[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghanistan National Security Council has dismissed the remarks by General Raheel Sharif ..Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... regarding Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain Chief Mullah Fazlullah ...son-in-law of holy man Sufi Mohammad. Known as Mullah FM, Fazlullah had the habit of grabbing his FM mike when the mood struck him and bellowing forth sermons. Sufi suckered the Pak govt into imposing Shariah on the Swat Valley and then stepped aside whilst Fazlullah and his Talibs imposed a reign of terror on the populace like they hadn't seen before, at least not for a thousand years or so. For some reason the Pak intel services were never able to locate his transmitter, much less bomb it. After ruling the place like a conquered province for a year or so, Fazlullah's Talibs began gobbling up more territory as they pushed toward Islamabad, at which point as a matter of self-preservation the Mighty Pak Army threw them out and chased them into Afghanistan... as baseless after he claimed that the TTP leader should be targeted inside the Afghan soil.
NSC front man Tawab Ghorzang told news hounds in Kabul ...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... on Sunday that TTP fighters including Mullah Fazlullah are not in Afghanistan and Pakistain should act based on Quadrilateral Coordination Group agreement and take actions against Afghan Taliban in its soil.
He said it is TTP, Al Qaeda terrorist network, Taliban, Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... n and other terrorist groups that threatening Afghanistan and the region.
Ghorzang further added that Afghanistan believes the blame game will not yield any results and it would be better if actions are taken based on the QCG agreements and terror groups must be targeted which are currently operating against Afghanistan in Pak territory.
The remarks by Ghorzang comes as Gen. on Friday asked the United States to target the hideouts of Pak Taliban, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and the group’s leader Mullah Fazlullah in Afghanistan.
Gen. Sharif raised the demand during a meeting with the senior US officials at the General Headquarters of the Mighty Pak Army.
The senior US officials included the Commander Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan General John Nicholson and US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistain Richard Olson.
Gen. Sharif also claimed that "Pakistain will not allow Indian and Afghan intelligence agencies to foment terrorism in the country."

A senior Turkish government official has denied reports of a deal between Ankara and Germany about the latter’s request to set up a temporary military facility inside the İncirlik Air Base, describing news reports on the issue as “speculation.”
“There is a request issued by Germany on the İncirlik Base. But no decision has been made about this request. The request is there but assessments other than that are nothing but speculations,” Deputy Prime Minister Nurettin Canikli told reporters after the cabinet meeting on June 13.

[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump called on President Barack Obama Jedi mind meld... to resign from office because he did not say the words "radical Islam," in a statement in response to the Orlando massacre where 50 people were killed.
"Because our leaders are weak, I said this was going to happen - and it is only going to get worse," Trump said in a statement. "I am trying to save lives and prevent the next terrorist attack. We can't afford to be politically correct anymore."
Trump's campaign said he will address the attacks in a speech he already had scheduled to deliver on Monday addressing national security and responding to criticism from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton ... sometimes described as For a good time at 3 a.m. call Hillary and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Charles Evans Hughes ... .

"and responding to criticism from Democratic rival Hillary Clinton."
Now that will be interesting. He supported her last week and this week she dared to say Islamic Terrorism (after the polls showed her which way the wind was blowing).
The wife of Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen was right by his side as he bought ammunition, and even drove him once to the Pulse nightclub — but tried talking him out of an attack there, according to a new report.
Officials told NBC News Noor Zahi Salman, Mateen’s second wife, might face criminal charges for failing to tell authorities what she knew before the Sunday attack. Salman said she was with Mateen as he bought ammo and a holster. She also took him to Pulse at least once to scope it out, according to NBC. But Salman said she tried talking her husband out of a violent attack.
She says that now...
Mateen was seen at Pulse, as well the Disney Springs entertainment complex, earlier this month, CNN reported. The day before the Orlando attack, he was reportedly seen at Disney Springs for several hours, alone.
Salman was spotted Tuesday for the first time since the massacre — shielding her face from news cameras as she left the Florida home she once shared with the madman. She left the home shortly after midnight, with a small group of people and police officers. A WSVN reporter captured Salman pulling a white hood over her face as she stepped into the backseat of a car, apparently with the couple’s son. The reporter said the home had been burglarized,
What did the 'burglars' make off with -- evidence?
and Salman came to collect her belongings.
Few details are known about Salman and her marriage to the budding terrorist. Public records say Salman, 30, lived in a Chicago suburb before moving into Mateen’s Fort Pierce home in 2012, and then buying a house with him in Port Saint Lucie the next year.
But in December 2015, she apparently moved across the country to live with her family in Rodeo, Calif., records show.
Salman grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and attended Heald College-Concord, a local school that is now defunct.
But after she married Mateen, he kept her from coming back home.
“Her mother would always complain that the husband did not let her visit the family,” a neighbor, Sarwar Kaur, told the San Jose Mercury News.
He said he only saw Salman return once, after the death of her father.
Salman’s family seemed to keep to themselves.
He was a quiet man...
“We never really know who lives next door to us,” neighbor Glauber Franchi said.
Mateen’s father, Seddique Mateen, claimed Salman and the couple’s son were with Mateen only a few months ago — when he became enraged by seeing gay men in Miami kissing in front of his family. The father said the incident may have made Mateen snap, eventually leading to him murdering 49 people at Orlando’s Pulse gay nightclub.
Apparently that is a lie, according to news reports from other people who knew the man...
But some Pulse regulars have said Mateen was spotted in the club several times in recent years, and chatted with gay men through dating apps like Grindr.
Grindr declined comment about the reports, citing ongoing investigations.

So she wanted him to attack somewhere else? Either way, Trump was right again. The close family knew what was going on. Seize everything and put her a$$ in prison then withdraw her citizenship and export her to Africa where she can live the life she's always dreamed of.

Kathryn Russell Tsarnaev. Yes, the wife of the late 'Boston Bomber' who shuffled around numerous pressure cookers [which she may have helped purchase] as well as industrial strength fireworks in what was reported as 'a very cramped apartment.'
In a July 30, 1996, internal CIA memo, headlined "Hold the Press," a CIA analyst warned his unnamed superior of an impending FBI report on a likely missile strike. This was less than two weeks after the July 17 crash.
After interviewing 144 witnesses, the FBI missile team insisted there was a "high probability" that a surface-to-air missile destroyed the airplane. According to the FBI report, the evidence was "overwhelming." The witnesses were "excellent" and their testimony "too consistent" for the cause to be anything other than a missile.
From the beginning, the CIA's job was to make all talk of missiles go away. Less than two weeks after the crash, the CIA analyst boasted to his superior of how he discouraged the FBI from pursuing the missile angle. In fact, the FBI did not go public with this report at the time even though it had "only minor corrections left to make," and the CIA made sure it never would. Longtime readers may recall that, at the time, Debka was reporting that TWA 800 had been shot down by an Al Qaeda operative using a MANPAD.
The ex-wife of Orlando mass killer Omar Mateen claimed Monday that she believed he was homosexual — as it was revealed that he frequented the gay nightclub where he staged the nation’s worst massacre in modern times.
Sitora Yusufiy, who was married to Mateen in 2009 for three months, made the shocking claim on Brazilian television station SBT Brazil.
Her fiancé, Marco Dias, speaking in Portuguese on her behalf, said that Yusufiy believed that Mateen had “gay tendencies” and that his father had called him gay in front of her. Dias also claimed “the FBI asked her not to tell this to the American media.”
That is a much more interesting claim than Mateen's orientation...
The bombshell came as a male former classmate of Omar Mateen said he had been asked out romantically by the mass killer, who reportedly was a virtual regular at the Pulse nightclub, having visited it more than a dozen times over the years. The former classmate said he would hang out with Mateen, hitting gay bars after attending class at Indian River Community College police academy in 2006 — and one time Mateen asked him out “romantically,” according to the Palm Beach Post.
“We went to a few gay bars with him, and I was not out at the time, so I declined his offer,” the former classmate told the paper.
The classmate told the paper he thought the killer, who pledged allegiance to ISIS before killing 49 at the Pulse gay nightclub, was gay and in the closet.
The classmate’s claims came after reports emerged that Mateen frequented the club for years before Sunday’s massacre.
“It’s the same guy,” Chris Callen, a drag queen who performs under the name Kristina McLaughlin, told the Canadian Press. “He’s been going to this bar for at least three years.”
Callen’s husband, Ty Smith, recalled seeing Mateen being escorted drunk from the club.
“Sometimes he . . . would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,” he told the Orlando Sentinel.
At least four Pulse club-goers remembered seeing Mateen at least a dozen times in the past. But authorities said they had no further information when asked about the sightings on Monday. NBC reported that the FBI was looking into his alleged club visits.
“[He’d get] really, really drunk,” Smith told the Canadian Press. “He couldn’t drink when he was at home — around his wife, or family. His father was really strict . . . He used to bitch about it.”
Callen and Smith said they both stopped speaking to Mateen when he threatened them with a knife, after someone made a joke about religion.
“He ended up pulling a knife,” Callen explained. “He said if he ever messed with him again, you know how it’ll turn out.”
They also shot down claims that Mateen had snapped after seeing two men kissing each other in public.
“That’s bullcrap, right there. No offense. That’s straight-up crap. He’s been around us,” Smith said. “Some of those people did a little more than (kiss) outside the bar…He was partying with the people who supposedly drove him to do this?”
Makes you wonder where the claim came from. The news says Daddy but Daddy isn't talking right now...
Kevin West, another regular at Pulse, told the Los Angeles Times that Mateen used gay dating apps on a regular basis and even messaged him on the gay dating app, Jack’d. He even saw Mateen an hour before the shooting.
“He walked directly past me. I said, ‘Hey,’ and he turned and said, ‘Hey,’ ” and nodded his head, recalled West. “I could tell by the eyes [it was him].”
One Orlando man, who refused to be named, told MSNBC that he had seen photos of Mateen on several gay dating apps, including Grindr, Adam4Adam, and Jack’d. He claimed that at least two of the man’s friends had been contacted by Mateen on the apps in the past.
“He was very creepy in his messages, and I blocked him immediately,” the man said.

There are many terrorists. Some are gay, some are straight. Some are black, some are white. Some are whatever, others the opposite. But, 99.9% share a common attribute.
#2
He felt shame because his dad preached it was so wrong to be gay and decided the best way to heaven was to be the Islamic punisher and issue Allan's vengeance upon them where he would be saved.
Sounds like a lie several religions have preached to get people to do their dirty work.
"...The rifle used by the Islamist terrorist in Orlando was instead a Sig Sauer MCX carbine, a modular, multi-caliber (able to swap to different calibers, including 5.56 NATO, 300 BLK, and 7.62Ă39) rifle system that sometimes utilizes STANAG magazines common to more than 60 different firearms, but otherwise has no major parts that interface with AR-15s in any way, shape or form.
This of course, will make no difference at all to the anti-gun politimedia, who don’t particularly care about factual accuracy and who likely wouldn’t be able to tell an AR-15 from a toaster oven if their lives depended on it."...

So every firearm used in a mass shooting by some psychopathic nut is a Glock or an AR-15? BTW, the preferred journalistic psychopathic nut is a conservative, Tea Party member or Trump supporter.
#2
The writer, Bob Owens, is wrong. Sig Sauer offers the upper separately, stating it is compatible with a mil std AR-15 lower receiver. I didn't find a part number, though.
It is a good looking upper. Kind of like the LMT MRP (which I like better).

The antigun nuts only know two "assault rifles"
AR-15 and the AK-47. Everything that looks like them falls into those categories.
When Omar Mateen opened fire with his military style AR-15 assault rifle
An AR-15 is not an assault rifle, and as we're now being told, Mateen didn't use an AR-15...
't a gay nightclub in Orlando, there was one man who recognized the sound, a war veteran.
Imran Yousuf, a bouncer at the Pulse nightclub, never saw the gunman in the early Sunday morning hours. Right after last call, he was making his rounds, and barely missed coming face-to-face with Mateen.
Yousuf, a 24-year-old Hindu,
...must be a convert. Imran Yousuf sounds Arab-Muslim to me...
served as a U.S. Marine in Afghanistan. On Saturday night, the combat zone followed him to Orlando. He ended up saving dozens of lives.
"The initial one was three or four (shots). That was a shock. Three of four shots go off and you could tell it was a high caliber," he said. "Everyone froze. I'm here in the back and I saw people start pouring into the back hallway, and they just sardine pack everyone."
Yousuf knew just beyond that pack of panicked people -- was a door -- and safety. But someone had to unlatch it.
'And I'm screaming 'Open the door! Open the door!' And no one is moving because they are scared," he explained. "There was only one choice. Either we all stay there and we all die, or I could take the chance, and I jumped over to open that latch a we got everyone that we can out of there.'..."
How many people went through the door?
"Probably over 60, 70. As soon as people found that door was open they kept pouring out and after that we just ran," he explained.
He saved a lot of people.
"I wish I could have saved more to be honest," he said through tears. "There are a lot of people that are dead ...there are a lot of people that are dead."
Before the interview, Yousuf told CBS News he hadn't really processed all the lives lost. But, once the combat vet started talking about it, the tears kept coming.
Good man. Thank you for your clear-headedness and bravery.

[GAWKER] Early Sunday morning, Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, perpetrating the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Mateen, his father explained the next day, had repeatedly been angered by the sight of two men kissing. But according to witnesses, Mateen was also a regular at the club and exchanged messages with at least one gay man on a gay dating app.
“It’s the same guy,” Chris Callen, who performs under the name Kristina McLaughlin, told the Canadian Press. “He’s been going to this bar for at least three years.”
Ty Smith, who also goes by the name Aries, also said he’d seen Mateen being escorted drunk from the club, Pulse, on multiple occasions.
“(He’d get) really, really drunk... He couldn’t drink when he was at home—around his wife, or family. His father was really strict... He used to bitch about it,” Smith told the Canadian Press.
“Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent,” Smith also explained to the Orlando Sentinel, which spoke with at least four clubgoers who remembered seeing Mateen at Pulse at least a dozen times. “We didn’t really talk to him a lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times... He told us he had a wife and child.”
Both Callen and Smith, who are married, tell the Canadian Press they stopped speaking to Mateen after he threatened them with a knife, apparently after someone made a joke about religion.
“He ended up pulling a knife,” Callen said. “He said if he ever messed with him again, you know how it’ll turn out.”

Absolution. Concur with RC - it appears that Mateen's motive was the same as Muhammad Youseff Abdulazziz' (Chattanooga shooter) - he sought martyrdom for absolution of his sin. Shame (from his father), alcohol, and the example of his martyr friend were a toxic combination.
[IsraelTimes] The following is a description of the deadly shooting rampage that unfolded at Orlando’s Pulse nightclub early Sunday, where 49 people were rubbed out and 53 others were maimed, according to authorities and witness accounts.
Gunman Omar Mateen was killed in a shootout with police.
Closing time: shooter on the scene
-- Just after 2:00 am as the club was closing, Mateen, a 29-year-old American of Afghan descent, opens fire.
-- An off-duty policeman working at the club engages the suspect, "somewhere near one of the entrances," according to Orlando Police Chief John Mina. Shots are fired.
-- Shortly after that, more officers respond to the scene and enter the club. More shots are fired.
-- At 2:09 am, the club posts a message on Facebook that reads: "Everyone get out of Pulse and keep running."
-- Clubgoer Christopher Hanson says he thought at first that the loud, rhythmic sounds were part of the music "until you heard too many shots. It was like, bang, bang, bang, bang."
"I just saw bodies going down and I was ordering a drink at the bar. I fell down. I crawled out. People were trying to escape out the back," he told CNN.
Hostages taken
-- Mateen, armed with an assault rifle and a handgun, retreats to a club bathroom, where Mina says he is believed to have held four or five hostages.
-- "It was like complete chaos. If I can relate it to anything, I would say it was like a scene out of a movie," witness Janiel Gonzalez tells AFP.
"People were screaming ’Help me, help me, I’m trapped.’ And people were getting trampled. There was no clear exit sign at the club, so we didn’t know which door to take or where to go."
-- One of the maimed, Angel Colon Jr, describes how Mateen moved through the club, shooting at each person on the ground to be sure they were dead.
Police fear ’bomb vests’ talk
-- After Mateen takes hostages, police are able to free "dozens and dozens of people" both injured and not injured, Mina says.
-- Mateen calls the emergency number 911 a total of three times, according to FBI Director James Comey.
"During the calls, he said he was doing this for the leader of ISIS, who he named and pledged loyalty to," Comey tells news hounds on Monday, referring to 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group. "But he also appeared to claim solidarity with the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing and solidarity with a Florida man who died as a jacket wallah in Syria for al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, a group in conflict with the so-called Islamic State."
-- Mateen also talks to crisis negotiators on the scene. "Things kind of stabilized," Mina says.
-- Eventually, Mateen talks about "bomb vests, about explosives throughout," Mina says. Police fear the worst and start planning to blast their way into the club.
Chaotic end
-- At 5:00 am, Mina says he takes the "hard decision" to move in, fearing that "further loss of life was imminent."
-- A SWAT team carries out a controlled kaboom. Police then use an armored vehicle to punch a hole in the wall of the club. Dozens of clubgoers escape through the hole.
-- Mateen also emerges and fires at law enforcement. He is killed in the crossfire.
-- One police officer is shot in the head, but his helmet saves his life.
-- "We believe we prevented a future loss of life and saved many, many lives," Mina says.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Orlando gunman who killed at least 50 and maimed many more, claimed to be loyal to a number of loyalist groups who are on opposing sides in the battlefield including Hezbollah and ISIS, US newspaper the Los Angeles Times reported.
Omar Mateen called 911 to say he was attacking the LGBT nightclub Pulse in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, swearing allegiance with ISIS.
The FBI's Director James Comey told the newspaper that since 2013 Mateen is known to have made a series elaborate claims linking his relatives to the Sunni terror network Al-Qaeda, while also claiming to have been a member of Hezbollah - the Iran-backed Shiite militia that operates in Leb. Both groups are known to oppose ISIS.
Comey said the contradictory comments and claims led to confusion surrounding his inspiration for Sunday’s devastating attack the newspaper report added.
In 2014, Comey added that the FBI again ’briefly’ investigated Mateen amid allegations that he had watched videos by Al Qaeda propagandist Anwar Awlaki. The killer also attended the same mosque as an American who became a jacket wallah for Al-Nusra Front in Syria which is also opposed to ISIS.
"During the calls [to 911] he said he was doing this for the leader of ISIS, who he named and pledged loyalty to," Comey told a presser on Monday using a different acronym for ISIS.
"But he also appeared to claim solidarity with the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing and solidarity with a Florida man who died as a suicide bomber in Syria for al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli sh-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front, a group in conflict with the so-called 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... He added: "The bombers at the Boston Marathon and the suicide bomber from Florida were not inspired by ISIS, which adds a little bit to the confusion about his motives."
He explained that in 2013 "he was working as a contract security guard at a local courthouse and he made statements that were inflammatory and contradictory that concerned his coworkers about terrorism.
"First, he claimed family connections to Al Qaeda. He also said that he was a member of Hezbollah, which is a Shia terrorist organization that is a bitter enemy of the so-called Islamic state, ISIS."
Whatever works to terrorize the unbelievers fulfills the commandment. On the other hand, the new line at NPR yesterday was that this proved the gentleman is really just crazy, rather than a proper jihadi. It seems to me that being crazy is no bar to going a-jihading, and for Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a decided advantage.

Well it appears to me that the current administration spin on this tragedy is unraveling rapidly.
#5
These kinds of massacres occur pretty much every day in some part of the Islamic world. In the parts they don't the secret police tends to be good and feared.
As for ISSI v Al Nusra, I've said before designating brand X good and brand Y bad is just ridiculous.
#6
Shiite Iran sheltered Al Qaeda families and fighters after 9/11, so clearly the Sunni/Shiite divide is not absolute when there is prsent or future advantage to be gained.
Out here in Dar al Harb, the difference between Al Nusra and ISIS is like between tartar control Crest toothpaste and whitening Crest; Hizb'allah by comparison is Colgate brand toothpaste. All will clean your teeth, freshen your breath, and prevent cavities. Out here, or even Hamas in Gaza, jihadis will take what they can from whoever will give it to accomplish the shared goal of local terror leading to worldwide conquest.
#7
mateen was a psychopath and a confused one at that
sometimes gay, sometimes homophobic
sometimes al qaeda, sometimes ISIS, sometimes Hezbollah
but his massacre was done in the name of Islam and was almost certainly based on some personalized understanding of Islamic theology
anybody who pretends otherwise is being tendentious

Fred TW is pushing P&G stuff again!
Unilevers Pepsodent product is equal at cleansing and has Pepsin a digestive agent which breaks down that tough piece of Brisket between your molars. It is a price leader, recommended for old and young, black and white, rich or poor.
[DAILYCALLER] The FBI reportedly cancelled its 2013 investigation into Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen after only 10 months because they viewed the terroristic threats he made as a reaction to "being marginalized because of his Moslem faith," by his coworkers.
You'd have to be a progressive to believe that, and unfortunately, that's just who is in charge...
According to Fox News’ Catherine Herridge, the revelation came during a closed door meeting with FBI Director James Comey Monday afternoon.
"Director Comey confirmed to news hounds this morning that there was a full FBI investigation of Omar Mateen in 2013," she explained. "It was 10 months in length, and it was opened after he told his coworkers that he had family connections to Al Qaeda, that he was a member of a Shi’a terrorism organization and that he hoped law enforcement would raid his home and assault his wife so that he could then retaliate and martyr himself."
"That investigation was very extensive," Herridge continued. "It involved the use of confidential informants -- also surveillance -- by the FBI as well as two in person interviews with Mateen."
"At the end of 10 months the investigation was closed with no further action. They took Mateen’s statements he was trying to taunt his coworkers because he thought he was being marginalized because of his Moslem faith."
In other words, he fooled the FBI...

I'm so glad we don't live in bad old times of racism and female subjugation.

Terrorist threats are reasonable coping mechanisms for perceived racism now? That the FBI agents could make that assessment about a man with clear domestic violence history and associations to jihadi videos and an actual suicide bomber friend from the same mosque shows how deep the rot has gone. In government, especially this democrat abomination, being even remotely seen as anti-Muslim is a career death sentence. We are deep shit.
The Obama administration is not pursuing the use of an executive order to shutter the Guantanamo Bay military prison after officials concluded that it would not be a viable strategy, sources familiar with the deliberations said. The conclusion, reached by administration officials, narrows the already slim chances that President Barack Obama can fulfill his pledge to close the notorious offshore prison before leaving office in January.
The White House has said repeatedly that Obama has not ruled out any options on the Guantanamo center, which has been used to house terrorism suspects since it was set up in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.
Obama is eager to fulfill his foolish 2008 campaign pledge to close the prison and could still choose to use his commander-in-chief powers, but the option is not being actively pursued, the sources said.

Whats so notorious about GITMO - the DemoLefties are angry because the GOP-Right had done the right thing + refuse to let any Hard/Bad Boyz run loose in America or Amerika.
In Chaos Theory, the “butterfly effect” is the name given to the sensitive connection between initial conditions in which an insignificant event in one state in non-linear systems, can result in sometimes catastrophic events in the universal state.
In other words, although unlikely, it is possible for a butterfly flapping its wings in Texas to cause a typhoon in the Japanese Sea.
Case in point, in mid-20th Century America, a loose 18-year-old hippie female in a Honolulu college had sex with an older, alcoholic Kenyan man on a student visa, who had a wife and child back in Africa. And this less than significant event started the collapse and dissolution of the United States of America.
1. The real story is - Obama continues to deny Justice for the families of the 9/11 victims. Move the Judge, defense and prosecutors down there and make them stay until the 9/11 trial is complete.
2. Establish a location to detain, interrogate, and prosecute captured terrorists. Detainee terrorists = actionable intel = additional targets.
3. Prosecute the detainees once intel collection is complete...whether it be in Federal Court, Commissions, or a host nation. Lawfare, warfare...I don't care - lets just get it done.

He could close Gitmo in a heartbeat. Just hold drumhead court-martials for the inmates. For those convicted of being illegal combatants, a firing squad. End of problem. All legal under the Geneva Conventions.

Seems to me only Congress could approve of shutting down and handing over a military base.
I predicted Sunday that Mateen was motivated by 1) Jihadi beliefs 2) anger and 3) repressed homosexuality. I'm beginning to think I got all three.
At least four regular customers at the Orlando gay nightclub where a gunman killed 49 people said Monday that they had seen Omar Mateen there before.
Which is rather interesting given that he lived over a hundred miles away, and had a wife and child at home...
"Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent," Ty Smith said.
Cord Cedeno and Chris Callen are other Pulse customers who told the Sentinel they had seen Mateen in the nightclub. Callen said he had witnessed violent outbursts by Mateen.

Groomed, directed sleeper on primary/secondary target recon.
U.S. authorities said on Monday they had found no direct links between Islamic State militants and the gunman who killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, describing him as a homegrown extremist who was inspired by radical Islamist groups.
The FBI and other agencies were still looking at evidence inside the club and on the closed-off streets around the Pulse nightclub, where New York-born Omar Mateen perpetrated the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history.
Mateen, 29, the son of Afghan immigrants, was shot and killed by police who stormed the club with armored cars early on Sunday morning after a three-hour siege.
"So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network," FBI Director James Comey said in Washington. "We're highly confident this killer was radicalized at least in some part through the internet."

He was a gay Muslim and eventually the homophobia of the faith (despite covert acceptance in his ancestral homeland of Afghanstan) caused self-hating and a violent response.
The security company that employed Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen also is a federal contractor for the Homeland Security and State departments -- raising more questions about how he passed background checks despite being on the FBI’s radar screen and the level of security at a firm handling sensitive U.S. operations.
Mateen, who killed 49 people and wounded dozens more early Sunday inside the gay nightclub Pulse, started working for G4S Secure Solutions in 2007 and until the attack was employed as an armed guard at a gated retirement community in South Florida.
The U.K.-based firm has a far-reaching portfolio that goes well beyond retirement villages, however, with its U.S. arm having become of the biggest government contractors since 9/11. This includes helping secure 40 U.S. embassies worldwide and working with U.S. agents on border patrol.
In a statement released Monday, the company expressed shock at the tragic attack and said they are cooperating with law enforcement.
But the FBI acknowledged having interviewed the 29-year-old Mateen in 2013 and 2014 about possible terror ties, raising questions about what G4S knew and what, if any, action the company took.
The company said Mateen passed company screenings -- including psychological and criminal checks -- when hired in 2007 and again in 2013. Spokeswoman Monica Lewman-Garcia said G4S in 2013 “learned” the FBI questioned Mateen and later closed its inquiries.
Both the FBI and G4S have to answer to that.
"He was also subject to checks by a U.S. law enforcement agency with no findings reported to G4S," the company said.
The company also states on its website: “Every G4S security officer participates in a training program that far exceeds industry standards, becoming a specialist trained to both recognize and react to unique hazards of an assigned post."
That's not the point: the point is when, and how, and how often, you reviewed his background.
At least one former G4S employee, Daniel Gilroy, says he raised numerous concerns with supervisors about Mateen’s hateful and potentially dangerous behavior. Gilroy told Fox News that he and Mateen had worked as security guards at the same South Florida resort and that Mateen, a Muslim, used “horrible words” at the sight of women and blacks and was in a constant state of “anger and rage.”
However, the company refused to take action on his complaints, and Gilroy was forced to quit last year after Mateen began sending him harassing text and phone messages, according to Florida Today.
“The company wouldn't do anything,” Gilroy told the paper. “This guy was unhinged and unstable. He talked of killing people."
FBI Director James Comey on Monday also detailed the nature of the original complaints the bureau received back in 2013. He said co-workers were concerned about "inflammatory and contradictory" statements he had made, including claiming family connections to Al Qaeda. Mateen later admitted making the statements but said he did so out of anger because he thought his co-workers were discriminating against him. The FBI closed the preliminary investigation, before briefly looking at him one more time in 2014.
G4S did not immediately respond to a request Monday by FoxNews.com asking whether Gilroy had indeed complained and if the company took any action in response.
They're huddling with their lawyers...
But the history of co-workers' complaints at a company that last year alone reportedly had $89.3 million in federal contracts raised more questions about Mateen’s continued employment and access to government information and sites.
G4S became one of the U.S. government’s biggest contractors after the 9/11 attacks.
G4S has 623,000 employees in 110 countries, including 54,000 in North America, reports show. The company’s U.S. headquarters is in Jupiter, Fla., about 150 miles southeast of Orlando, and offers a range of security services including guards and technology to several industries including retail and residential.
[IsraelTimes] Shares in the security company G4S fall over 5 percent after it emerges that the killer in the Orlando nightclub attack worked for the firm.
The company’s shares fall 9.6 pence to 177.80 on the London stock exchange after the company acknowledges that Omar Mateen worked for G4S at a residential community in south Florida. The company says Mateen was subject to a detailed screening and checks by US law enforcement, which reported no findings to G4S.
G4S came under fire during the 2012 London Olympics after failing to provide the number of security guards promised to protect the games. The British military had to be called in to fill the gap.

Even after you showed the company the harassing texts and phone messages? Or recordings of some of the hate filled diatribes for the bosses. Or did you skip the evidence part in this glorious age of PC insanity. Maybe I'm wrong here but that sounds a bit naive.
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] The sinful hands that rattled the Lebanese yesterday evening target the nation first and Hezbollah second, a statement issued by Speaker of the House Nabih Knobby Berri Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, a member of AMAL, a not very subtle Hizbullah sock puppet... 's press office said on Monday.
Berri's statement sounded the alarm on the true motives behind the blast that targeted BLOM bank headquarters in Verdun yesterday evening.
"All should beware of the true dimensions behind targeting the heart of the Lebanese capital by means of attacking its unique banking sector that has and still endures wars, as well as Israeli invasions and attempts to catch up with our expertise and free economic system," Berri's statement said.
"I urge all sides to adopt unified stances and rhetoric, and to avoid being influenced by the suspicious conspiracies that target Leb's future and unique formula," Berri's statement concluded.
A bomb went kaboom! Sunday evening outside a branch of the BLOM Bank in Beirut's Verdun area injuring two people.

[GAWKER] Early Sunday morning, Omar Mateen shot and killed 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando, perpetrating the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Mateen, his father explained the next day, had repeatedly been angered by the sight of two men kissing. But according to witnesses, Mateen was also a regular at the club and exchanged messages with at least one gay man on a gay dating app.
[DAILYCALLER] The FBI reportedly cancelled its 2013 investigation into Orlando terrorist Omar Mateen after only 10 months because they viewed the terroristic threats he made as a reaction to "being marginalized because of his
