I dont think that Obama misunderstands anything about ISIS. Hes perfectly aware of their motives, their intentions, and their track record. Everyone is aware of those things, as ISIS has been quite open about them. The question is not, How can he fail to understand what ISIS wants? The question is, What does he have to gain from evading and denying it? The difference between Netanyahu and Obama, and the reason Netanyahu can openly identify ISIS for what it is, is that their fundamental views of Western values are at opposite poles. Netanyahu embraces those values; Obama rejects them. Obama has worked his entire life in the service of destroying and denigrating reason, individual rights, and capitalism. Why, when hes confronted with a group that is so efficaciously doing that work for him, would he admit its true nature? That would require that, in his nominal capacity as leader of the free world, he fight it. Why would he? No, he wouldnt pick up a knife and behead someone, or sign his daughters up for clitorectomies, but he knows an ideological comrade when he sees one. Besides, the stoning, the beheadings, the torture...to a modern leftist thats just cultural diversity that can neither be criticized nor allowed to impede the prime directive: the destruction of reason, individual rights, and capitalism.
