Responding to a petition from over a year ago, asking that this be done. “We have not seen credible evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood has renounced its decades-long commitment to non-violence,” said the White House response, completely ignoring, as always, the fact that the Brotherhood has the same goal as jihad terrorist organizations, even if […]
Obama’s fantasies about un-Islamic jihad — on The Glazov Gang
On this week’s Glazov Gang, Our Hero was joined by Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center, who writes the indispensable blog, “The Point,” on Frontpagemag.com. Daniel came on the show to discuss Obama’s sympathy for “Abdul-Rahman Kassig,” analyzing how the president exploited the murder of an American in order […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Hagel takes the fall
In FrontPage today I speculate on why Obama fired Hagel: Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that […]
Obama makes Chuck Hagel the scapegoat for his foreign policy failures
Chuck Hagel is out at the Department of Defense, and one administration official explained that it was because “the next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus” – apparently one that doesn’t shed such a bright light upon the smoking ruin that is Barack Obama’s foreign policy. Hagel may have sealed his […]
Benghazi security team disputes House Intel Committee Report
“We were told to stand down. We were delayed for approximately 27 minutes on our compound. We do not know, as far as outside of our chain of command outside Libya, where that came from.” “Benghazi Annex Security Team Members Disagree Forcefully with House Intel Committee Report,” by Paula Bolyard, PJ Tatler, November 22, 2014: […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 5 Fill-in-the-Blank Forms Obama Could Use Repeatedly
Over at PJ Media I suggest some ways Obama could streamline his presidency: We’re coming up to the six-year mark of Barack Obama’s disastrous presidency, and even though the world is on fire and he is holding the matchbook, the pronouncements coming out of the White House are getting a bit stale. The names change, […]
House Intel Committee: Benghazi not escalation of peaceful protest
The Obama Administration narrative is definitively torpedoed in this report — and yet the mainstream media, even more craven and dishonest than usual, is spinning the report as an exoneration of Obama. “CIA gathered intelligence on weapons to Syria: Benghazi report,” by Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, FoxNews.com, November 22, 2014: A leading Republican wants […]
Obama condemns synagogue jihad, says “too many Palestinians have died”
Obama condemns the Jerusalem synagogue jihad murders, but can’t stop himself from indulging in his usual moral equivalence, and pretending that both sides are equally responsible for the fact that there is no peace between Israel and the “Palestinians.”
US State Department asks UAE why it labeled Hamas-linked CAIR a terrorist organization
It’s perfectly clear why CAIR and MAS were listed as terror organizations: because of their links to the Muslim Brotherhood. But the Obama Administration cannot accept that, as it has itself done so much to aid the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere. Hence this move, which is a fresh indication of the unwholesome influence […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: More Beheadings, More Denial
In FrontPage today I discuss the predictable jihad and the predictable reaction to it: All you have to do is change the name of the victim, and this could be a story from August, or September, or October: the Islamic State has beheaded yet another hostage, this time Peter Kassig, aka Abdul-Rahman Kassig, and Barack […]
