Obama Seeks "Fuller Understanding" of What Happened in Algeria Siege

President Barack Obama offered on Saturday to provide any assistance the Algerian government needs after a deadly hostage siege at a desert gas plant and said the United States was seeking a "fuller understanding" from Algerian authorities of what took place there.

"The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria," Obama said in his first comments on the hostage crisis.

Obama's written statement was issued by the White House after the Algerian army carried out a dramatic final assault to end a siege by Islamist militants in which 23 hostages were killed, many of them believed to be foreigners.

The statement made no mention of Americans who were caught up in the hostage crisis.

What’s to understand? Terrorists take hostages. Terrorists kill hostages. Army kills terrorists. Terrorist leaders get away. Obama perplexed. Islamists unpredictable.

Don’t worry. Hillary will find her memories on a bookshelf later, after it’s all moot.

Same strategy as all of the attacks... (need more time to screw around and avoid the truth) seeking a fuller understanding of what happened (so that I can ignore it and I can’t believe that muslims won’t give me a break with this crap)

BS. He and his administration knew what was going to happen. They should be tried for treason.

Obama wants a fuller understanding, huh? I guess that means he finished his golf game and he’s off the course now.

He stood with the Muslims, just as he said he would do, when the winds shifted against them. Knowing they had the great Satan in their corner, they did what armed Muslims always do. Raped, pillaged and killed the infidel.

Not understanding why he does not understand his ‘success’. He did what he said he would do and they did what history shows they will do.

Simple.

fuller understanding? He is the President of the United States. Why doesn’t he know what happened? Or more importantly why wasn’t he in the loop?
