Our barbaric jihadist enemies – the ones President Obama repeatedly assured us he had “decimated” and put on “the path to defeat” – are now stronger than ever. Not stronger than they have been in years, or decades – stronger than ever. They have seized a country-size swath of territory (and growing). They have just beheaded an American journalist – which is the sort of thing they do as a matter of routine but has obviously, and finally, gotten our attention.
Not to worry, though: The Obama Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation. I’m sure ISIS is quaking.
The title of this post, “Obama’s America Is September 10th America” is not a random description of the now. It’s the title of a column I wrote six years ago … when then-candidate Obama was promising policies that would, inevitably, lead to an increasingly imperiled America – a provocatively weak America that regarded our enemies as mere defendants, just as we did before 9/11 … when our enemies responded by attacking us again and again.

Worst President ever...including Carter.
Ultimately, he was elected, then re elected, by “principled conservatives” flame away but when we vote we win. Now we get to see what happens when we don’t.
When one or more of our cities are hit this September 11 we will have Obama and the liberals who voted him into power to blame.
We can except that the country will be united after a national tragedy of say 10,000 people dead from a mass attack.
No one will be able to say it then, so I am saying it now:
Obama and his supporters are at fault for what ever attack occurs.
1. We could have stopped ISIS in Syria if Obama had taken action.
2. We could have stopped ISIS from ever getting control of Iraq had Obama demanded a Status of Forces Agreement. (We just spent a $ trillion dollars liberating that sucky country and I don’t care if they leaders wanted all of our troops out. We needed troops to remain for our own national security).
3. Stronger border security could have also prevented the mass death that will probably occur soon.
Thanks, Democrats.
And some of these “principled conservatives” are okay letting him retain control of the senate for his last two years just to make their point.
It’s not just about obamacare, the economy, the Keystone pipeline, etc., anymore. It’s truly about American lives.
Obama made the same mistakes made in WWI. Leaving the enemy to their own devices and not maintaining a strong military rule to back up our resolve and control outcomes. That mistake wasn’t made after WWII, thus peace in Europe, and with Japan.
There is no point in “freeing” Iraq if we don’t keep our military stationed there to ensure continuity of our desired outcomes...generations must pass until the Jihad has been wrung out of the culture. Just like Germany is now a pacifist state and unlikely to start another world war. Unfortunately, now this will include Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, at a minimum. Pakistan may be another in waiting.
1. We could have stopped ISIS in Syria if Obama had taken action.
Not only that but we were arming them.
Assad may be a bad guy but the thugs trying to overthrow him are 100x worse. Obama was on the wrong side.
You are exactly right. “Principled” conservatives do not think strategically. They think emotionally. Fine mess you got us now in, Oliver!
This is what America voted for. Enjoy.
And to think, that’s my enlistment anniversary.
Ugh.
“And to think, that’s my enlistment anniversary.”
You should be proud of that!
It isn't who votes, it is who counts the votes.
/\This, It’s BS to claim principled conservatives elected Obama. Millions of conservatives held their noses and voted for the Obama prototype (Romney). If those that claim conservatives are at fault don’t understand the depth of the vote fraud taking place in this country and are not paying attention.
Furthermore place blame in a more appropriate place, the RNC and Kommie Karl for shoving absolutely pitiful candidates down our throats every election. I’ve sucked it up and voted for these slubs, but no more I’m done, let it crash until the RNC is remade and for you “ consevatives didn’t vote the way I say” whiners STFU!
Obama duped Americans into believing he had "heroically" put the villains on “the path to defeat” ......
As we now discover they are stronger than ever, even making beheading videos----like they were rock stars entertainng global audiences.
Clearly, Obama was in collusion w/ the savages---stupidly believing he had bought them off.
==================================================
Observing Obama's activities leading up to the beheading of James Foley---clearly, this was not supposed to happen. Obama had done everything in his power to appease the jihadists---funding the Muslim Brotherhood, appointing the Brotherhood to key WH positions.....even calling Egyptian President al Sisi trying to convince him to leave the M/B alone(al Sisi refused to take Obama's call and proceeded to decimate the M/B).
Benghazi was also one of Obama's done deals---that went awry when four Americans were slaughtered.
All of it is the cockamamie prog/lib "Smart Power" tactic (coined by Hillary)---wherein being nice to your enemies is considered better than the Republican way---waging war against them.
Smart Power's epic failure is a gross understatement.
Thomas Sowell said his election would be catastrophic.
Oh, I am.
Just disgusted that they’d do this on that day.
Seriously, what are the odds?
Out of 364 others they could have chosen.
