Obama warns against overreaction to Islamic State attacks
Associated Press ^ | Nov. 22, 2015 12:35 PM EST | Josh Lederman

Trying to reassure a nation on edge, President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group "cannot strike a mortal blow" against the U.S., and he warned that overreacting to the Paris attacks would play into extremists' hands. "We will destroy this terrorist organization," he vowed.

Ending a trip to Asia, Obama implored Americans not to let the specter of terror cause them to compromise their values or change the way they live. [...]

Since IS militants killed 130 in France nine days ago, Obama's strategy has come under repeated questioning. ...

Probably none. They would spend the money on drugs and alcohol. If they needed a car, they would expect to Government to provide one to them free of charge. Or a charity to donate one to them. That is why I no longer contribute to charity[ies], food banks, help for the “poor”, food drives. If they can’t live on what the Government steals from me to give to them, hell with them. At one time I contributed to every chartable activity around me.

If Isis succeeds in an attack on US soil, you will see overreaction.
There will be beatings, killings, etc of muslims on US soil.
Of course, the government will prosecute any involved.

There will be a two week orgy of demonstrations and violence and then life will return to what is perceived as normal with sheeple forgetting within two months.

There are very few people in the population that will Never Forget, Never Forgive.

President Barack Obama said Sunday the Islamic State group “cannot strike a mortal blow” against the U.S

Why would he lie about this? Of course they can strike a mortal blow against us. How is this total incompetent idiot President of the United States?

"We will destroy this terrorist organization," he vowed.<<<

When he said "this terrorist organization" he really meant "The United States of America".

You've got that right. Recall what he wrote on [RED] Flag Day 2012, in red, on the very beam of the new WTC tower:

"We" sure isn't "We the People".

We remember.
We rebuild.
We come back stronger.

"Those were the words the president inscribed on a One World Trade Center-branded beam that will top the tower..."

Obama vows "we remember, we rebuild" at World Trade Center

"We will destroy this terrorist organization," he vowed.<<<

When he said "this terrorist organization" he really meant "The United States of America".

The SOL waving a red flag on August 23, 2001... it wasn't just a warning of 911.

Post 127, August 23, 2001:

A red flag is a well known warning sign or danger signal.
What a picture to see the SOL holding a red flag up. What a picture to see the Statue of Liberty with the same initials (SOL) as a common expletive beginning with the letters S.O.L. meaning S___ Out of Luck.

Obama has a 15% approval rating among the military.

That is roughly the same as shady used car dealers.

I don't know the full significance of the ring he wears. I only know that it represents something VERY significant. And it has to do with Islam.

It is a coiled snake ring dedicated to the Egyptian god Apep - the god of the underworld. Can you say Satan?

So, yeah. The ring is dedicated to the very same god that inspired Mohammed.

Look at the bottom two photos of the ring. Do you notice the coiled snakes?

Isn't that precisely what Obama is trying to force us to do - compromise our values and change the way we live?

The only thing Obama "over-reacts" to are American Patriots who care deeply about the Constitution or political opponents who stand in the way of his lock on absolute power like the cowering Republican Party.

Well, then Obama’s lackeys clarified to say that when he said “contained”, he meant geographically contained in their land in Iraq and Syria.

But then, how does that make sense, when ISIS was in Paris???

Or are we saying Paris was not really ISIS???

What the heck?? I wish we have some semblance of a fair and balanced media to ignite these discussions on the talking head programs.

Off topic maybe, but this pic of the Tsarnev(sp?) terrorists reminds us, that they were admitted to America as refugees, and were allegedly fully vetted.

Haven’t heard much about this fact as the liberal media is agahst that anyone would want to interfere with admitting refugees.

“Obama warns against overreaction to Islamic State attacks”

This from the president who has twice turned the self defense shooting of thugs into national incidents without allowing a proper investigation or due process of law.

“I think it is absolutely vital for every country, every leader, to send a signal that the viciousness of a handful of killers does not stop the world from doing vital business,” Obama said

How about instead of sending signals recognize Islam for what it is and actually do something to prevent acts of terrioism in the USA?

TheReligionofPeace.com

This is a list of targeted acts of terrorism on Christian civilians and church workers by religious Muslims since September 11th, 2001.These attacks have nothing to do with war, combat or insurgency. The victims are innocent Christians who were specifically targeted and abused solely on account of their faith by those who claim their own religion as a motive.
There may be a few anomalies on the list, as it is compiled by keyword search from our main database. Neither is this a complete account of Islamic terror attacks on Christians since much of the violence goes unreported.

I glanced a The FBI (Louisville Division) website. In 2009, two men from Iraq were given refugee status and settled in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

In 2013 both were indicted with plotting to aid terrorists and other vile plans. This while enjoying the freedom of the USA. They were Mohnanad Hamadi and Waad Alwan, 25 years and 40 years old respectively. It was found that one of them actively made and planted IEDs overseas. Sentenced to life imprisonment and 40 years respectively.

In my travels I explored part of Kentucky and remember the lovely peaceful countryside. I can only say "the damn stupid fools"- changing that for iron bars.
