CAIR is a terrorist group. Why is the U.S. Army War College taking orders from a terrorist group ?
Ain’t it great that 0bama’s Perfumed Princes still run the military?
Since the US Army War College is an official military institution/organization, it can ask the DIA to investigate CAIR to see if they are or were connected to designated terrorist groups/support groups as written in the Holyland Foundation charges and convicts.
The DIA can call on the FBI and CIA to aid them in their investigations because of real or potential ties by CAIR leaders/members to designated Islamic terrorist organizations including Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, Islamic State/Isis and its affiliates from Algeria, Mali, Cameroons, Chad, CAR, Nigeria to the Sinai, Fatah, and the Iranian Republican Guard.
Time to do a thorough investigation on a worldwide basis because the U.S. military has been a target of many of these groups, including the killing of 4 U.S. soldiers in Mali recently.
Time to take the gloves off, Army, and take down CAIR since Congress, esp. the Democrats who get CAIR’s support, won’t.
Bunch of girly whore “men” down there... dumps civilization and embraces idiots and terrorists because CAIR, Sorros or the SPLC
A friggin disgrace girly-man in pink panties.
President Trump needs to clean house. Asking for this chump's resignation would be a good place to start.
Too, too bad Bannon and Gorka are not advising President Trump, instead of Jared and Ivanka.
I would think that the Commander In Chief could contact the Chain of Command and order that the man be allowed to give his presentation. Should probably take about 10 minutes stop for that order to reach all pertinent parties.
President: Uh, yeah, Pat I just saw an article that the Army War College gave in to CAIR because they didn’t like some guy talking about islam in a manner they don’t approve of. Is that right? Well, I’m thinking it’s a good idea to have the guy give his presentation. Wouldn’t you agree? Call me back in 15 minutes to let me know that the War College Commandants decision has been reversed and the guy is going to be allowed to speak. Thanks.
SecDef: Call you back in 5, Mr President.
SecDef: (5min later) It’s been handled, Sir. Won’t happen again.
President: Why don’t you and the Commandant of the War College stop by the White House, real quick, Monday, 8am. See you then.
Obama left overs still not flushed, why are they still in positions
Good question.
My service has become a band of pussies.
Now the Army follows.
Can Trump relieve whoever caved?
Dont think I would trust the FBI or CIA to investigate ANYTHING these days!!!!!!
they remain Hassan’s people.
‘Risk Avoidance’ for Major Gen Kem’s career. Probably being considered for a new job/promotion.
“Why is the U.S. Army War College taking orders from a terrorist group ?”
Don’t they know that Obama is no longer president? We have a genuine patriot in office now.
WTF?
Wth is wrong with our entire FERAL Government. Kowtowing has become what it does best.
Yeah he will get right on that as soon as he secures the border, not....
