Will he take the guns or send forces into Syria to fight IS?

Would anyone place any stock in what Obama says? He is all ideology and narrative. He is a morally-superior, moralising, BS artist.

Terrorists manufacture and arm themselves with pipe bombs that through luck are not quite up to the mark and the next ones would be for more numerous targets, but Obama spins it all as a 'gun control' problem. One of the terrorists, perhaps the mastermind is a woman, but that was kept quiet for as long as possible. The spin goes on and on, relentless, to a mushroomed electorate.

The US needs a statesman, but then so does Australia.

Obama said that they stop people from flying but they don't stop them from buying guns.big deal, they don't stop them from buying petrol either, or pipe for pipe bombs nor do they deny them access to the wherewithal to make explosives.

Fourteen dead in Cairo from petrol bombs; when will Obama ban or seriously restrict the sale of petrol?

//Fourteen dead in Cairo from petrol bombs; when will Obama ban or seriously restrict the sale of petrol?//

And more to the point, when will he ban people from siphoning it out of cars? It's no good restricting the supply of petrol to the law-abiding, you have to restrict its supply to the criminal classes as well.

Like usual they can't even hit the right targets or did they do it on purpose.

BEIRUT, Dec 7 (Reuters) - The Syrian government said on Monday four warplanes from the U.S.-led coalition bombed a Syrian army camp in Deir al Zor province, which would be the first known attack by the coalition against government forces.

Three soldiers were killed and 13 wounded the Syrian government said. It called the attack an act of aggression.

The jets fired nine missiles at the camp on Sunday evening, Syria's foreign ministry said in a statement flashed on state television.

A monitoring group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, reported earlier that jets likely to be from the coalition that is targeting Islamic State hit an army camp in Deir al-Zor province, killing four Syrian army personnel.

I'm closer to eighty than seventy and always taken an interest in US politics since my Vietnam days. I'm bound to say that Mr OBAMA is probably the worst US President in my memory, on many fronts, in fact too numerous to mention. I'd be a Republican if I were a US citizen in any event.

What I would like to see, is a comment from DAVID F, on Mr OBAMA and what he's 'achieved' for his country and his constituents, since taking the oval office ? Please DAVID F, I'd like to hear your most welcome opinion, if you'd be so kind ?
