Obama Nine Hours Before Paris Terror Attack: “We’ve Contained ISIS”
If President Obama prefers to use words like violent extremists to describe Islamic terrorists, if he’s more comfortable describing the slaughter at Fort Hood by a Muslim fanatic in the U.S. Army as “workplace violence”, then it’s fair to question whether he has the resolve to wage pitiless war against the enemy. He said he would be the best choice to lead the country because of his experience as Virginia’s governor during the 2001 terrorist attacks and accused Obama and Clinton of failing in the fight against terrorists tied to “radical Islamism”.
First, this attack underscores the serious threat posed by the Islamic State. He said the US should be more aggressive against IS and called the United States “insane” to accept any refugees from Syria in the wake of the Paris attacks. It’s a failure also of a coalition campaign because we have allowed ISIS to have sanctuary in Syria and Iraq with too much time to plan and plot, too much resources to be directed against us.
There’s an old joke that says it’s not really a war until the French surrender. I think we want to continue to intensify that coordination.
Republicans also attacked an assertion by Obama in an interview with ABC conducted before the Paris attacks that IS was “contained”.
“We should be compassionate, we should use our resources and our expertise to help them get settled elsewhere”, he told reporters.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community, on Sunday condemned the series of terrorist attacks that rocked the French capital city of Paris on Saturday, stating that “all forms of terrorism and extremism are completely against the true teachings of Islam”.
The attacks in Paris targeted “soft targets”, or civilians. “Rubio, [Democratic Sen. Charles] Schumer and all the authors voted against any conservative amendments and I think that was a mistake not only for the bill but for our national security”.
Similarly, the US has reinforced its presence on the ground by creating a new militia, the Syrian Democratic Forces, which in fact relies nearly exclusively on Kurdish fighters. He also deployed more US aircraft to a base in Incirlik, Turkey.
They said France is geographically convenient and, right up until it tightened its security after these attacks, had a very porous border. “We fled Syria because of ISIS”.
“Let France and those who walk in its path know that they will remain on the top of the list of targets of the Islamic State”, it said. Such pressure has been steadily growing with precision strikes in recent months.
The Islamic State has not suffered any major setbacks since its dramatic rise, and its many opponents have not acted in a coordinated manner. The good news is that in the United States, most states have passed “shall-issue” or “constitutional carry” laws.
And as governmental efforts make it more hard for radicalised individuals in France to reach Iraq and Syria, they may “act out at home”, he said.
And now comes the bloodshed in France, which has been carrying out a limited number of airstrikes against ISIS in Syria.
“We have to look at ISIS as a leading threat of an worldwide terror network, it can not be contained, it must be defeated”, she said Saturday.
London has not struck at Islamic State in Syria and although British Prime Minister David Cameron is said to be eager to take that step, he faces resistance from United Kingdom lawmakers.
The identities of the eight attackers who died in last night’s attack aren’t known.
