Conservative commentators are up in arms over the State Departments decision to deny a visa to a Catholic nun who was part of an Iraqi delegation supposed to testify before Congress about Islamic State (ISIS) atrocities.
The US consulate in Erbil rejected the visitor visa application of Sister Diana Momeka earlier this week, saying she was not able to demonstrate that [her] intended activities in the United States would be consistent with the classification of the visa.
However, visas were given to all the other members of the delegation scheduled to speak in Washington about the Islamic States persecution of minorities of the region, including Shia Muslims and Yazidis. Meetings have been arranged for the group before the House and Senate foreign relations committees, with State Department and USAID officials, and with various NGOs.

Almost a year old, with no follow up I can find; but this is another indication of how the Obama/Jarrett vetting process works.

....the Obama/Jarrett vetting process works... It works all right. According the Allah, as intended.
Your government is covert Islamic.

Wouldn’t be prudent to allow her in to speak the truth.

By the same token, I’d expect no indictment of Mz Rodham anytime soon.

Obama seems to have a fear of smart women who hold a thought process outside that of Islamic doctrine.

Yes. I understand in the official BS that the administration puts out they deny it and hold up some BS excuse. But when I mean covert, it is in the sense that the media at large refuses to even consider the concept he’s a Muslim.

I guess it’s too much to ask for our Congress to do something about it.
Traitors and cowards.

As a matter of fact, I'm looking for some sort of NORK crisis to pop up soon and Hillary will be asked by Obama to mediate the thing. Nukes, missile launches, and hostages sort of thing. She'll toast with champagne and celebrate the promises of stopping their chest pounding and will release that student who stole an ash tray or banner from his hotel.
I say after the DNC convention, like an October Surprise. Maybe Roger Clinton can play the gig. (again)

Hillary will never be indicted. But she won’t be president either. You’ll see lots of interesting things in the next month. Enjoy.

Plus keep an eye on Hillary’s health, which with all that coughing, is not good.

Couldn’t she just sneak across at Nogalas or Naco? If she did, as an illegal, perhaps she could get some freebees from the feds.
