Obama and the "JV" Team

Congressman Louie Gohmert in The Counter Jihad Report on January 15, 2015 discussed the following Obama blunder:

"Obama: ISIS is the 'JV team'.

In January, President Obama sat down for an interview with the New Yorker, and when asked about ISIS gains in Iraq, he likened them to the JV team, saying ““The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant.” Those words came back to haunt him as ISIS surged in both Syria and Iraq, particularly when Obama authorized missile strikes against ISIS in August. Even then Deputy National Security Adviser Tony Blinken defended the president’s “JV team” remark, saying they didn’t pose the threat to America as much as Al-Qaeda. A few week later, the Washington Post noted the attempts to spin the president’s statement. By September, Obama laughably claimed in an interview on Meet the Press that he wasn’t talking about ISIS in his New Yorker interview. But even the notoriously biased Politifact rated his walk-back as “false” and two weeks ago the Washington Post’s fact checker Glenn Kessler branded Obama’s “JV team” spin as 'the lie of the year'."


On the theme of Obama's lack of understanding of the growth of radical Islam in today's world, the "JV Team" remark is one of his most stunning understatements.

Let's elect a president in 2016 who understands world affairs, instead of a candidate whose greatest strength is the ability to give a good speech.

Nihilism???

Consider this quote of our fearless leader:

"And so, you know, this is a problem that causes great heartache and tragedy and destruction, but it is one that ultimately we're going to defeat. But we can't just defeat it through weapons. One of the things that we spoke about is how do we lift up those voices that represent the vast majority of the Muslim world, so that that counter-narrative against this nihilism is put out there as aggressively and as nimbly as the messages coming out from these -- these fanatics." 


Here is the definition of nihilism:


"the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless." (Wikipedia)


HE WILL NOT SAY: "ISLAMIC TERRORISM."


At the same event, David Cameron said this:

"We do face a very serious Islamist extremist terrorist threat in Europe, in America, across the world. And we have to be incredibly vigilant in terms of that threat." 

Nihilism or Islamic Terrorism?


You decide. . .

Back to the "Wild West" of Terrorism

According to news sources, five Yemeni terror suspects from Guantanamo Bay have been released – four of them to the country of Oman – which is, incidentally, next to Yemen.  Why would the Obama Administration release known terror suspects to a vicinity so close to where their terrorist activity originated? In President Obama’s latest push to close Guantanamo Bay, the release of these latest five terrorist suspects brings the detention center’s number down to 122.

In December of 2014, the Obama Administration released for resettlement five other prisoners to the nation of Kazakhstan, which – by the way – is the country that produced the child executioner who was posted in yesterday’s article. Clearly, terrorism is alive and well in Kazakhstan.

Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte, who referred to Yemen as the “Wild West” for terrorists, warned of fresh terrorist threats yesterday during a news conference when she said,

"Now is not the time to be emptying Guantanamo."

In spite of repeated warnings to keep terrorists at Guantanamo Bay, opinions on closing the prison have changed little since 2009 with 66 percent of Americans polled by Gallup indicating that they are against Guantanamo’s closure. Nevertheless, the President of the United States continues to thwart the will of the people with his Lone Ranger governing tactics.

ISIS Child Soldier Publically Executes Two Prisoners

A  horrific video surfaced online on Tuesday that shows a young boy of around 9 or 10 executing captives claimed by ISIS to be Russian spies. He is supervised by a bearded man who appears to be in his late 20s or early 30s. There is Arabic writing at the bottom of the video. The boy identifies himself as “Abdullah” from Kazakhstan.

The two captured men in the video “confess” to crimes against the ISIS organization. Then the adult ISIS warrior announces that the men are now “through Allah’s grace,” in the custody of the “lion cubs of the Caliphate.” After the speaking ends, the boy steps forward and calmly shoots the two men in the head repeatedly. U.S. and Russian officials have been contacted for comment, but – as yet – none has been provided.

While U.S. Officials have been aware of ISIS using child fighters, this is the first time that one of these child soldiers have publicly executed other people and a video of the murders posted online.

Be warned: ISIS is targeting children in their perverted, aggressive recruitment efforts.

Supreme Lack of Understanding

No matter how sympathetic President Obama wants to appear about the Paris massacre that took place at Charlie Hebdo last week, his actions speak louder than his words.

To quote Douglas E. Schoen, former Clinton pollster,

“To speak about the most serious terrorist attack on Western soil since 9/11, London and Madrid, in between speeches about his free community college plan demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding for the gravity of the situation in Paris and, indeed, the world.”

And to assert the point that I keep making, this president came in to office with no qualifications in international politics and, by his actions after the Charlie Hebron attack, seems to have learned nothing during his time in office.

The war against radical Islam deserves more than a few casual remarks by the leader of the free world.

National Security Mistakes

While President Obama's national security mistakes have been legion, the following mistakes and missteps happened during his first 100 days in office: 

• Apologizing for America in Europe and Latin America;

• Bowing before the Muslim king of Saudi Arabia;

• Pledging to base America’s foreign policy toward Iran on “mutual respect” in a video to the Iranian people and Iran’s Holocaust-denying dictator;

• Ordering Guantanamo Bay closed without any idea of where to send the terrorist suspects held there. (Many of those sent back to the Middle East are under loose surveillance and will undoubtedly engage in future terror attacks on the U.S. and its interests);

• Caving to communist Cuba by relaxing travel restrictions and remittances for Cuban Americans before any Cuban political prisoners have been released;

• Shaking hands with Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez;

• Sitting silently though a 50-minute anti-American diatribe by Nicaragua’s communist president, Daniel Ortega;

• Releasing Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, the suspected mastermind of the 2000 suicide bombing of the U.S.S. Cole;

• Releasing classified CIA memos outlining our interrogation techniques;

• Telling our CIA agents not to be discouraged when he acknowledges their “mistakes”;

• Declaring a new openness to “truth commissions” and prosecuting intelligence officials involved in enhanced interrogations of terrorists;

• Proposing to send a $900 million foreign aid package to Palestinians in Gaza;

• Asking Congress to relax the law so that some of that money could go to the terrorist organization Hamas;

• Calling for the U.S. to eliminate its nuclear weapons;

• Telling Russian President Demitri Medvedev that America’s commitment to missile defense is negotiable; 

• Dropping the term “enemy combatants” for GITMO detainees;

• Dropping the term “terrorism” for “man-made/man-caused disaster”;

• Dropping the term “Global War on Terror” for “overseas contingency operations”;

• Giving his first interview as president to the Arab language network Al-Arabiya;

• Telling the Muslim world that his “job” was to communicate “that the Americans are not your enemy,” when it’s Muslim extremists who have declared war on us; and

• Proposing that military veterans use private insurance for the cost of a service-related injury before they would be eligible for coverage through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Obama has been an ideologically-driven president with little-to-no knowledge of national security. Let us hope that in the next election we can elect a more qualified leader.
