Amb. John Bolton: Two critical conclusions from Orlando terror attack
Fox News ^ | June 12, 2016 | Amb. John Bolton

Posted on 06/12/2016 3:50:44 PM PDT by jazusamo

Sunday brought the latest terrorist attack in America, the largest mass shooting in U.S. history, with all its attendant tragedy. Words cannot adequately describe the horror that engulfed the scene of this massacre, caused by one Omar Mir Seddique Mateen.

Beyond the human cost, however, also lies the tragedy that Barack Obama, speaking even as it became clear that the murderer was a radical Islamic terrorist, is still unable or unwilling to draw the appropriate conclusions. The president’s remarks omitted any linkages between the cold-blooded murders, the terrorist’s ideology, and the broader international threat that motivated the Orlando killer and perhaps others yet unknown.

We will, in the coming days, doubtless hear that the terrorist was a lone wolf, that he did not belong to any known terrorist organization, that there are no wider threats. In particular, those who are blind to the terrorist threat will downplay even the incontrovertible fact that Mateen pledged loyalty to ISIS as he committed his murders.

Two critical conclusions follow immediately from Sunday’s tragic reality, one with immediate implications for our domestic safety, and one for conducting the broader international war against terrorism.

Obama’s resolve and determination are AWOL.

John Bolton is dead on the mark!

And, don’t forget, Ambassador Bolton, they were gay guys. It could never happen to the rest of us, could it?

We tell (that is, Trump tells) Saudi and Erdogan that Mecca gets nuked, if this happens again, and you watch everything die down.

Yes, if you saw President Narcissus’s Press Conference today on the Orlando shooting, he was cold and unemotionally robotic.

It truly seemed like he was SO DISSPOINTED that having a Muzzie shooting up gays will work against him in 3 ways:

1) It will stall his plans for Islamification of America because the sheeple will FINALLY wake up and realize that Islam is the enemy to Western values of liberty.

2) It will throw a huge wrench in his Syrian Terrorist “Refugee” immigration plans. “Build the wall” will be ever so relevant in forthcoming days.

3) It will start the long overdue process of polarizing gays and the left against Islam. After all, Islam hates everything Gays/Hollywood/Feminists stand for. Finally they’ll get it.

Trump should orchestrate a healing event between gays and conservatives on this occasion because we all have a common enemy: Radical Islam.

Obama promised to ‘transform America’, and the ‘republican’ controlled Congress has given him the funds to do exactly that.

I'm looking at the gay bit as a red herring. It was a convenience thing AND I'm sure he's been in there a few times for surveillance purposes.

If Obummer had been president 75 years ago, Dec. 7 1941, he would have called a special session of Congress to pass more gun control laws to prevent Americans from buying guns.

In the short term, he is right. Long term, with plummeting birth rates, you cannot stop the caliphate.

John Bolton is completely full of sh!t. We've been through this a number of times here on FreeRepublic, so I figured I'd re-post an old thread where his role in supporting radical Islamic terrorists in Kosovo was discussed:

NATO Must Act in Kosovo

John Bolton would be completely silent if this had been an attack on a Serbian night club carried out by a Muslim extremist from Kosovo.

It’s interesting that you say that because I’ve been thinking the same thing. This is much like the Paris attack - a young persons venue with very lax security. 600-800 people is pretty cool if you’re a murdering jihadist. The fact that it’s a gay venue may be icing on the cake or completely besides the point.

Finally they’ll get it.

Sorry, no.

Just read a Facebook comment from a gay activist who insists the issue is the pervasive climate of hate against gays in the US, especially in Christian churches. No kidding.

He should do no such thing. The homosexual lobby supports Islam because it achieves the same path that they are seeking: the elimination of Christians and the religious right in the country.

ISIS would destroy Mecca. They are against anything that is remotely associated with an idol. They have threatened to destroy Mecca numerous times. Sunni vs Shia vs Wahhabi etc etc.

Islam is a sharply divided religion to the point that many of those who practice it kill one another for being the wrong brand.
