The Terror This Time - The FBI confirms what President Obama refuses to admit.
wsj.com ^

Posted on 12/05/2015 8:22:57 AM PST by RoosterRedux

President Obama entered the White House believing that the "war on terror" was a misguided overreaction driven by political fear, and his government even stopped using the term. Seven years later Mr. Obama is presiding over a global jihadist revival that now threatens the American homeland more than at any time since the attacks of September 11, 2001.

That's the distressing lesson of the recent spate of terror bombings that this week arrived at a center for the disabled in San Bernardino, California. FBI Director James Comey said Friday that his agency is now investigating Wednesday's massacre of 14 people as an act of terrorism and that the two Muslim killers showed "indications of radicalization."

Mr. Comey added that while there is no evidence so far that the killers were part of a larger terror cell or plot, there are some indications of potential foreign terror "inspiration." The latter would have to mean Islamic State or al Qaeda, perhaps through the Internet.

The FBI director said more than once that the investigation is in the early stages, but he deserves support for speaking frankly about the evidence and dangers. Every instinct of this Administration, starting with the President, has been to minimize the terror risk on U.S. soil—perhaps because it contradicts Mr. Obama's political belief that all we have to fear is fear of terrorism itself.

The President made this explicit in his May 23, 2013 speech at National Defense University in which he said Americans should move past the country's post-9/11 war footing and compared the Islamist terror threat to "many forms of violent extremism in our history." Few speeches in presidential history have been repudiated so quickly by events.

A War on Jihad = A war on Islam.

There is no way around it.

One thing is sure—being president quickly ages one. He also looks pale, as if he may be ill.

The future must not belong to those who deny the true nature of Islam

John Quincy Adams on Islam

In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar, the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust, by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE.

Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. That war is yet flagrant; nor can it cease but by the extinction of that imposture, which has been permitted by Providence to prolong the degeneracy of man. While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men. The hand of Ishmael will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. It is, indeed, amongst the mysterious dealings of God, that this delusion should have been suffered for so many ages, and during so many generations of human kind, to prevail over the doctrines of the meek and peaceful and benevolent Jesus (Blunt, 1830, 29:269, capitals in orig.).

It’s not just the Obama Admin that created this mess by ignoring Islamic terrorism, Big Media was right there too, always downplaying the Islamic connection, always so quick to yell “racism” at anyone who dared to point out the common theme.

And STILL, after all this, they play their manipulative games - refusing to release suspects’ names if they’re Muslim-sounding, diverting attention with false blame on lack of gun control, falsely suggesting it was “only workplace violence” when they clearly know it was Islamic terrorism, smearing critics as bigoted, etc.

Big Media has blood on its hands too. Lots.

He’s had a psychological break.

Terrorists have attacked and killed 14 and injured many others and Obama is dismissive and speaks about “climate change”... and in a wildly exaggerated manner.

He refuses to accept the reality of this attack, likely because it’s contrary to his idealized fantasies about islam. He is also making absurd claims about sea level change (7 feet!).

He is detached from the reality of the attack and he suffers delusions about sea levels - he dismisses the immediate event and panics over a possible event centuries in the future.

He is a very sick person.

When He looks in the mirror and talks to Himself (His closest and most trusted advisor) what does He say? Does anyone know? How can He live with Himself while He denies the most obvious truth and lies to us all? Does He fear the approach of the white coated gentlemen who come to take Him away to that place of peace and calm? Just about 11 months to go. Hold on tight folks it’s going to be a wild ride.
