| Top Republican: Obama request for Islamic State fight lacks US House backing |
| 2015-04-14 |
[Ynet] US President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... 's request for congressional authorization of military force to fight the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... does not have enough support to pass the US House of Representatives, the chamber's second-ranking Republican said Monday. "I do not see a path to 218 (a majority of House votes) with what the president sent up," said House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... , adding the plan "would weaken our ability to respond to the current situation." |

| #2 The former Bush government delivered the following in 2009 in foreign affairs to Obama: - an Iraq free of the psychopathic crime gang family of Saddam Hussein that had tortured the population under totalitarianism for decades. Iraq had gone through both democratic elections and a sectarian civil war after the 2006 bombing of the shia al-Askari mosque. The troop surge had reduced the violence greatly and as Obama took office a fresh election was held in Iraq. - that same troop surge scattered and smashed Islamic State in Iraq. But in 2010 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi seized the group after Obama, who presided over the troop withdrawal instead of renewing the surge, provide the space where it could replenish itself. So that's what Baghdadi did. He built it up again and he used former Ba'ath military and intel offices straight from Saddam. they knew where the weapons were hidden for one thing. they knew how to be sadists for another, as they learnt from the master. Obama presided over a troop withdrawal when with the benefit of hindsight the opposite was needed. We now have IS running rampant over parts of Iraq and Syria. Obama has cocked it up. If he wants to stop cocking it up he should declare the Caliphate the enemy with its primary ideology being fascist Islamism and sharia. Then we can ban sharia in our domestic nations, treat the caliphate as a foreign entity and charge anyone who follows sharia diktats against domestic law with treason right now they cannot be charged as they are not legally able to be called agents of a foreign power. with the caliphate, they can be. however obumbles won't do this because the intelligence community is still - wrongly - putting its faith in Islamic regional state partners such as Saudi Arabia who put the pressure on to do things like use the weasel word "daesh" for Islamic State. The opposite is what is really needed. but that's not what we've got. |
