CNN international
correspondent Christiane Amanpour, long criticized by conservatives claiming
liberal bias, had surprisingly sharp words for President Barack Obama following
his remarks on the Islamic State threat at the G-20 summit in Turkey on Monday.
“If anybody was expecting to
hear in the passion and eloquence and speech patterns of President Obama a
tipping point, they did not hear that today,” Amanpour said, adding that he was
“defensive” when pressed on American leadership.
In dismissing critics of his
Islamic State strategy, Amanpour said Obama is also dismissing the “very
palpable fear among citizens” in France, Britain and the United States that
terrorists could target their cities next.
“He said something that is
pretty incredible, according to many of the military experts here and around
the world who I have spoken to — that our strategy is working,” she added.
Pushing back against the
assertion, Amanpour argued only the ground troops strategy has worked to battle
the Islamic State. She pointed to operations to reclaim territory from the
terrorist group in Sinjar, Kobane and Tikrit as evidence of that.
“He’s saying that ISIS is
contained. This is also not actually true,” she said. “ISIS is not contained
because ISIS attacked a Russian plane, attacked Beirut” and now attacked Paris.
