In which the honorable US Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
points out that we can't possibly do anything until we have evidence that will stand up in court. |
[IsraelTimes]. Al-Qaedas branch in Yemen said it directed assault, while one of killers apparently pledged allegiance to 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....
Sunday
there was no credible information as yet that al-Qaeda was behind the attacks in La Belle France that killed 17 people.
| They claimed it? Go get 'em. And there's evidence of allegiance to the other guys? Go get them, too. If later a third party appears culpable, apologize to the ghosts of the first two, and wipe out the third. Let there be a proper reward -- Darwin's reward. As pro-science types, Mr.Holder, et al must be all for that. |
Holder spoke as dozens of heads of states joined hundreds of thousands of people in a massive display of unity and defiance against terrorism on the streets of Gay Paree.
| Or possibly 3.7 million -- such things are hard to say until the experts have looked at the overhead photographs of the crowd. |
At this point, we dont have any credible information that would allow us to make a determination as to which organization was responsible for the attacks this week, Holder said in an interview from Gay Paree with ABCs This Week.
Well certainly have to see exactly who was responsible (to) determine what kind of retaliation would be appropriate, he said. But we stand in solidarity with the French.
The White House, meanwhile, announced it was organizing a February 18 summit on how to fight violent extremism around the world.
The gathering will bring together all of our allies to discuss ways in which we can counteract this violent extremism that exists around the world, Holder said.
Only if we work together, through sharing of information, by pooling our resources, will we ultimately be able to defeat those who are in a struggle with us about our fundamental values.
In a statement, the White House said the summit would highlight US and international efforts to prevent the radicalization and recruitment of followers in the United States and other countries by krazed killer groups. |
