Trump takes jab at Obama's terrorism speech, questions his words of choice

December 07, 2015 10:04

Republicans today slammed Barack Obama for not spelling out a clear action plan to defeat Islamic State with leading presidential aspirant of the party Donald Trump panning the US President for not saying that America is at "war with radical Islamic terrorists".

"Obama refused to say (he just can't say it) that we are at WAR with RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS," Trump said in a series of tweets soon after Obama delivered a rare address to the nation in which he assured Americans of defeating ISIS.

Expressing disappointment over Obama's address, he said, "Is that all there is? We need a new President - FAST!," he said, adding that the US should have gone after oil years ago.

Joining Trump in being disappointed over Obama's speech, Paul Ryan, speaker of the US House of Representatives said the primary responsibility is to keep the Americans safe from the real and evolving threat of radical Islamic terrorism.
