Obama’s America Is September 10th America By Andrew C. McCarthy August 22, 2014
Our barbaric jihadist enemies – the ones President Obama repeatedly assured us he had “decimated” and put on “the path to defeat” – are now stronger than ever. Not stronger than they have been in years, or decades – stronger than ever. They have seized a country-size swath of territory (and growing). They have just beheaded an American journalist – which is the sort of thing they do as a matter of routine but has obviously, and finally, gotten our attention.
Not to worry, though: The Obama Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation. I’m sure ISIS is quaking.
The Obama administration has spent six years miniaturizing the global jihad as a series of non-ideological, unconnected groups of “violent extremists,” pursuing parochial political objectives through acts of “workplace violence.” The enemy kills our ambassador to Libya, a palpable act of war, and the administration pretends it’s about a video. The enemy decapitates an American because he’s an American, and the administration announces the opening of a criminal investigation. The enemy bombs and beheads, we subpoena and indict.
The title of this post, “Obama’s America Is September 10th America” is not a random description of the now. It’s the title of a column I wrote six years ago … when then-candidate Obama was promising policies that would, inevitably, lead to an increasingly imperiled America – a provocatively weak America that regarded our enemies as mere defendants, just as we did before 9/11 … when our enemies responded by attacking us again and again.

We really should just nuke the Saudis and be done with it.
Sept 11 is around the corner and we know how the heathen like anniversaries...
Obama’s America is non-existent. The guy is a raving anti-American nutcase who honestly doesn’t give a good GD about anybody here, Northern European white, Hispanic white, immigrant or even black.
He thinks he’s going to be floated off to be head of the Caliphate when the deal goes down.
Just eight months ago our craven leader assured us that ISIS was the junior varsity team and that our enemies had been decimated. I thought about it and concluded that Obama thought ‘decimated’ sounded even tougher than ‘devastated’. Of course when a group of fighters has been ‘decimated’ it means that one in ten in the unit has been killed. Historically decimation comes from a punishment Roman commanders could use when a Roman fighting unit displayed cowardice or otherwise needed encouragement to perform at a higher level.
See clip about oceans receding and planet healing. This now sounds like parody.

More like Poland, August 31st. 1939.
Here Here!! Yes!. And after that glass over that pest-hole that is Afghanistan.

Best article of the day, THANKS!
Your welcome.
Wiki has a definition of ‘decimation’ as a punishment available to senior Roman commanders. It comes from Latin referring to ‘removal of a tenth’.
No, to decimate is to kill one in ten.
