BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – America’s top-ranking military officer found himself at odds Tuesday with the nation’s commander-in-chief over his claim that the Islamic State was “contained” – an assertion President Obama had made before the Paris terror attacks. Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, gave a dim assessment when asked during a House Armed Services Committee hearing whether that’s the case. “We have not contained ISIS currently,” Dunford told Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va. President Obama responded by saying that his words were taken out of context. He explained at a press conference, “When I said ISIS was contained, I was not referring to any region in the Middle East. I was referring to this planet. And I have now taken all necessary precautions that this terrorist organization doesn’t unleash their unprovoked violence on Mars, Jupiter, or attempt to blow up some of the beautiful rings of Saturn.”
