Weekly Standard ^

[bryan999]

President Obama's statement condemning the mass murder in a Pakistan school fails to blame the perpetrators, the Taliban. Here's Obama's full statement:

"The United States condemns in the strongest possible terms today’s horrific attack on the Army Public School in Peshawar, Pakistan. Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims, their families, and loved ones. By targeting students and teachers in this heinous attack, terrorists have once again shown their depravity. We stand with the people of Pakistan, and reiterate the commitment of the United States to support the Government of Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and to promote peace and stability in the region."

Jarrett won't let him.

[N. Theknow]

It happened at a school. Ergo...workplace violence in Idi Obama’s world.

[skeeter]

He’ll name the killers, as soon as he figures out a way to benefit politically.

Just remember this has nothing to do with Muslims. Nope...nothing .......not one thing......no way.

Same ol’ same ol’.

If I was president, “I ask you, muslims of the world, is this the face of Islam? If not, why do you not reform your brethren? I suspect that it really is the face of Islam; brutish and blood thirsty; and that you love death more than life. Your own self styled leaders have said as much.”

The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.

I’d sure like to be a fly on the wall when Obama tells them they are wrong...

"... your religion is very dependent on locations like Mecca, Medina, and the Kaba. I'm targeting the missiles now. The next attack on Americans or American interests and you lose the first one. How many are you willing to lose?"

[armydawg505]

Did anyone expect him to nail is fellow Muslims?

[VanDeKoik]

Because the people that did it were.....GHOSTS!!!!

Woooooooo!

Hey, Obozo, go to Hawaii early.

We won’t miss you.

Well, he’s got to have empathy for them, to the degree psychologically possible.

I would not regret the loss of certain archeological sites. Mecca would be first on my list.

I’m actually surprised he used the word “terrorists”.

Isn’t this more like a case of “education-place violence”?
