When President Barack Obama hosts French President François Hollande on Tuesday, he’ll have more on his agenda than demonstrating solidarity against terrorism. He’ll also be working to make sure Hollande sticks with the international effort to punish and isolate Vladimir Putin for his aggression in Ukraine. Privately, Obama officials say they are concerned about whether key European leaders are prepared to extend sanctions on Moscow, which expire in late January. And they are wary of any effort by Putin — who will host Hollande in Moscow later this week — to link events in Syria and Ukraine. The fear is that Putin might try to trade more aggressive Russian action against the Islamic State for France’s backing in reducing or ending the sanctions. A top-level debate is underway behind the scenes among administration officials over how effective sanctions have been at curbing Putin's ambitions. The sanctions, which limit travel by Russian officials and restrict the access of Russian companies to international markets, were imposed after Putin's March 2014 annexation of Crimea and subsequent support for a separatist movement in eastern Ukraine. The conflict has left some 8,000 people dead, most of them civilians.....snip~ Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/obama-hollande-216118#ixzz3sQ2rAzu1 Do you think the French will even listen to him? They already tricked BO with Libya, Iran, and Syria. Oh, and BO peep with his Team are just now having that Debate over how effective Sanctions have been against Putin and Russia?
The Paris attacks have left some French officials nodding in agreement with Obama critics in the U.S. who say he lacks a vigorous enough strategy for defeating ISIL. “I think it’s difficult to blame the French for exploring [coordination with Russia], especially since President Obama has implied this week that the Paris attacks aren’t an event that justify altering the U.S. strategy in Syria,” said Simond de Galbert, a former diplomat at France’s foreign ministry who is now a visiting fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. But not everyone in the Obama administration is wholly convinced, and Obama continues to press the issue, just in case. Putin has already surprised him too many times.....snip~ Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/obama-hollande-216118#ixzz3sQfprtMV Even the French think Putin has outsmarted BO. They may want Assad gone, but they want Russia to be in the fight against Daesh. I think we can see the French wheeling and dealing. No matter what BO peep says.
I'm just listening Bobo on Aljazeera international...The guy is completely deluded. According to him everything is going great...win after win...And he guarantees that Americans won't be harmed. The USA can safely sleep in the knowledge that Bobo has taken care of everything. Bless him.
Yet, he just put up a worldwide travel Warning for All Americans. I heard the Belgians were telling Americans to not go out in public. Which I would like to know if they had specific threats for Americans in Brussels. Truthfully BO peep and his Team has increased the Risk of Harm on all Americans and Assets. Not to mention......got tricked while trying to conduct business. Now a Religious Criminal Organization is playing Cat and mouse with him, and their not playing the role of Mouse. Did he actually guarantee that?
Heh. It was only a few short years ago when Europeans gathered by the tens of thousands to worship the Obamessiah and lay Nobel Peace Prizes at His feet... ...Then, to burnish His sacred multilateral credentials, he ran off with their leaders and turned Libya into an anarchic, jihadist-infested (*)(*)(*)(*)hole, because it was the humanitarian thing to do. One can only wonder how many of the jihadists who fought there and all the weapons they seized from Qaddafi are now in Syria, where Caliph Ibrahim and his death cult have taken up residence. Take heart, Europe, for you too can safely sleep in the knowledge that your "progressive" Anointed One has taken care of everything. He will smite the Neo-Cons and contain the Islamic State and Fundamentally Transform not just America, but Europe and the entire world! ..
I'd be laughing if wasn't so tragic. Obama has basically ignored ISIS for years, and now he is going to advise the leader of a country that was just brutally attacked? Yep, sure makes him look good...
Obama has no interest in protecting Americans or Europeans from the Islamic hordes. Anyone depending on him for their safety is beyond naive. It's plain stupidity.
BO did a presser with Hollande. BO says we stand together and are about to deliver some Justice to Daesh. I hope he doesn't mean legal action. Obama Holds Joint Presser With Hollande: "Americans Will Not Be Terrorized"..... Presidents Obama and Hollande expressed their solidarity during a joint press conference in the East Room of the White House Tuesday. Obama said he and Hollande were here to declare the United States and France stand united and are ready “to deliver justice to terrorists.” This barbaric terrorist group and its murderous ideology poses a serious threat to all of us. “It must be destroyed and we must do it together,” he insisted. Obama acknowledged France as our oldest ally. “Americans love France because we dedicate ourselves to the same ideals,” he said. The president said he and Hollande supported the French strikes in Syria and will continue to step up coordination. The U.S., he explained, will share intelligence to France to help destroy terror networks. He also called on the European Union to finally implement an agreement that requires airlines to share passenger information to stop terror fighters from entering nations. Additionally, Hollande said we must close the border between Turkey and Syria and prevent the entry of terrorists. France also plans to support the forces fighting terrorists on the ground. “I want you to know we will do everything in our power to protect our nation,” he said. Our counterterrorism, homeland security, he emphasized, have “prevented attacks and they have saved lives.” As for the Syrian refugee program, which more than half the country has soundly rejected, “no one goes through more screenings than refugees,” the president ensured......snip~ http://townhall.com/tipsheet/cortneyobrien/2015/11/24/obama-hollande-presser-n2085011 I don't know what Poll he was looking at. But the majority are against his Syrian Refugee Policy.
