House Terrorism Chair: Our Strategy Against ISIS Is a Complete Failure

In the wake of Tuesday’s deadly terrorist attack in Brussels, the chairman of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade called the Obama administration’s strategy against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) “a complete failure.”

“Days after Belgian law enforcement captured alive ISIS terrorist Salah Abdeslam, one of the suspected ringleaders of the deadly Paris attacks, terrorists retaliated in Brussels by launching a series of explosions at the airport and train station. Thirty-four civilians are dead and 170 are injured,” Rep Ted Poe (R-TX) said in a statement Tuesday hours after blasts rocked a terminal of the Brussels’ airport and its subway system.

Washington has a strategy?

I thought Obama was just ignoring it and counting the days until January.

The liberal strategy against "terrorism."

1.) Acknowledge that terrorism is BAD.

2.) Change your profile page to the flag of the affected country (unless it's African. In that case, don't bother.)

3.) Warn against "hatred" which is just as bad as "terrorism."

4.) Flatly refuse to identify the motives/religion/politics of the terrorist (unless they are Christians who shot up an abortion clinic.)

5.) Find out who is catering lunch for the next committee meeting, because unless it's someone good, I'm voting "Present" and then getting the hell out of there.

Why do you think Trump is so popular?

We are tired of Obama transforming this country into a wimpy Euro type country. We want to be America again.

Attn: Rep Ted Poe:
We aren’t the world policeman to die to curb any and every ISIS attack in the world. Tell Belgium to clean out this cesspool in THEIR country.

We have already defeated them under GW Bush.

Obama just legitimized and resurrected the ideology of world wide Islamic Jihad and facilitated the delivery much of the Middle East and Europe into the hands of the enemy.

He is trying to the same here in American and is succeeding beyond his wildest dreams

Do not lay the lack of will at our feet. Lay the lack of will at the feet of progressive democrats led buy Resident Obama.

I ask this because I don’t know ...

Doesn’t NATO exist to ensure that an attack on one country elevates to an attack against all? If ISIS itself boasts that it has attacked the EU, why does this not trigger something ... anything?

Maybe I don’t understand what NATO is ...

With unconditional surrender as the goal.

Ours of course not theirs.

Are you an insider? That’s almost too real:

“The liberal strategy against “terrorism.”

1.) Acknowledge that terrorism is BAD.

2.) Change your profile page to the flag of the affected country (unless it’s African. In that case, don’t bother.)

3.) Warn against “hatred” which is just as bad as “terrorism.”

4.) Flatly refuse to identify the motives/religion/politics of the terrorist (unless they are Christians who shot up an abortion clinic.)

5.) Find out who is catering lunch for the next committee meeting, because unless it’s someone good, I’m voting “Present” and then getting the hell out of there.”
