This is the depth of the Commander-In-Chief’s analysis. “Obama compares ISIS to Heath Ledger’s Joker from The Dark Knight saying they just ‘just want to set the whole region on fire,’” by Snejana Farberov, Dailymail.com, March 10, 2016: President Barack Obama likened the Middle East to Gotham, the fictional metropolis in the Batman franchise, with […]
Obama: I’m more worried about climate change than the Islamic State
Priorities that are likely to come back and bite him. “OBAMA: I’m more worried about climate change than ISIS,” by Rob Wile, Fusion, March 10, 2016: In a new interview published in The Atlantic magazine, President Obama says he is more worried about climate change than the terrorist group ISIS. “ISIS is not an existential threat […]
White House falsely claims Iran using sanctions cash domestically, not for military
They’ve lied about the success of airstrikes against the Islamic State. So it’s no surprise that they would lie in this context as well. “White House Making Up Iran Data?,” by Michael Rubin, Commentary, March 6, 2016: Colin Kahl, Vice President Joseph Biden’s National Security Advisor, reportedly told a conference at the RAND Corporation that […]
Obama DHS secretly scrubbed 1,000 names from U.S. terror watch lists
“At least 1,000 names were scrubbed from the U.S. Terrorist Screening Database as part of an administration effort to protect the civil rights of suspected individuals.” What could possibly go wrong? Surely if any jihadis’ names were scrubbed from the list, they would be so grateful that their civil rights were being protected that they […]
Obama wants more Syrian refugees in the U.S.
What could possibly go wrong? Last February, the Islamic State boasted it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees. And the Lebanese Education Minister recently said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in camps in his country. Meanwhile, 80% of migrants who have recently come to Europe claiming to be […]
CENTCOM deletes files amid charges that intel altered to exaggerate progress against ISIS
Apparently the appearance of victory so as to gain political advantage is now more important than actual victory. Who ordered this? Is CENTCOM now so politicized that it actively does the Obama Administration’s bidding without being asked? Or is Obama behind it? “House Intelligence Committee chairman says personnel at U.S. Central Command deleted files and […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: War Is Over, Prison Camp Closes
In FrontPage today I discuss how Obama’s closing of Guantanamo shows again that he doesn’t even believe we’re in a war. Barack Obama announced Tuesday that he was finally fulfilling one of his foremost campaign promises and closing the Guantanamo Bay detention center. Usually the closing of a prison camp for enemy combatants signals the […]
If He Doesn’t Like Trump’s Exclusion of All Muslims, Obama Must Exclude Advocates of Sharia and Caliphate
The smart and beautiful in both parties have been prostrate with the vapors ever since Donald Trump called for a temporary timeout on admitting all Muslims into the United States until “we can figure out what the hell is going on.” Such a blanket exclusion, his critics claim, not only would be illegal (questionable), but […]
Why you should side with Apple, not the FBI, in the San Bernardino iPhone case
“What the FBI wants to do would make us less secure, even though it’s in the name of keeping us safe from harm. Powerful governments, democratic and totalitarian alike, want access to user data for both law enforcement and social control. We cannot build a backdoor that only works for a particular type of government, […]
Obama refuses to hit the Islamic State’s Libyan capital
This is the kind of action — and there are so very many of them — that makes people suspicious of Obama regarding Islam, even as the mainstream media continues to dismiss all such suspicions as “racism” and “bigotry.” Even if he is not a Muslim, he seems determined to advance the global Islamic agenda […]
