OBAMA: ""I'm preparing the country to make sure that we deal with a threat from ISIL."

Yes, we must protect American adrenalin junkie reporters, at all costs. (SEE: While Obama and Rand Flip Out Over ISIS...)

This morning on Meet the Press, President Obama said that on Wednesday he will outline to the nation his administration's plans for fighting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and does not expect to ask Congress for approval to act, he said in an interview airing Sunday.

"I'm preparing the country to make sure that we deal with a threat from ISIL," Obama said in an interview.

"There's going to be an economic element to this. There's going to be a political element to it. There's going to be a military element to it," he said, without going into more detail. "And what I want people to understand, though, is that over the course of months, we are going to be able to not just blunt the momentum of ISIL. We are going to systematically degrade their capabilities. We're going to shrink the territory that they control. And ultimately we're going to defeat 'em."

"The next phase is now to start going on some offense," Obama said.

  1. If this is such an imminent threat to national security why wait until Wednesday?
