And now the White House is “appalled.” It’s just jihad, after all. How appalling! Anyone up for a round of golf? “White House Knew of Recent ISIS Threat to Kill US Journalist,” by Arlette Saenz, ABC News, August 20, 2014: ISIS had recently threatened to kill U.S. journalist James Foley to avenge airstrikes the United […]
Obama delays arms shipments to Israel while confirming advanced arms sales to Turkey and Qatar
Does anyone still think that Barack Obama genuinely has any interest in maintaining the United States’ alliance with Israel? That anyone thought he did in the first place shows the power of the mainstream media in propagating falsehoods. Since the beginning of his political career, Obama has allied with the most venomous haters of Israel. […]
Morsi’s wife threatens to publish letters from Hillary Clinton, exposing “special relationship” between Muslim Brotherhood and Obama Administration
The wife of former Egyptian president Muhammad Morsi is the latest Muslim Brotherhood “insider” to threaten to expose the special relationship between Morsi and the Obama administration—a relationship the latter insists never existed. Nagla Mahmoud, Morsi’s wife, is reportedly angry at some statements recently made by Hillary Clinton, including that Morsi was “naïve” and “unfit […]
White House: U.S. is not at war with the Islamic State
“Right now, ISIL’s primary focus is consolidating territory in the Middle East region to establish their own Islamic State.” Yes, but they have made it abundantly clear that that is not their only goal, and that they desire ultimately to strike inside the United States. We are not at war with them, but they most […]
Obama lifts ban on Libyans in U.S. flight schools, training in nuke science
One ambassador and other Americans murdered by jihadis. A rogue state where jihad terrorists operate freely. What could possibly go wrong? “Obama Lifts Ban on Libyans Attending U.S. Flight Schools, Training In Nuke Science,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 12, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller): The Obama administration has lifted longtime restrictions on […]
Oklahoma counter-terrorism institute to close after losing funding
This makes sense. After all, the threat of terrorism is a thing of the past. There are no viable terror threats today. As Barack Obama said in June, “The world is less violent than it has ever been.” Why would the U.S. need a counter-terrorism institute in these calm, peaceful times? “Oklahoma Counter-Terrorism Institute To […]
Much of the US aid to Yazidis “useless” because it was dropped from 15,000ft without parachutes and exploded on impact
As far as the mainstream media is concerned, this doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is that Barack Obama is made to appear as if he is doing something for the Yazidis and against the Islamic State. That he actually do something effective is not required. “Iraq crisis: ‘It is death valley. Up to […]
“Moderate” Fatah brags that it has “killed 11,000 Israelis”
Just days ago, Barack Obama claimed that Mahmoud Abbas was “sincere in his desire for peace.” Yet Abbas is the head of Fatah. Surely the President couldn’t be wrong, or ignoring the facts about this, could he? “Fatah brags it killed 11,000 Israelis,” by Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch, August 10, 2014: Mahmoud Abbas’ Fatah […]
We’re training the Taliban to kill us — and take back Afghanistan
The lunacy of the administration’s Afghanistan strategy has often been featured at Jihad Watch. Here is a good summary piece about it. “We’re training the Taliban to kill us — and take back Afghanistan,” by Paul Sperry, New York Post, August 9, 2014: The assassination of an American general by a Taliban terrorist posing as […]
Obama says it was not his decision to withdraw troops from Iraq
Note how he says that if we still had troops on the ground in Iraq, they would increase his headaches, as they’d have to be reinforced. He doesn’t consider the possibility that if he had not left Iraq so precipitously and then boasted about doing so, the Islamic State might not exist today. This is […]
