much about his past, but what we DO know tells us that he was indoctrinated from an early age to hate America and what we stand for.
0bama is, in my opinion, a traitor. Impeachment is punishment for ordering your people to break into the Watergate Hotel, or for having extramarital sex with one of your interns and then lying about it to the American people.
Have you grown tired of the hooplah of the scandals?, With the co conspirator harry read blocking up the senate we can only wait until mid term, what happens beyond that I guess will depend on the outcome of mid term, and our resolve to correct this problem.
The following seems kinda anticlimactic contrasted with Teh Won's bewildering yet entirely-in-character statement re: ISIS yesterday, but it needs to be heard nonetheless:

CBO Updated Budget Outlook Shows Economy Headed in Wrong Direction Rachel Greszler /August 28, 2014
New figures from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirm the ongoing negative economic impact of Obama-era policies such as the Affordable Care Act, the Dodd–Frank Act, controls on energy production and transport, and Keynesian stimulus spending.
In an update to its annual Budget and Economic Outlook yesterday, the CBO projects lower gross domestic product (GDP), lower wages and salaries, and reduced retirement income for Americans in the years ahead.
According to CBO’s updated outlook, recent GDP growth has not met its previous projections, and the economy simply isn’t recovering as fully as it has from past recessions.
[T]he CBO report describes an economy on the wrong track. Federal spending and debt are out of control. Federal taxes, regulations, and crowding out of resources are hampering economic growth and preventing the private sector from flourishing.
0bama is, in my opinion, a traitor. Impeachment is punishment for ordering your people to break into the Watergate Hotel, or for having extramarital sex with one of your interns and then lying about it to the American peoplecourt.
