A State Department spokesman on Monday chose his words carefully in condemning the assassination of the Russian ambassador to Turkey and the killing of 12 people run down by a truck at a Christmas market in Germany.

He said he “couldn’t rule out” that the shooting in Ankara may have been a terror attack, and referred to “the horrendous events” in Berlin.

President-elect Donald Trump had no qualms preempting investigations and calling both incidents — along with a shooting near a mosque in Zürich — “terror attacks.”

I want to know what Marie Barf has to say. Only then can I be at peace.

Muslim Brotherhood

Something I did not understand when Bush was walking on the rubble from 9/11....

There are no moderate muslims or at least ones that will speak up and speak against Islamo-terror.

Thanks

OK, everybody jumped to conclusions on the Russian Hacking conspiracy that no one yet has seen any evidence of. But a Muslim terrorists who is part of the CIA backed insurgents kills a Russian Ambassador in cold blood, and the WH says “Don’t jump to conclusions.” This is why no one believes the MSM and the WH anymore

Why would Trump put them back in?

Kirby is as bad as Harf and Psaki, besides. False dilemma, really.

Blame the Russians, blame "racist" white people before any facts are known, but never never jump to conclusions when it involves Muslims.

Wow! So spot on!

Kirby and everyone at the State Department Swamp need a good house cleaning and pink slips.

“”Why would Trump put them back in? Kirby is as bad as Harf and Psaki, besides. False dilemma, really.””

No one said Trump would put them back in and we agreed that that they’re all bad! So - I don’t understand your question.

Well, looking back at post #4, I was not talking about Kirby, but instead about the lie that was peddled by the State Department no matter who the spokesman/woman/person was. So I guess it is moot as to the identity thereof.

The guy says this is for the dead in Aleppo, and the state department spokesman can’t even conclude it is a terror attack. Didn’t Turkey already say it was?
