Hostility to Israel, dark warnings about the perils of global warming, and an anxiousness to absolve Islam of any responsibility for the evils done in its name — this single address by John Kerry sums up the Obama Administration’s foreign policy in a nutshell. “Kerry: Extremism Not Linked to Islam; Factors Include Deprivation, Climate Change,” […]
Does Obama Need ‘Time’ to Defeat or Forget ISIS?
[Via FrontPage Magazine] During U.S. President Obama’s televised speech on his strategies to defeat the Islamic State, the president said, “Now, it will take time to eradicate a cancer like ISIL” (a reference to the Islamic State, or “IS). Now, why is that? First, we know by “cancer” he is not referring to Islamic ideology—since […]
How Obama’s Arab Spring Created the Islamic State
[Via FrontPage Magazine] Over a decade ago, the U.S. conquered Iraq; its military and intelligence were on the ground for years with autonomy. In other words, U.S. influence and authority was more pronounced in Iraq than probably any other Muslim country in the world. And yet it is in this one Muslim nation, where the […]
White House official flies to Oklahoma City to read special thank-you note from Obama to beheader’s mosque
This is how it goes in America today: a Muslim screaming what were reported as “Islamic phrases” beheads one woman and is in the process of beheading another before he is stopped. The beheader’s Facebook page shows his allegiance to the Islamic State, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, etc. A former member of his mosque […]
Obama: U.S. intelligence underestimated the Islamic State
Of course U.S. intelligence underestimated the Islamic State. U.S. intelligence is bound as a matter of policy to pretend that there is no Islamic jihad terrorism, and that when Muslims commit acts of jihad terror, they are misunderstanding their own religion and misapplying its tenets. That means that U.S. intelligence is forbidden to understand the […]
Obama praises as “moderate” a Muslim cleric who backed fatwa on killing of U.S. soldiers
The political and media elites are so avid to find “moderates,” and they know so little about Islamic doctrine, that this kind of thing happens rather frequently. “Obama Praises Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on Killing of U.S. Soldiers,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, September 24, 2014: President Barack Obama favorably quoted and praised […]
Obama at the UN: “United States is not and never will be at war with Islam. Islam teaches peace.”
“Second, it is time for the world – especially Muslim communities – to explicitly, forcefully, and consistently reject the ideology of al Qaeda and ISIL.” As if they knew he would say this today (did they?), an international group of Muslim scholars today issued a purported refutation of the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam. Unfortunately, […]
Obama-backed Free Syrian Army group Harakat Hazm denounces U.S. airstrikes as “attack on the revolution”
“It has few other options.” How about this: don’t arm or aid any of America’s enemies. Speak realistically about the jihad threat, and seek to prevent jihad terror attacks at home. Or else go in with ground troops that aren’t crippled by politically correct Rules of Engagement, and crush the Islamic State, and then leave, […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: 6 Reasons Why the U.S. Should Not Arm the Syrian ‘Moderates’
In PJ Media I explain why this plan that both Democrats and Republicans is a recipe for disaster: Demonstrating yet again that we do not have an effective opposition party in the United States right now, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted Wednesday in favor of Barack Obama’s plan to arm and train “vetted” members […]
Is Obama whitewashing Bergdahl’s treason?
“A senior Army official told me court-martialing Bergdahl would ‘make the president look bad.’” And so a political embarrassment is shoved under the rug. “Is Obama whitewashing a traitor?,” by Paul Sperry, New York Post, September 20, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken): …Obama in May presented Bergdahl as a hero in announcing his release in […]
