The Rasputin in the White House is Valerie Jarrett. She is, and always has been, in the Iranian camp. She is certainly running the nation’s foreign policy and probably a great deal more. There are only so many hours in the day and ESPN frequently updates their Sports Center reports, requiring constant vigilance by the Commander in Chief. So, much is left to Jarrett and since Obama likes her approach, that’s what we get.

If we are going to go after terrorists on the basis of strategic importance, then we wouldn't go after Boko Haram, but only ISIS and Al Qaeda.

BUT... Some like Bill O’Reilly bring up the word “Nazi” in connection with terrorists like ISIS because of their barbarity, and people like Sean Hannity speak about all the good we did in toppling Saddam and how this ended the brutality he inflicted upon his citizens.

So, if we are going to allow a bait-and-switch to moral reasons, then we must go after ISIS AND Boko haram and also put boots on the ground in Africa, too, as Boko haram beheads people, rapes women, enslaves children, massacres thousands, wants a caliphate and has publicly aligned itself with UISIS, and ISIS has returned the favor.

If we go by O’Reilly and Hannity, we must put boots on the ground to deal with ISIS and Boko haram, too.

This would force the Saudi’s to go nuclear as quickly as possible. Don't know their internal capabilities, but they might get help from the Israelis under these circumstances. Strange bedfellows indeed.

I brought up what I did in post #8 because this thread talks about “the jihadi threat” at the beginning of the article.

And why not? Isn’t Boko Haram as much a terrorist organization as are Al Qaeda and ISIL?

OIC, I replied to your post in #8 because I saw it before your last post

Worse Than No Strategy

What if there is and has been a "strategy" all along; for Iran, the M.E. and North Africa?

...despite the fact that Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has repeatedly declared hostility toward America the foundation of the Islamic revolution.

Not only Khamenei, who is relatively a noobi "Supreme Leader". How about Khomeini? It started with him.

Khomeini & his current successor Khamenei are 2 different persons (Supreme Leaders) since 1979.

36 years have gone by since Khomeini's thugs took over in Iran in 1979. Khamenei is only a continuation.

No strategy to overthrow the Khomeinist Regime in Iran in 36 years? Mind boggling!

It will be nice when we get Americans running our foreign policy again instead of Islamic imports or New World Order freaks - if we make it that far alive.

What every body doesn’t realize is that he HAS a plan. And those planes do not include Israel or any thing of that sort. Hell, if any body still doesn’t understand this MUSLIM we have in the WH, and what his plans are concerning this country and the Middle East, is either blind or on his side.

Jeeezze people Jarret has been pulling and tugging this POS Obama like a fat a$$ lab dog all along.

That is why he and his ghetto trash family should have been removed 4 years ago from OUR house.

>>“the jihadi threat”
 
AKA the state-established, Fallible and Uninspired, religious sheeple herding threat.
 
Same Ol'
 

 


"...who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men, have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavoring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world, and through all time;
 
...
 
 that it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order; and finally, that truth is great and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons, free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them. "
 
"I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF GOD ETERNAL HOSTILITY TO EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY OVER THE MIND OF MAN"
