Barack Obama adding to terrorism crisis, says (former Australian Prime Minister) John Howard

A COMPLACENT American President and the failure of Australian Muslims to integrate into the mainstream are two factors identified by John Howard as contributing to the terrorism crisis.

.....

When asked if we have become complacent since 9/11, Mr Howard takes aim at Barack Obama, a man whose election he once warned would be welcomed by terrorists.

“I think it’s always a danger that you get complacent,” he says. “I was surprised at the complacency in President Obama’s speech a few months ago to the West Point graduation ceremony where he talked about the strength of the threat in, I thought, rather too relaxed a tone of voice. We shouldn’t be complacent, we should be quite unapologetic in demanding in all sections of the Australian community an acceptance that people (who) in any way support terrorism are behaving in a way that is inconsistent in the values and wealth of this country.”

Pressed on the rise of Australian jihadists joining the Islamic State terror organisation in Syria and Iraq, Mr Howard says “we should try harder” at integration.

“As many people know I’m not an overwhelming fan of the doctrine of multiculturalism.”.

“I believe in multi-racialism, I believe in bringing people of different races, of different religions, to this country, but once you’re here you’ve got to become part of the mainstream of community. I think over the years we’ve dropped off that a bit too much.”

Two days ago, Speaker “Blank Check” Boehner approved the spending of $ 500,000,000 of US Taxpayer Dollars to “train” 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels in Saudi Arabia for one year. IOW, another Boehner Bailout Bill to Obama.

Here are a few discussion points that were NOT mentioned by Boehner:

* Each Syrian Muslim Rebel will cost $ 100,000 to train.

* 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will be removed from the battlefields in Syria to a training site in Saudi Arabia for one year.

* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with reduced protection from attack by Syrian Army troops, for one year.

* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels will leave their families with NO protection from attack by ISIS troops, for one year.

* The removal of 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria will help both the Syrian and ISIS troops to more easily take over areas controlled by the Syrian Muslim Rebels.

BTW, did anyone notice if before the US Senate approved Boehner’s Bailout Bill yesterday, did any US Senator mention that removing 5,000 Syrian Muslim Rebels from the battlefields of Syria, was in effect, “Giving aid and comfort to the ENEMY” for the period of one year?

As Obama said, “if the political winds shift in an ugly direction I will side with the Muslims”

Well, the political winds HAVE shifted in an ugly direction...
