Obama admin 'lied' about vetting Syrian refugees

The former chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence says President Obama has no coherent strategy to defeat ISIS, and he alleges one of Obama’s top advisers “lied to the American people” to perpetuate a misguided program allowing tens of thousands of refugees into the U.S.

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes appeared on multiples Sunday morning news shows. When asked whether the news that one and possibly two of the Paris terrorists came to Europe as refugees would alter the Obama administration’s plan to accept tens of thousands of refugees, Rhodes said there would be no re-evaluation.

“No, Chuck,” Rhodes told “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd. “We have very extensive screening procedures for all Syrian refugees who would come to the United States. There’s a very careful vetting process that includes our intelligence community, our National Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security. So we can make sure we’re carefully screening anybody who comes to the United States.”

Peter Hoekstra spent 18 years in Congress and spent much of his time focused on intelligence matters. He is now with the Investigative Project on Terrorism and is the author of “Architects of Disaster,” which outlines the failure of the Obama administration’s policy in Libya.

“I think (Rhodes) basically lied to the American people,” Hoekstra told WND and Radio America. “He said we’ve got a good vetting process in place where we can vet those that are coming from Syria into the United States.”

He continued, “No we do not. The records don’t exist in Syria, especially after you’ve had five years of civil war.

Liars get to a point where they cannot separate facts from lies. Obama passed that point before he was elected.

"We're a compassionate nation and this is a tragic situation but I also have to be concerned as Chairman of Homeland Security about the safety of Americans in this country and the concern that I have and that the FBI testified to is that we don't really have the proper databases on these individuals to vet them passed and to assure we're not allowing terrorists to come into this country and until I have that assurance, I cannot support a program that could potentially bring jihadists into the United States," House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul said a recent interview with Fox News. "We don't know who these people are and I think that's the bottom line here and until we know who they are, we cannot responsibly bring them into the United States."

obama lies about everything ... even things he doesn’t need to lie about. So it’s a foolish person who believes anything he says.

[TexasFreeper2009]

he vetted them to make sure they were ALL ISIS and that none were Christians!

[oldasrocks]

Well our Dear Leader is doing it right then. It’s proper to lie to one’s enemies of Islam.

Face it. He has everyone convinced of his incompetence when he actually is doing a good job of destroying America which his handlers have instructed him to do.

Flicking through channels last night and I saw a guy in MSNBC , yes I know it’s MSNBC who stated there is a big , deep, investigation for the vetting process.
The woman who hosted the show had short dark hair, not sure of her name as I never watch that channel, but she stated that it sounds really tough to pass the screening process and it seems the Gov’s don’t know much about this.

So it seems the lie is all about screening these people when in case there is hardly a screening process, so the question is. Why does the fairy boy want so many of them coming here on top of other illegals? Yes to make the country less white and Christian as he hates this country and how it was founded,

It’ll be braking news when someone in this administration tells a truth.

I wonder how many mulligans he does not count when he is on the golf course where he is equally incompetent. Someone told once you can assess someone’s character well by seeing how they play and count at golf.

On a serious note, it is time for the states to take charge here now, the fed government is not up to the challenge for why it was created.

[a fool in paradise]

Wasn’t there already a point this year at which it came out that Christian refugees were being refused?

He said he doesn’t want a “religious test”.

He’s also said that we should put no boots on the ground in Syria, “they” will have to fight this for themselves. Then send back EVERY “Syrian” man between 13 and 65.

[Americanexpat]

Anyone with even an ounce of common sense knows this is a lie.

[cincinnati65]

Of course they did. Not because it's the Obama adminstration, but just try to answer this question:

How would you go about vetting someone who shows up on your shores, to insure they aren't a terrorist?

Do we have access to the Syrian National Records database? Criminal Records? No. So how?

[TexasFreeper2009]

It’s the women who will give birth to islamic anchor babies, best to send them back too!

Let them vacay in Club Gitmo. They don’t have to touch the United States.

Here’s a message to Ben Rhodes. If you and Obama bring those Syrians into the country, and one of my relatives or friends is killed by one of them I will hold you and members of your family accountable. Eye for an eye. Bank on it.

[Travis McGee]

Yep. Exactly.

[DickBrannigan]

That is the only message that they will pay attention to.
