The Khorosan Group Does Not Exist It’s a fictitious name the Obama administration invented
NRO ^ | 9/28/14 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 09/28/2014 5:07:54 PM PDT by Nachum

We’re being had. Again.

For six years, President Obama has endeavored to will the country into accepting two pillars of his alternative national-security reality. First, he claims to have dealt decisively with the terrorist threat, rendering it a disparate series of ragtag jayvees. Second, he asserts that the threat is unrelated to Islam, which is innately peaceful, moderate, and opposed to the wanton “violent extremists” who purport to act in its name.

Now, the president has been compelled to act against a jihad that has neither ended nor been “decimated.” The jihad, in fact, has inevitably intensified under his counterfactual worldview, which holds that empowering Islamic supremacists is the path to security and stability. Yet even as war intensifies in Iraq and Syria — even as jihadists continue advancing, continue killing and capturing hapless opposition forces on the ground despite Obama’s futile air raids — the president won’t let go of the charade.

Hence, Obama gives us the Khorosan Group.

The who?

There is a reason that no one had heard of such a group until a nanosecond ago, when the “Khorosan Group” suddenly went from anonymity to the “imminent threat” that became the rationale for an emergency air war there was supposedly no time to ask Congress to authorize.

You haven’t heard of the Khorosan Group because there isn’t one. It is a name the administration came up with, calculating that Khorosan — the –Iranian–​Afghan border region — had sufficient connection to jihadist lore that no one would call the president on it.

More like the Patient Protection part of the Affordable Care Act.

Does anybody even remember the full name of the act anymore?

>>Obama’s goal seems to be, use up weapons inventory and stop resupply by cancelling weapons contracts.<<

Nailed it.

They HAD to create a fake group to “go after”.

Obama said the War against Al Quaeda and Muzzie Terrorism was over. Too many sheeple still have that statement saved on their tweetdeck, and might start asking inconvenient questions.

And it was just a year ago that Obama wanted to bomb Syria to help the very same people we are now bombing.

"I thought it might be a Red Herring when they bombed empty buildings with empty parking lots. The goal is to destroy terrorists, not empty buildings."

I was wondering why there was/is no Air/Naval briefings or Battle Damage Assessments during/after the missions, even by Fox News.

But it lets Obama do whatever he wants under the AUMF. Just 7 degrees of kevin bacon link someone to al qaeda and it is open season. Every person in the world can be ‘linked’ to al qaeda in this way, so be wary.

I like your theory better than mine, where, OdumBO drops make believe bombs on a make believe group to kill make believe terrorist just to prove what a great warrior he is.
