Obama Administration Refuses to Label London Attack as Terrorism

In stark contrast, the Obama Administration’s response has been to avoid calling the attack terrorism, let alone terrorism motivated by a radical Islamic ideology. Instead the Administration, via the State Department, said it stood with the U.K. in the face of “such senseless violence.”

Senseless violence? One can hardly term a targeted attack on a U.K. soldier in broad daylight — where the assailants gleefully admit the radical motivation behind their attack — “senseless violence.”

Yet, use of this terminology is nothing new for the Obama Administration. “Senseless violence” is the Administration’s catch-all phrase loyally called upon whenever motivations for a despicable act should not be ascribed, lest someone take offense.

Particularly troubling is that “senseless violence” is the same terminology the Administration used when describing the terrorist attack in Benghazi that killed the American Ambassador and three other U.S. citizens.

perhaps it was a little example of “welfare-place violence”
(you know, like Obama’s “work-place violence?”

geeeeee, maybe a reporter can find the cajones to ask O just what kind of act WOULD IT TAKE for him to call ANY Islamic’s murderous violent attacks “terrorism?”

just wondering is all....
just wondering...

They have to call terrorism “senseless” lest their mask slip and they show that they agree with the purpose: the destruction of western civilization.

Actually, they just did that on Monday this week. See link.

It matters what Obama thinks and says. Because it is an indication of his love of Islam. Same for DCI Brennan (also a muslim).

I’m sure Europe enjoyed being lectured to by Kerry and Obama. Just when I think this bunch can’t get any worse . . .

Right you are. It’s not just Obama and his love for his fathers religion. It’s the progressive war on Christianity and Judaism. They long to use the tactics of the Muslims against their enemies and long for the slaughter of Israel.

I don’t think it will be long before Barry the Apologizer orders Eric the Holder to ban “the “T” word in America.

It was an act of war.

The administration’s reaction is outrageous.
