| Obama's Strategy, Obama Defends Islam, Remembering 9/11 |
Obama's Strategy President Obama delivered a prime-time address to the nation last night laying out his strategy for confronting ISIS (ISIL). Reaction to the president's address was mixed. Obama apologists were in full damage control mode, arguing that critics were simply playing politics. But there was considerable criticism from the left. For example: |

Obama To Lay Out ISIS Strategy President Obama will address the nation tonight, perhaps offering his strategy for defeating ISIS. Some analysts believe the president has an opportunity to revive himself. Polls indicate that the public is primed for action. The question is whether Obama will deliver. |
| Foreign Policy Debate, Kudos To Mike Pence |
The Great Foreign Policy Debate President Obama is huddling with congressional leaders today, outlining his newly developed strategy for combating the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, which he once dismissed as a "JV" team.

Victory -- For Now Facing intense political pressure, President Obama announced over the weekend that he won't issue a unilateral amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants . . . before the election. One commentator said that if Democrats lose the Senate this November, the White House doesn't want to see headlines blaming Obama's amnesty as the reason. During his interview with Obama, Meet The Press host Chuck Todd suggested this delay was all about politics. Obama insisted otherwise, saying: |

| Broken Trumpet, America's Muslim Missionaries, Where Are The Children? |
The Broken Trumpet President Obama has made a lot of gaffes lately, especially for someone who has come so far on the strength of his oratorical skills. Last week he said he had no strategy for dealing with the Islamic State -- a remark that left Pentagon officials "apoplectic." |

We are learning more about the second American killed last week in Syria fighting for ISIS. Abdirahmaan Muhumed was killed in the same battle as Douglas McAuthur McCain. Muhumed is believed to be part of a group of 15 Somali Americans who have left the country in recent months to fight with ISIS. |
| ISIS Strikes Again, Border Warnings, Jihadi High, Stop The Self-Delusion |
BREAKING NEWS: ISIS has released a video purportedly showing the beheading of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff. The jihadist taunted Obama in this video. In that sense, he is a lot like Putin, who regularly taunts the president while he continues his murderous ways in Ukraine. More and more we are seeing that a foreign policy based on reciting "Give peace a chance," doesn't work well in the real world. |
| Putin Strikes, Stark Warnings, Obama Preps Amnesty Defense |
Putin Strikes Putin is tightening his noose around Ukraine. While Russian troops on leave have reinforced flagging separatists in eastern Ukraine, two columns of Russian tanks and armored fighting vehicles invaded southeastern Ukraine and seized a town on the Sea of Azov, creating a second front. A Ukrainian military spokesman said, "Our border servicemen and guardsmen retreated as they did not have heavy equipment." |
| Ceasefire Holding, Jihad In America, Obama To Shame America |
Ceasefire Holding The ceasefire announced yesterday between Israel and Hamas seems to be holding -- for good reason. While Hamas declared victory yesterday, in reality it was increasingly desperate to end the fighting. Some Israelis are frustrated that Hamas wasn't totally defeated, but the jihadists took a beating. Their terror tunnel complex was exposed and decimated. Top leaders and hundreds of fighters were killed. Many weapons caches were destroyed. And reports suggest Hamas may have had only a month's worth of rockets left in its arsenal. |
