Murphy: Trump Rhetoric Could Lead to Terrorist Attack in U.S.
2017-05-24
[FreeBeacon] Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.) is worried that rhetoric from the Trump administration could lead to a major terror attack in the United States.
We can tell by the heavy wrinkling of his brow and the tilted head creating the classic concerned expression...
Appearing on CNN Tuesday, Murphy said that the U.S. needs "a commitment to try to stop giving ISIS recruiters recruitment fodder."

CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Murphy for his response to the terrorist attack in Manchester, England during an Ariana Grande concert.
Unexplained is any reason why we should care about the honourable senator's opinion about anything.
The attack killed 22, including eight-year-old Saffie Roussos. Murphy said that responses to such an attack required a comprehensive approach.

"We have got to complement this military strategy with increased intelligence, increased intelligence sharing with Europe, and a commitment to try to stop giving ISIS recruiters recruitment fodder," Murphy said, emphasizing his belief that enemies of ISIS were providing such fodder.

"And so many of us are worried," Murphy continued, "about some of the rhetoric of the Trump administration, because we worry that that combined with robust online recruitment might end up in an attack like this happening in the United States."
Awaiting his "I told you so." moment.

#17  If Sen Murphy has his way 'potential ISIS recruits' i.e. pretty much the general Muslim populace will impose their will on the West using the threat of armed force.

Muslims would be winners, not 'evil losers', their winning enabled by Western masochism.

This recipe for ending asymmetrical war is surrender.

#16  Being 'understanding' and 'compassionate' is seen as weakness and it encourages the bad guys.

#15  Worth repeating, CNN= Supermarket weekly of cable news.

Although someone mentioned that it's an insult to real supermarket weeklies.

#14  We still have the Donk lefty appeasement crowd around. A few more terrorist's attacks on the U.S. and a few more election cycles and we should be rid of both terrorists and appeasers.

#12  "Leaders" like him aren't leaders at all. We're at war. Fuck the enemy. I don't want to motivate or de-motivate them--I want them killed.

#9  You mean 'Another one'?

Idiot. There will be another one again, but this time we won't just clutch our collective sphincters and whine how we oppress them. We will actually arrest and/or kill the fucks that want to kill us.

#8  ...something about 'total war' with little regard to the feelings of those mixed in and among the belligerents.

#6  Given how many illegals have left since President Trump was sworn in, it seems likely wannabe jihadis have quietly been leaving, too, for more congenial environments.

tl;dr: What Besoeker said.

I suspect just the opposite is actually true.

#3  A couple of attacks *have* happened in the US you idiot! Just because you refuse to call them *ISLAMIC* *TERRORIST* *ATTACKS* doesn't mean they aren't.

Being 'understanding' and 'compassionate' doesn't work - we have 8 years of proof of that. Didn't work out very well did it?

Time for some good old fashioned killing. And yes - it does solve the problem most of the time.
