President Obama for some time was avoiding the ISIS / ISIL hype. He continued his “Don’t do stupid stuff” policy. President Obama disregarded Hillary Clinton’s neocon-lite like critique in her The Atlantic interview. He scolded a reporter for asking Right Wing warmongering questions.
Over the last few weeks, it was evident that the purveyors of hype and misinformation were having an effect on American citizens. The neocons were aided by the graphic beheading of two American journalists that instilled a carnal fear in many Americans. The neocons got that emotional push they needed. The President felt the heat as Americans supported some sort of action. The polls showed overwhelming support for military action.
