“Our coalition will not relent”, Obama said Sunday in Malaysia, the final stop in his roughly one-week overseas trip.

President Barack Obama, speaking at a town hall meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Friday, criticized the United States of America for telling other people to do what Americans fail to do themselves, for “growing inequality”, and because “our political system does not work as well as it should”. The president repeatedly has ruled out a large presence of USA troops.
Obama has shown no indication that he wants to rethink the USA strategy or significantly expand America’s commitment.
“That is a fantastic argument for them to then try to initiate more people, to recruit more people, saying, “Look, Muslims are discriminated, Muslims are rejected by the Western world, they are our enemies so if you want to be a true Muslim, join us, ‘” he said in an exclusive interview from the United Nations in NY, CBC News” Susan Ormiston reports. “Not when we respond on the basis of fear”. “We are going to keep on rolling back ISIL in Iraq and in Syria, and take out more of their leaders and commanders so that they do not threaten us”, Obama said, using another acronym for the Islamic State. Previously, the billionaire real-estate mogul had said that he thinks “certain mosques” in the USA should be surveilled. “That’s entirely the appropriate approach”.
The White House had no immediate comment on how the shoot-down of the Russian plane would impact the talks between Obama and Hollande. “And he’s not really convinced a strong response will produce constructive results”.
Because our information on Syrian refugees is very limited, the legislation would effectively put a pause on the program.
In the Republican presidential contest, Donald Trump found himself with a potential new rival, the Constitution, in calling for a registry of Muslim citizens. The violence has killed more than 250,000 people and displaced millions, leading to a migrant crisis in Europe and intense concerns in the USA about Obama’s plan to take in thousands of Syrian refugees.
“These narratives don’t necessarily mesh, but they’re both there and the Russians are cheerfully pushing both forward”, Oliker said. The change had been “in the works for a while” and was accelerated after the attacks in Paris, he said. I’d blow up every single inch.
Obama has assembled an global coalition to attempt to defeat ISIS.
He added that ISIS is not “ten-feet-tall” and that there were no concrete threats against the US right now.
The Russian strikes have not only targeted the Islamic State group, but also Syrian insurgents battling to overthrow Assad, including some Western-backed groups. Unlike IS, Assad has powerful patrons in Moscow and Tehran. He’s ordered his navy to treat French forces in the eastern Mediterranean as allies, released Russian Defense Ministry images of ground crews writing “For Paris” on bombs to be dropped on Syrian targets, and even offered to send a puppy to France to honor a police dog that was killed in a counterterrorism raid in Paris. The Islamic State is far more threatened by Russian Federation than by the U.S. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has been more attentive to the world’s needs in this matter than has our own President and that is telling.
And in his weekly address, US Vice President Joe Biden echoed Obama, imploring Americans to remember “who the vast majority of these refugees are: women, children, orphans, survivors of torture, people desperately in need of medical help”. Najib said he had planned to begin his speech by talking about the achievements of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, of which he is the current chairman.
“I guess this is politics in this country”, he said.

To Thompson, the key is developing a non-American ground force that can seize ISIS’ land and stabilize Iraq and Syria. The State Department says “refugees are subject to the highest level of security checks of any category of traveler to the United States”.
