Report: Obama Told NSC And FBI To ‘Downplay’ Terrorist Angle Of San Bernardino
Daily Caller ^ | 12-10-15 | Jonah Bennett

Posted on 12/11/2015 8:49:34 AM PST by markomalley

The FBI has taken heat for failing to immediately classify the San Bernardino shootings as terrorism, but a new report shows that FBI reluctance could have been due to external pressure from the White House.

A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn't feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.

This source added that as soon as the shooting took place, Obama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.

Part of the reason for trying to avoid the designation of the shootings as terrorism is because it threatens to upset the Obama administration's strategy in Syria. A case of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. would put additional pressure on the administration to play a much more active role in the conflict.

You know, the winds of change are blowing pretty hard. The larger a conspiracy, the harder it is to keep it together, because the number of parts that can “fail” becomes too great. It’s much like the mean time before failure (MTBF) of a machine or electronic equipment. All of the people involved in this and know about it are probably thinking that someone will “take care of them” after 2016. I’d guess that Democratic-connected jobs are going to take a big turn for the worse and the money and jobs will dry up big-time.

And then, the books will be written...that will blow the lid off of all of this. I’m certain that at least one person reading this knows the truth on this subject. Consider that the first person who exposes the truth on this sort of thing is always considered a hero; many of the others become pariahs and/or go to jail.

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World - where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' - both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."

Except he's not eligible. A citizen of one of the five permanent members of the Security Council cannot serve as Secretary-General.

We need to impeach and remove this traitorous SOB.

13.5 months more of him is 13.5 months too much.

At least Slow Joe would be good for some laughs.

If that is true, not only does Obama need to be impeached, he must be IMMEDIATELY arrested for de facto treason. It is also obvious that foreign operatives are working in the White House to undermine this country and THEY need to be arrersted too (Valerie Jarret, etc.). This has gone way beyond tolerance. Why doesn’t someone in the Federal Government and/or SS move to arrest him? He is ACTIVELY working to rapidly increase radical islamic terrorism here. It’s now obvious. I simply can not believe someone in government doesn’t have enough influence to get troops moving on the White House.

This is where Trump needs to go in the next debate. Also needs to go to the Benghazi issue of Hillary standing down help for the embassy rescue.

Obama wants us all to give our lunch money to the school bully... he says that will work. You see, he’s known bullies in his life - and that’s what he’s always done.

There are about 3,000,000 (3M) Muslims in the U.S. Many hundreds of thousands of them completely reject America, its freedom and many want to kill you for them.

Here are their opinions:

Sharia in America: "51% of U.S. Muslims (1.5M) ... polled believe ... that they should have the choice of American or Sharia courts" (1)

Reject U.S. Law: 61%. Only "39% of (U.S. Muslims, ~1.2M) said that Muslims in the U.S. should be subject to American courts." (1) That means the other 61% (~1.8M) of U.S. Muslims believe they should not be subject to American courts.

Sharia Superiority: 33% of U.S. Muslims (~1M) believe that "If Sharia conflicts with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights", then Sharia "should be considered supreme." (1)

Violence against First Amendment Rights: 29% (~900,000) U.S. Muslims agree that "violence against those who insult the prophet mohammed, the quran, or the Islamic faith is sometimes acceptable." (1)

Sharia by Jihad: 11% of U.S. Muslims (~330,000) believe that Sharia is "The Muslims god allah's Law that Muslims must follow and impose world-wide via Jihad" (1)

(1) https://www.centerforsecuritypolicy.org/2015/06/23/nationwide-poll-of-us-muslims-shows-thousands-support-shariah-jihad/

Keep in mind that the bias of respondents should be to shade their answers to be more acceptable to other Americans, lest they become the targets of legal investigation for their subversive opinions. Therefore, the results above should be considered the bare minimum, and the real opinion of American muslims is likely worse than shown.

Does not compute...

It all computes if our leader is something other than than what he portrayed himself in the first campaign. It is the duty of all muslims to wage jihad.

Instead of retaliating for an attack on CONUS.

Obama was more cocerend about the PR implications of a A violent Islmaic attack in the US than keeping Americans safe. Nothing new here.
