CNN gave Obama a hard time today over ISIS, as we noted earlier, and the most surprising part of that surprising hard time was from Christiane Amanpour, who basically flat-out called the President a big fat liar. 

Well, not quite, but she certainly said he was dead wrong, as the video above shows.

"He said something that was pretty incredible according to many of the military experts here and around the world that I've spoken to, that our strategy is working. People do not believe that to be the case."

Absolutely right, and with good reason: it isn't working. Amanpour goes on to say that the only strategy that does work is the one he dismisses, which is the use of ground troops. "This is a fact," she says. Then she lays into his preposterous claim that ISIS is contained.

"He's saying that ISIS is contained. This also is not actually true."

She repeats several times that ISIS is not contained, giving examples of all the ways in which they are not contained. The one that will really leave a mark was her last though:

"They are not contained. They have just slaughtered 129 people in Paris."

That is brutal. And true. And it was said by Christiane Amanpour. 

Mr. President, if you've lost Amanpour ...
