Obama On Widening ISIS Threat: 'We Have Contained Them'
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 11-13-15

Posted on 11/14/2015 1:05:08 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

Jihad: Amid fresh terror strikes in Paris and Beirut, and the FBI arrest of an Ohio Islamic State operative who sought to kill U.S. soldiers and American shoppers and students, President Obama downplays the IS threat.

'ISIS is gaining strength, aren't they?" ABC's Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos asked the president Friday, citing this month's suicide bombings in Beirut and the bombing of a Russian commercial jetliner by the Islamic State, which killed 40 and 244, respectively.

"I don't think they're gaining strength," Obama asserted. "We have contained them."

This may go down as one of the most irresponsible statements uttered by this president. For nothing could be further from the truth.

Just hours after his remarks, Muslim terrorists carried out simultaneous attacks on at least three targets in the heart of Paris, where in February an IS foot soldier shot up a Jewish deli and took hostages.

Dozens have been killed, say new reports. Terror experts suspect that this latest round of attacks is the handiwork of the IS caliphate, which, contrary to Obama's fantasies, is projecting its power farther and farther from its base in Iraq and Syria.

In fact, it is now an existential threat to the American homeland. Within days of the IS-inspired stabbing of four on a California college campus, the FBI Thursday arrested an IS agent in Akron, Ohio, who solicited the murder of more than 100 U.S. service members.

Please, Dear God, rid this nation from the leadership of fools.

And for the Catholic “leadership” of our Catholic clegy, even the Pope has condemned this heinous crime.

I’m beginning to despise people with those stupid “Coexist “ bumper stickers almost as much as I despise the Muslims who do things like the Paris attacks. They are collaborators.

And 10,000 future terrorists claiming to be Syrian “refugees” have just arrived, coming to a city near you. Don’t you feel safer already? /s

Perhaps it's finally time to start keying THEIR cars, like they always scrape ours when they see a bumper sticker they don't like.

They have spent the last 50 years telling us how much they hate us. Is this, now, after Mizzou, Yale, and now Paris, finally the time to reciprocate?

They are collaborators.

You mean like the "press/media"?

The same who feel that they are impervious but will depend upon us peons to defend THEM if need be?

The pen may be said to be mightier than the sword, but now swords are approaching the necks of the pen holders (and those that they have been protecting).

I read this. And I literally am moved to tears. Not of sorrow, but of visceral fear. Lies of a man elected to DEFEND our nation, who on every account appears to be a traitor. Of a weak kneed congress praying to just get to the next election, and a public a wash in propaganda and normalcy bias.

I am truly frightened of the day.

The first letter on the sticker shows who rules all the others beneath it ...

Those people who stick such things on their cars advertise their collective stupidity.

And his approval rating today is 46%!

With this kind of leadership, and 46% approving of the lies, how long can this go on?

Now that ISIS is contained, Zer0 can go and play another round of golf. Make that two rounds of golf. Maybe some time with Reggie Love too.

Which pretty much includes minorities, left wing idiots, and entitlement junkies. That number will never go much below that.
