Jihad in the White House. They have their man in there and he is unbowed. Despite the rivers of innocent Christian blood, a dozen beheaded for their faith, the Obama administration cannot condone the strikes against the Islamic State. So why does he want AUMF (authorization for use of military force)?
Who is he going to use it against? Our allies. He has already helped to arm the Islamic State. We are under siege — there is no way Congress should authorize AUMF under this traitor.
The Islamic State is slaughtering en masse, kidnapping, gang-raping and selling young non-Muslim girls, and is reportedly harvesting organs to fund its operations, according to an Iraqi official. Iraq’s envoy to the U.N. told the Security Council that some bodies in mass graves had incisions and were missing kidneys, and that ISIS executed a dozen doctors who refused to harvest organs. But Obama cannot condone or condemn.
The Obama administration was given multiple chances Wednesday to endorse a long-time ally’s airstrikes on America’s biggest enemy at the moment, the so-called Islamic State. Over and over again, Obama’s aides declined to back Egypt’s military operation against ISIS. It’s another sign of the growing strain between the United States and Egypt, once one of its closest friends in the Middle East.
This shouldn’t be a complete surprise; Cairo, after all, didn’t tell Washington about its strikes on the ISIS hotbed of Derna, Libya. Still, Wednesday’s disconnect was jarring. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest passed on a reporter’s question about an endorsement of Egypt’s growing campaign against ISIS. So did State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki.
“We are neither condemning nor condoning” the Egyptian strikes, is all one U.S. official would tell The Daily Beast.
In other words, these once-close nations are now fighting separate campaigns against their mutual foe. And that could prove to be very good news for ISIS. The rift between U.S. and the region’s most populous country portends of another division that ISIS could exploit, this time for its expansion into northern Africa and the broader Middle East.
U.S. officials privately said they do not have a better idea for confronting the threat and the ongoing strains between the two nations has led to a breakdown of trust.
“The Egyptian military, in particular, is very frustrated with us,” one U.S. government official explained to the Daily Beast. “It is mutual frustration.”
At a briefing with reporters Wednesday, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby called the relationship with Egypt “complicated.”
“We are constantly reviewing our relationship with Egypt,” Kirby said.
This treachery has been going on for a long time under various presidents. American people want to do the right thing, but when they are lied to and presented with so much propaganda it/s hard to tell what the right thing is.
Hollywood is a huge problem as far as propaganda is concerned. Most of people in that industry simply adore Obama and spread his rubbish. Just ask Ben Affleck.
nahhh....but they’ll make sure Iran gets nukes, won’t they?
Of course it is. They backed the other side, and now have no idea what to do.
Obama won’t commit to approval because he is still trying to figure out how to call ISIS rebels against Syria’s Assad and to arm and supply them. That’s why.
This administration is depraved
As long as zero stays out of Egypt’s way, I’m happy.
This is why Christians are going to help the Kurds fight. It is obvious this administration is on the side of the Islamists.
Rudy is right.
They already have nukes; most likely just working on a delivery system now.
“Imam Obama isn’t helping Egypt because the titty-baby is all mad that his muslim brotherhood friends are now locked up or have been kicked out of the country”
Dead on
It should be obvious that 0 is doing all he can to protect his best buddies.
There is no longer any doubt who this administration is in bed with.
“Giuliani was right. Obama hates America. Every action — or lack of action — proves it.”
I really find it hard to understand why this statement is even in dispute and has made such a media driven story.
Every leftist I know tells me they do not love America and that patriotism is just boob bait for bubbas. They bray about it.
I seriously cannot think of one action taken by this administration in six years that strengthened our security or protected our interests. It seems obvious he not only has no love for America, but wants to see great harm come to her (on his successor’s watch, of course).
And died in the wool democrats will fight tooth and nail to prove you wrong...no matter the evidence.
For some, it's all about party.
For some, it's all about race.
For some it's naivete.
For others, it's all about hating America
“It seems obvious he not only has no love for America, but wants to see great harm come to her (on his successor’s watch, of course).”
Preparation of the battlefield.
The Grand Jihad
How Islam And The Left Sabotage America.
Good summary mountn man. Thanks. Next up…it’s all about gender. Assemble the amplifiers.
Obama wants this new rule so the obamites can remove Assad, last man standing between the ISIL-ruled caliphate and the eastern Mediterranean
“I really find it hard to understand why this statement is even in dispute and has made such a media driven story.”
Listen carefully. It’s not in dispute. I believe that FINALLY we struck a really, really sensitive nerve in the average DEM walnut-sized brain. It is impossible for them to defend, but they can’t ignore it.
