“We also see that ISIS leaders are very concerned about their own security. They are not moving particularly freely these days.” Does Barack Obama walk out of the front door of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, stroll down the street to a local, bar, and walk in, sit down and have a beer? Alone and unaccompanied? […]
Obama: Climate change “an immediate threat to our national security,” caused jihad in Nigeria and Syria
Obama’s claims here are based on the proposition that poverty causes terrorism. Drought led to jihad in Nigeria, and drought, crop failures and high food prices led to jihad in Syria. But if poverty causes terrorism, one wonders why the world isn’t full of Haitian and Angolan terrorists. Also, poverty doesn’t cause terrorism. The Economist […]
Obama admin says “file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight” is “inaccurate” days before huge ISIL convoy in Ramadi
“We are urging broadcasters to avoid using the familiar B-roll that we’ve all seen before, file footage of ISIL convoys operating in broad daylight, moving in large formations with guns out, looking to wreak havoc. It’s inaccurate — that’s no longer how ISIL moves…” “A more accurate image, said Col. Steven Warren, a Pentagon spokesman, […]
Obama knew jihadis were planning Benghazi attack 10 days in advance
This makes his blaming of the freedom of speech — his attribution of the attack to a spontaneous reaction to a YouTube video — frankly insidious. What anti-free speech initiative was he hoping to implement in the wake of the attack? “JW: Obama Admin Knew About Benghazi Before It Happened,” Judicial Watch, May 18, 2015: […]
FBI, Homeland Security have not bothered to contact Pamela Geller after Islamic State threatens to murder her
Apparently the Obama FBI and DHS not only are unwilling to discuss Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism; they’re also unwilling to protect those who do: Hannity: “This is a serious threat. Basically a Fatwa, a death threat, has now been issued. Your reaction to that? Have you had any contact with the FBI?” […]
Robert Spencer in PJM: Has Baghdad Bob Become Secretary of Defense?
Over at PJ Media I explain how we’re getting nowhere with the Islamic State, but you wouldn’t know that by listening to this administration: Remember Baghdad Bob? During the 2003 American invasion of Iraq, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, or “Baghdad Bob,” kept us laughing by repeatedly declaring that the Iraqi Army was humiliating […]
Obama Breaks Promise on 100th Anniversary of Armenian Genocide
As the world continues to look on in dismay at the barbaric atrocities committed against Christian minorities by the Islamic State—the self-proclaimed new “caliphate”—today, April 24, marks the genocide of Armenian and other Christian minorities by Turkey’s Islamic Ottoman Empire—the last caliphate. Most American historians who have examined the question agree that what the Armenians experienced was […]
US kills American al-Qaeda propagandist, accidentally kills American hostage in drone strikes
Gadahn has been killed before, and given what the killing of Weinstein reveals about the inaccuracy of the Obama Administration’s intel, don’t be surprised if Gadahn, a self-described “revolting geek of mass proportions,” pops up again. “Warren Weinstein, Adam Gadahn Killed in U.S. Drone Strikes,” by Jim Miklaszewski, Robert Windrem and Tracy Connor, NBC News, […]
Iranian opposition activist: “Obama is the son of a Shiite father… Some people call him the Iranian lobby in America.”
This claim has been going around for years. One reason why it never dies is because Obama never does anything to disconfirm it. “Commentators on Arab TV: Obama Supports Iran Because His Father Was a Shiite,” MEMRI, n.d. (thanks to Steve): On March 25, during an interview on Hiwar TV, broadcasting from London, Syrian writer […]
Obama’s Christianity — A Political Tool to Silence Christians
Here in the United States, where Americans are used to hearing their president always invoke Christianity in a manner that silences Christians, United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron’s recent Easter message was moderately refreshing. Among other things, Cameron made it a point to say “that we should feel proud to say, ‘This is a Christian […]
