By allowing ideology to trump good national security practice, the administrations recent summit on Violent Extremism has empowered Americas enemies.
Friday saw the close of the of the three-day international summit on violent extremism hosted by the White House.

Obama finally picked a side and he wants to be with ISIS
Artillery: Urban renewal, redecoration, AND “reaching out and touching someone” all in one neat tidy package.
If Obama loves Isis, why is he unable to say so publically?
FLASHBACK....Was State Senator Obama Right That Poverty Causes Terrorism?
I do love it when the left has hissy fits over facts and truth.
If Obama loves Isis, why is he unable to say so publically?
Because he is a master of Al-Taqiyya. It is his duty to practice it.
Is lying not a sign of weakness?
Plus it makes a jolly sound.
F.B.I. Chief Not Invited to Meeting on Countering Violent Extremism
Almost musical.
He’s just doing the blocking for ISIS so they can take down countries.
