| Obama's Response To ISIS Murders: Better Stick To The Golf |
| 2015-02-05 |
[BREITBART] US President Barack Obama...I am not a dictator! is leader of the free world. Tough gig, but somebody has to do it. Trouble is, he seems utterly adrift when it comes to dealing with the day-to-day demands of such an onerous job description. Take Tuesday when he was asked for a reaction to ISIS releasing a video showing a captured Jordanian pilot being burned alive. Obama said: "You know, I just got word of the video that had been released. I don't know the details on the confirmation. Should in fact this video be authentic, it's just one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization. And I think we will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated. It also indicates the degree to which whatever ideology they are operating off of, it's bankrupt. We're here to talk about how to make people healthier and make their lives better. And this organization appears only interested in death and destruction. Thank you very much, everybody." It could have been worse. Obama could have finished by saying: "Anyone for golf?" If he had, plenty of people would have believed him given his track record of profound disengagement from the problems that beset the world. The clue to Obama's dreamy bemusement lies in the words: "whatever ideology they are operating off of, it's bankrupt." Go on Barack, take a quick stab at that ideology thing. Are they ‐ 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.... ‐ really an ideological terrorist cover for Presbyterianism? Radical Quakers? Mormons, Jews, Hindus or pastafarians? Is that their political/religious orientation? Maybe you could ask your lyrically named White House press secretary Josh Earnest for a clue. Or not. Remember Mr Earnest did all he could to dance around the words "radical Islam" in the wake of the terror attacks in La Belle France. He did so because it's about "accuracy." A news hound asked why the B.O. regime would not follow the French who "are calling the ideology, the warped view, by a name," and pointed out that Earnest fudged his chance. "Is there a reason for that?" "The first is accuracy," Earnest huffed. "These are individuals who carried out an act of terrorism and they later tried to justify an act of terrorism by invoking Islam and their own deviant view. The second is, this was an act that was condemned by Moslem leaders. We have not chosen to use that label because it does not accurately describe what happened." |
