Of course it can.
First, from Breitbart.com:
Obama: ISIS Can Become ‘A Manageable Problem’
President Barack Obama said that ISIS can be shrunk to “a manageable problem” if the international community works to “isolate” it on Wednesday.
Really? ISIS can simply be “managed”?
“If we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink ISIL’s sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities, to the point where it is a manageable problem…what we’ve got to do is make sure that we are organizing the Arab world, the Middle East, the Muslim world, along with the international community, to isolate this cancer,” Obama stated.
True, Mr Obama? As the international community is SO interested in scaling back and opposing Vladimir Putin — particularly in Europe? Because Mr Putin controls the Oil Tap that connects the EU to Russia?
That kind of international joining? Meaning: none?
Mr Obama is so incredibly inane as to be ludicrous.
The so-called “international community” hasn’t the power that the US potentially possesses — power that Mr Obama refuses to wield.
Mr Obama believes that ISIS can be “negotiated with.” He is wrong beyond wrong. ISIS will not negotiate and those who believe they can are considered weak and targets by ISIS.
ISIS doesn’t run or is motivated by anything other than religious fervor — Islam, to be specific, and the most repressive and constrictive application of Islam indeed.
ISIS respects no borders or arbitrarily-drawn country lines. Muslims are by nature a nomadic and tribal community ruled by various forms of barbarism, then as now. Sharia Law stems from this. The job of ISIS is simply to Borg the rest of the Middle East, by any means necessary. A supreme caliphate is desired.
ISIS will not “negotiate” and cannot be “managed.”

He is a shell of a humanoid in this video. He has the “stare” that only someone WAAAAAAY over his head can have. He’s scared, and this video clearly demonstrates his fear of what is to come with the ISIS issue as well as all the other problems HIS administration have caused. There was not one iota of confidence in his “strategy” to “manage” ISIS. This crisis will grow exponentially with every swing of his golf club in the coming weeks……Putin knows it, ISIS knows it, and, unfortunately, our allies also know it.
He has become an empty p.r. flack suit throwing out focus group tested verbiage. Not a leader at all.
The fault is not solely with obama. Where are the voices of our elected representatives? What are we hearing from them? Is there any one of them with the courage to say he is wrong? Naive? Worse than useless? That his priorities should not be the golf course? Is there any one of them with the courage to say: ISIS must be crushed unequivocally? That ISLAM is the root cause?
Read this speech from Geert Wilders to the Dutch Parliament. http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/4674/geert-wilders-speech#.VAicCKyKTBU.facebook
Have similar things not happened in America today? Then tell me why it is not one political leader (I use the word loosely) in America has the backbone to state the obvious as Wilders has done.
There is only one way to ‘manage’ a problem like isis and words are not it. It must be met with swift force and stern resolve to kill this cancer before it kills us.
