On Wednesday’s Special Report, Charles Krauthammer said President Obama will highlight past American actions he authorized in Yemen and Somalia as the model for addressing the Islamic State within Syria in his speech. Krauthammer said this would be a contradiction of everything the American people were hearing during the past week. “If he (President Obama) thinks that Yemen and Somalia are comparable to ISIS, I mean he’s living on the moon,” Krauthammer said. “The real comparison here is to the original Afghan campaign.”


Krauthammer said the original Afghan campaign that destroyed the Taliban in 100 days a serious campaign, and said the question about Obama’s seriousness remains. He went on to explain how the alliance of nations organized by the Obama administration pales in comparison to the coalition President George W. Bush had organized as commander-in-chief.
