WASHINGTON (WNB) - A source within the Obama administration has leaked the President's new ten-point strategy, called 'The Obama Plan,' for confronting the Islamic State (IS or ISIS). Obama will unveil the plan to the American people during a special news conference Wednesday.
The 'Obama Plan' consists of the following:
- Start referring to ISIS as a 'pro' instead of 'junior varsity' terrorist organization.
- Assemble an international coalition of nations to join the U.S. in publicly condemning the torture and killing of Christians and Shiite Muslims.
- Use drones to scare ISIS members whenever possible.
- Ask Mideast allies who are secretly financing and supporting ISIS to please stop.
- 'Significantly' mark up prices for repair parts ISIS purchases for U.S. military vehicles they have confiscated.
- Offer parts discounts to ISIS in return for not beheading U.S. citizens.
- Threaten ISIS with financial sanctions if they don't surrender.

President Obama has been strongly criticized, even by his own party, for his lack of a plan to deal with ISIS - his administration is hoping this aggressive strategy will quiet domestic criticism while thwarting the jihadists' progress.
