The World is well aware of the
Jihadist terror attack on the Pulse Night Club that killed 49 Americans. It is
obvious to most that this was an attack by a Muslim fanatic in accordance with
the anti-homosexual dictates of the Koran. Omar Mateen dialed
911 moments before the shooting began, pledging allegiance to the Islamic state
and allegedly reciting
prayers to Allah. His actions left little doubt what prompted the murders of
these American infidels. Homosexuality is not
only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law; a crime punishable by death. Regardless of the motive they are still
Americans.
Barack Obama refused to identify the attack as an
act of radical Islamic terror by denying the obvious fact that these killings
were committed in the name of Allah. The American left will not acknowledge
that Mateen was conducting jihad. As usual, liberals are blaming the NRA and ignoring the fact that the shooter had called
news outlets and 911 to brag about what he was doing! Obama claimed there was
no direct link between ISIL and the Jihadist. The constitutional scholar’s only solution was
to call for gun control; never let a crisis go to waste after all.
Intelligence Failure from the Top
This week, Obama boasted that “ISIL's ranks are shrinking… Their morale is sinking. As one defender -- as one defector said, ISIL is not bringing Islam to the world and people need to know that. Thanks to international efforts, the flow of foreign fighters, including from America, to Syria and Iraq has plummeted. In fact, our intelligence community now assesses that the ranks of ISIL fighters have been reduced to the lowest levels in more than two and a half years.”
CIA Director John Brennan did not agree with Obama however, stating: "Unfortunately, despite all our progress
against ISIL on the battlefield and in the financial realm, our efforts have
not reduced the group's terrorism capability and global reach.” Brennan told congress: "In fact, as the pressure mounts on ISIL, we judge that it will intensify
its global terror campaign to maintain its dominance of the global terrorism
agenda.” (2) Even when the U.S. curtailed the group’s ability to raise money, ISIL still
managed to fund its attacks by selling oil on the black market.
Director Brennen also stated: “ISIL has a large cadre of Western fighters who could potentially serve
as operatives for attacks in the West." He said
“IS probably is working to smuggle them into countries, perhaps among refugee
flows or through legitimate means of travel.” Brennan also noted “…the group's call for followers to conduct
so-called lone-wolf attacks in their home countries.” “Last week's attack in Orlando,” said
Brennan, was a ‘heinous act of wanton violence’ and an ‘assault on the values
of openness and tolerance’ that define the United States as a nation.”
So is ISIL in trouble or not? Director Brennen was under
oath when he spoke of Lone Wolf attacks, making it at least somewhat more
likely he was telling the truth. Most likely, the administration’s team of
creative writers wrote the speech for Obama to present to lazy members of the press
and low information voters.
Since Obama has a history of skipping daily intelligence
briefings, it’s not unlikely that his staff makes certain that no bad news is
presented to his royal highness. That makes it very easy for the Harvard Grad
to ignore and then lie about the obvious.
