I hope the assassin isn’t one of Obama’s “moderate rebel” terrorists.

There were. Watch the video at Weaselzippers or Twitter.

“Allahu Akbar” shouted right after the shooting.

Anyone who sympathizes with the shooter damn well better be kidding, this was cold-blooded murder by an Islamofacist piece of shit.

I would not be surprised if this was a CIA hit. Hillary and a bunch of NeverTrumpers as well as a few supposed Trump supporters have all been drum beating for war with Russia. Doing it via NATO proxy Turkey would seem to fit.

“Putin will accuse Obama of taking retaliatory action for Obama’s accusation of Russia fixing the election and threat of doing something about it.”

Yup.

“The MSM at that point will have to blame Obama.”

Nope, they will somehow blame Trump.

Obama is conveniently out of town playing golf.

But were he to make a statement it would be something like:

“I, I, uh, My, I, uh, my, I uh...”

I have a bad feeling about this. Trying to talk myself out of it, but hey for the last how many years every war has been a shadow war between the us and Russia?? I’m done with this. The American people and the Russian people don’t want this sh*t. Trump doesn’t want to play this game and I really don’t think Putin does, either. But the angry greedy globalists.....

it’s like a field goal attempt that’s good.
it’s still an attempt.

now a suicide attempt that works isn’t (for some reason)
an attempt , but a suicide.

go figger.

Doubt that.

Turkey should put the killer on the plane with the Ambassador’s body.
