President Obama will discuss the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings and the broader threat of terrorism on Sunday night in a rare prime time address from the Oval Office.
The address at 8 p.m. will hit on the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria and how the terror threat has "evolved, and how we will defeat it," according to the White House.
"He will reiterate his firm conviction that ISIL will be destroyed and that the United States must draw upon our values - our unwavering commitment to justice, equality and freedom - to prevail over terrorist groups that use violence to advance a destructive ideology," the White House said in a statement. The speech will come less than a week after 14 people were killed and dozens injured during a shooting in San Bernardino, which is now being investigated as an act of terrorism. It is also less than a month after the terrorist attacks in Paris, for which ISIS claimed responsibility.
Obama called the California shootings an act of terrorism earlier in the day and said it is possible the two shooters were radicalized. But during a briefing with national security aides, Obama was told there were no links yet uncovered to a broader terrorist cell.
The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has increasingly encouraged lone wolf attacks. Authorities said the female suspect in the shooting pledged her allegiance to the terror group in a Facebook post.
That’s fridge-worthy.
This whole story would be totally different if Obama had left troops in Iraq.
And Syria?? It's a civil war. he more muzzies that die, the better off we are.
Probably more lecturing and laughing about Ted Cruz worrying about radical islamist women.
This horrendous event will be reduced to “loners”.
My Mom has never discussed guns with me. I have always felt she was uncomfortable about the idea of them, even though she is a staunch conservative. During a conversation on the phone yesterday, she asked me if I had a permit and all sorts of questions. She is all for people carrying and believes that there would be many lives saved if more of the good guys carried. I do not see my folks ever owning/carrying but it said a lot to me that she is very supportive of people who do.
Somehow, I do not think this was the type of conversation obama wanted.
I wouldn’t be surprised if those networks cut away from this dope’s stupid address and go right back to their NFL coverage.
That’s a perfect graphic!
US can’t access NSA phone records in San Bernardino terror case
(AP)
WASHINGTON >> The U.S. government’s ability to review and analyze five years’ worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in San Bernardino lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency’s controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.
Under a court order, those historical calling records at the NSA are now off-limits to agents running the FBI terrorism investigation even with a warrant.
Sorry BamBam, I will be having a bowel movement at that time.
Save it Bambi. We don’t have a president.
Here you go...
The speech is scheduled for 45 minutes!?!? Gives him lots of time to blame everyone else
From another thread talking about Fast & Furious (Obama running guns to the Mexico):
Okay, tinfoil hat time: what's the possibility the attack by this ISIS cell in San Bernardino could have been, in large part, for the very same reason?
After all, this administration and its media outlets immediately called for more gun control, almost as if they were primed and ready to go with their stories and speeches.
We know for a fact that ISIS has said it would strike the US very soon. What if someone(s) in this administration sat on specific information about when and where this attack was to take place? Worse, what if ISIS moles in our own government played a role in activating this particular cell to strike?
Not saying or implying someone actually did. I'm just asking what if, and if so, how does it benefit this administration's goals and those of its Muslim supporters.
I think it's worth investigating further.
Whatever the man says, believe the opposite. He is a lying turd, which has been proven over and over again.
“I believe he might just try that by preventing completion of Federal background checks for some indeterminate amount of time.”
It’s what he wants to do. Why not invoke a “terrorism emergency” as the reason for doing what he wants to do.
I’ll be sure to miss it.
