It’s time for Obama to make a choice: Lead or resign | New York Post

God forbid there came an all out war and our fate rested in the hands of this incompetent imbecile. That's right... he's either a Muslim (which would account for his actions) or an incompetent imbecile. Take you choice. Either way he's got to go. 

Anyone remember Reagan "leading from behind"? 

----------------------------------------

In any time and place, war is fiendishly simple. It is the ultimate zero-sum contest — you win or you lose. 

That eternal truth is so obvious that it should not need to be said. Yet even after the horrific slaughter in Paris, there remains a distressing doubt about whether America's commander in chief gets it.

President Obama has spent the last seven years trying to avoid the world as it is. He has put his intellect and rhetorical skills into the dishonorable service of assigning blame and fudging failure. If nuances were bombs, the Islamic State would have been destroyed years ago.

He refuses to say "Islamic terrorism," as if that would offend the peaceful Muslims who make up the vast bulk of victims. He rejects the word "war," even as jihadists carry out bloodthirsty attacks against Americans and innocent peoples around the world.

He shuns the mantle of global leadership that comes with the Oval Office, with an aide advancing the preposterous concept that Obama is "leading from behind." He snubs important partners like Egypt, showers concessions on the apocalyptic mullahs of Iran, and called the Islamic State the "jayvee team" even as it was beginning to create a caliphate.

Having long ago identified American power as a problem, he continues to slash the military as the enemy expands its reach. In a globalized era, the Obama doctrine smacks of cowardly retreat and fanciful isolation.

In an accident of timing that captures his cluelessness, the president actually declared on Friday morning that the Islamic State had been "contained," practically boasting in a TV interview that "They have not gained ground in Iraq and in Syria."

What gall. What folly.

Paris is the final straw. Obama's exemption from reality has expired. He must either commit to leading the free world to victory, or step aside so someone else can.

There is no more time to avoid the truth of war. America must organize the combined forces of the civilized world before the Islamic State makes good on its vow to "taste" more American blood.

If Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign.

As a top intelligence adviser told me yesterday, "What they did in Paris means they are coming here."

In fact, they already are here. Law enforcement officials say the FBI has as many as 1,000 investigations open into Islamic State sympathizers inside the US.

Is America ready to stop multiple assault teams of suicide bombers? Is New York ready? Or Chicago, Los Angeles or Washington, DC?

Because Paris was a grand success to the terrorists, the propaganda value acts as an incentive for attacks on other Western cities. While sparing no effort to stop them here, we must simultaneously destroy them in their foreign bases.

World War III began when Osama bin Laden declared war on the United States, though we did not grasp the significance until 9/11. The collapse of the Twin Towers, a smoking hole in the Pentagon and a downed jetliner in Pennsylvania revealed the price of our inaction.

The single greatest attack ever against America galvanized the nation and defined a new generation of policymakers and warriors.

Yet Obama always remained curiously cool about the whole endeavor, denouncing the invasion of Iraq as dumb while holding up Afghanistan as a necessary war. Once he got to the White House, though, he showed no conviction about Afghanistan either, surging troops only to demand that they return home quickly.

The pattern has never changed, and his relationship with a rotating cast of military leaders remains rocky. Robert Gates, secretary of defense under both President Bush and Obama, said in his memoir that Obama's distrust of the military was destructive of the very mission he had given the troops.

After a heated 2011 meeting on Afghanistan, Gates concluded that Obama "doesn't believe in his own strategy, and doesn't consider the war to be his. For him, it's all about getting out."

Another former military leader, Gen. Jack Keane, notes that Obama never once agreed to the full request of his commanders. If they ask for 10,000 troops, Obama agrees to 5,000, 3,000 or none.

The raid that got bin Laden marked the high point of Obama's commitment. He turned that achievement into political gold in 2012 and declared the "tide of war is receding" to justify his decision to withdraw from the field of battle.

It was a convenient figment of self-interest, as if his wish would make it true. Instead, the strategic dominos fell quickly as war metastasized. The hard-won gains in Iraq were reversed, Syria descended into hell and the Islamic State was born in the vacuum.

Its ruthlessness and success in capturing territory enabled it to supplant al Qaeda as the most dangerous terrorist network. It has become the proverbial "strong horse," with each terrifying attack bringing more recruits and more financing.

In the last two weeks, it shot down a commercial Russian airliner over Egypt and carried out bombings in Beirut. And then came Paris.

Its ability to inflict unprecedented casualties in such far-flung locations marks a growing strength and sophistication. The terrorists smell weakness and have increased the pace of their aggressive expansion. Their aim of global conquest must be taken seriously.

Photo: Getty ImagesFrench President François Hollande understands the meaning of Friday's slaughter. He called it an "act of war" and vowed that "France will not show any pity" against those who carried out the barbaric acts. World leaders quickly expressed their condolences and condemnation. 

Yet it remains doubtful if our side is truly committed to winning. The determination and unity the free world showed after 9/11 faded as casualties, mistakes and politics eroded the mission.

So we are back to square one again, facing a stronger and more emboldened enemy. The time has run out for half measures and kicking the can down the road. The enemy must be destroyed on the battlefield before there can be any hope of peace.

If Obama cannot rise to the challenge of leadership in this historic crisis, then, for the good of humanity, he should resign. Those are the only options and it is his duty to decide.

Our first response to combat ISIS after the Paris attack

Five Guantanamo Bay inmates released to the United Arab Emirates

(Russia chose a different tack)

Russia Pounds ISIS With Biggest Bomber Raid in Decades

Five men who have been held for more than 13 years at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, have been released and sent to the United Arab Emirates, the Pentagon said on Sunday.

The five Yemeni men were accepted for resettlement in the Persian Gulf nation after U.S. authorities determined they no longer posed a threat, the Defense Department said in a statement. Their release brings the Guantanamo prison population to 107.

The men, who arrived in the UAE on Saturday, were identified as Ali Ahmad Muhammad al-Razihi, Khalid Abd-al-Jabbar Muhammad Uthman al-Qadasi, Adil Said al-Hajj Ubayd al-Busays, Sulayman Awad Bin Uqayl al-Nahdi, and Fahmi Salem Said al-Asani. 

Remaining: The Pentagon said 107 detainees remained at the Guantanamo prison 

All were arrested fleeing the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan following the September 11, 2001, terror attacks and were described as low-level fighters in American military assessments. 

(Weren't Lerner and Koskinen described as 'low-level')

None of them had been charged with a crime but had been detained as enemy combatants. They could not be sent to their homeland because the U.S. considers Yemen too unstable to accept prisoners from Guantanamo amid an ongoing Saudi-led war against Shiite rebels there.

Officials in the United Arab Emirates did not immediately comment Monday on the men's resettlement, nor was there any word about their arrival in the UAE's state-run media. 

In July 2008, the seven-emirate nation accepted an unidentified Guantanamo detainee at the same time that Afghanistan and Qatar each accepted one.

The United Arab Emirates is a major regional military ally for the U.S. The country is also part of its coalition targeting the Islamic State group with airstrikes in Iraq and Syria.

President Barack Obama has reduced the number of prisoners at Guantanamo by more than half since he took office.

When he said he was going to close it down no one suspected it would be by letting them go. There are only two things at play here.

1. He lives in fantasy land believing closing down Gitmo is going to somehow stop terrorists attacks.

2. He is helping the enemy because he is the enemy. e.g. 

The Iran deal and now his insistence we take in Syrian refugees despite what just happened in Paris. The proof is in the pudding.

"The Audacity of Hope" [pg. 261]:

Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction. 

And he is sure as hell is fulfilling that promise. 

Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim misfit who looked to Rev Wright to wash clean his Muslim past to make him "electable"... and it came back to bite him on the ass. And yes folks he presented himself as a Muslim foreign exchange student which is the reason his college transcripts are sealed.

He had sought to close the detention center but faced opposition from Congress. The administration is now seeking to move detainees to the United States amid intense opposition. 

The Pentagon said 107 detainees remained at the Guantanamo prison for suspected foreign militants.

The Defense Department is expected soon to unveil a long-awaited plan outlining how it would close the detention center at Guantanamo despite fierce resistance to shutting down the facility in Congress.

Still crazy after all these years

Clinton and the other Democratic presidential candidates in debate decline to use term 'radical Islam'

First Barry held a press conference shortly after the Paris attack and said, "he doesn’t want to speculate on what happened." Probably because Josh Earnest didn't decide yet if it was a video or workplace violence. Then the Democratic debate,  following in true liberal fashion, refused to say radical Islamic terrorists were responsible for the attack. Apparently the victims died from flying shrapnel and bullets from an unspecified source. 

Seriously folks, if radical Islamic dogs didn't kill them who the fuck did? 

How can you defeat an enemy you don't have the balls to call out by name?

-----------------------------------

Hillary Clinton and the other Democratic presidential candidates are being criticized for declining to use the words “radical Islam” during Saturday night’s debate, following the deadly terror attacks in Paris.

Clinton, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley declined to use the words after being asked during the CBS debate whether they would agree with GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio saying, “We are at war with radical Islam.”

The front-running Clinton said using the term “radical Islam” would be “painting with too broad a brush.”

She also said the term was “not particularly helpful.” 

“I don’t think we’re at war with Islam,” continued Clinton, a former secretary of state. “I don’t think we’re at war with all Muslims. I think we’re at war with jihadists.”

That's the problem<> she doesn't think. 

Oh...and the jihadists are what.. Presbyterians?

However, Clinton said the world is indeed at war with “violent extremists” and those who use religion for “power” and “oppression.”

“violent extremists” + “power” + “oppression.” = Islam

Rubio said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that not saying "Islamic State" would "be like saying we weren't at war with Nazis, because we were afraid to offend some Germans who may have been members of the Nazi Party but weren't violent themselves." 

"I don't understand it," the Florida lawmaker continued. "We are at war with radical Islam."

GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Saturday night tweeted: “You’re all grown up now. You can do it. Three words. Ten syllables. Say it with me: ‘Radical Islamic terrorism.”

The Islamic State has taken credit for the three coordinated attacks in and around Paris that killed 129 people and wounded more than 350.

French President Francois Hollande called the attacks “an act of war” by the terror group.

I've heard this bravado before. This is the 6th time France has been attacked by Muslims this year. He'll follow suit just like the rest of the world. Remember when the Jordanian pilot was burned to death in a cage? There was a lot of bluster but the end result was King Abdullah donned his flight outfit.

...And that really was the end result.

During the debate at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, Sanders said he didn’t think the term “is what's important.”

He argued the real issue is groups such as ISIS and Al Qaeda, and their mistreatment of women and children, have become “a danger to modern society” and that “American leadership can and must come together to destroy them.”

His plan is to destroy them with a 90% tax rate.

O’Malley, like Clinton and Sanders, also took special consideration not to offend the entire Muslim community.

“I believe calling it what it is … radical jihadis,” he said. “Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that all of our Muslim-American neighbors in this country are somehow our enemies here. They are our first line of defense. … We need our Muslim-American neighbors to stand up and to be a part of this.”

"They are our first line of defense?" 
Are you kidding me! 

Since the Paris attack how many Muslims have you seen come forth to condemn it?

Now you know why O'Malley is the Jim Gilmore of the Democratic party.

GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush tweeted on Saturday: “Yes, we are at war with radical Islamic terrorism.”

During the debate, Clinton also was asked about a December 2014 speech in which she said it’s important to show “respect even for one's enemy” and to try to “empathize with their perspective and point of view.”

Clinton responded: “It is important to try to understand your adversary in order to figure out how they are thinking, what they will be doing, how they will react.”

Why blame all of Japan just because of the "indiscretions" of a few of its pilots? This is the kind of head up your ass mentality that just got 132 people killed in Paris. 

3.8 million Muslim "unvetted refugees" just wandered their way into Europe which is bad in its own right. Not to mention... how many ISIS fighters were in the herd?

Clinton campaign communications director Jennifer Palmieri told Yahoo News after the debate that she didn’t think Clinton was getting a lot of criticism for remarks.

“I think she was really clear that we don’t need to go to war,” Palmieri said. “We don’t need to go to war with Islam. We’re going to war with extremists.”

Don’t you just love the way liberals parse words:

Illegals are “undocumented immigrants”.

The Ft. Hood attack among others was deemed “workplace violence”.

Global Warming no longer worked and had to become “Climate Change” to account for sudden drops in temperature.

Sgt. Joshua Wheeler did not die in combat in Iraq he died in an “advise-and-assist mission.”

This list goes on and on. How much longer will Americans put up with this denial of reality? A lot longer I guess. Just got done watching Barry at the G20 Summit. After all that has transpired in the last few days he said, “ISIS is a handful of killers brutalizing local populations." Truly unbelievable! 



Then there's this.

Trump touts controversial Eisenhower program as deportation model

To be fair what Trump's really saying is... if we had the wherewithal to get rid of illegals back in the Eisenhower years why is it an insurmountable task to do it now? 

Why is we can arrest 1.5 million people a year for DWI but it is unfathomable to do the same with illegals?

 I'll tell you why. Because people like these 4 "conservatives" below have no appetite for it. No one is suggesting killing anybody. Yet they describe their deportation as inhumane, brutal. Try telling that to Kate Steinle's family not to mention a slew of others. People with this thought process are part and parcel as to why we have sanctuary cities today.

 How you get rid of them:

The first two are an absolute must if you ever expect to correct the problem!

1. Do whatever it takes to seal the border. 

2. Change the 14th Amendment by not automatically granting citizenship to "anchor babies".

3.  This could be done in some form. This is just one suggestion.

Once it is determined they're here illegally... e.g. committed a crime, traffic violation, domestic violence, etc they are sent to a detention centers. I can hear the libs crying now... oh-no don't say  detention centers. These detention centers will be located in 49 sates (Hawaii will have to deal with it on its own). Once a month they are picked up and since the vast majority of illegals are Mexicans, and to a lesser amount South America's, are transported over the border to Mexico. If Mexico doesn't like it that's to damn bad. That's where they came in from... that's where they're going back. Put the problem in Mexico's lap where it belongs. They created it with their own citizens and also allowed South America's to waltz through their country to get here. Now we can return the favor. 

People will say...well how much is this going to cost?

How much does it cost not to?

You know we got a problem when you have these 4 guys...

siding with Comrade de Blasio.

De Blasio would 'unquestionably' resist Trump's deportation plan

“This is outrageous and we really need to fight this right now because what he is saying, you know, to call it un-American is an understatement. It is inhumane. He’s talking about deporting people using as his example a plan that was inhumane, that was proven to be in so many ways immoral, which lead to the deaths of many people.”

-------------------------------------------

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump again touted a controversial policy from the 1950s Wednesday as a model for his plan to deport an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. 

The program, known as "Operation Wetback," was a complicated undertaking largely viewed by historians as a dark moment in America's past. 

Read this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback

I'm not advocating death to illegals. But as you read about the "dark moment in America's past" maybe you should also read the dark moment real Americans are facing today.

http://www.ojjpac.org/memorial.asp

The head count indicates more Americans are killed by illegals than Mexicans were during Operation Wetback. 


It also coincided with a guest worker program that provided legal status to hundreds of thousands of largely Mexican farm workers. 

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly confronted Trump about his support for the program Wednesday night on "The O'Reilly Factor." 

"Believe me when I tell you, Mr. Trump, that was brutal what they did to those people to kick them back [across the border]," O'Reilly said. "I mean, the stuff they did was really brutal." 

"I've heard it both ways. I've heard good reports, I've heard bad reports," Trump responded. "We would do it in a very humane way." The real estate billionaire also refused to refer to the program by its name, which is now widely considered a racial slur against Mexicans, saying "I don't like the term at all." 

The 1954 initiative was aimed at apprehending and deporting agricultural workers who had crossed the border illegally looking for work. 

Critics of the program say the conditions for those the agents apprehended were anything but humane. Many of the apprehended migrants were transported in crowded buses and dumped on the other side of the border in a manner some at the time equated with the treatment of livestock. 

Rival GOP candidates have started to challenge Trump's deportation plan claims. 

Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., told Fox News on Thursday that the U.S. needs to deport criminal offenders, those overstaying visas and others. 

But, he said, "I do not believe you can round up and deport 11 million people, especially people who have been here 15 years, have not otherwise violated a law." 

Using this same methodology if you robbed a bank 15 years ago and stayed clean since... all is forgiven?

Trump touted the Eisenhower-era program in Tuesday night's debate. 

"He's only got part of the story," Mae Ngaio  a professor of history at Columbia University, told the Associated Press. 

Stop right here. This guy's a professor at liberal Columbia University. That's really all you need to know. The good professor is brimming with facts and figures. A very through investigative job. But if you asked him where a certain alumni's college transcripts are he wouldn't have a clue.

According to a summary of the project from the Texas State Historical Association, the United States Border Patrol "aided by municipal, county, state, and federal authorities, as well as the military, began a quasi-military operation of search and seizure of all unauthorized immigrants." 

The project, Ngai said, began with 750 immigration officers and border control agents, who used jeeps, trucks, buses and airplanes to apprehend migrants nationwide, including in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. They apprehended 3,000 people a day and 170,000 during its first three months. 

In one incident, Ngai said, 88 apprehended Mexicans died of sunstroke after being subjected to 112-degree heat. The number would have been higher had the Red Cross not intervened. 

Some of those apprehended were sent deep into the interior of Mexico to prevent re-entry by train or cargo ship, where conditions drew the attention of federal regulators. 

One congressional investigation likened a transport ship that was the site of a riot to an "eighteenth century slave ship" and a "penal hell ship." 

Trump also leaves out of his advocacy for the Eisenhower-era approach the fact the program was developed to complement a guest-worker program that began in the 1940s and was aimed at allowing Mexican farmworkers to enter the country and work in the U.S. legally. 

Hundreds of thousands of farm workers did so, and the deportation effort was conceived as a way to pressure employers into using the guest worker program. 

"It was like a carrot and a stick," Ngai said. 

While Trump has put the number of deportations at 1.5 million, most accounts suggest the numbers are far fewer, because they included those who chose to leave the country voluntarily as well as people who returned after being deported and were deported again. 

Trump has yet to lay out precisely how he would track down those living in the country illegally, or how he would determine who are "the good ones" that he would allow to return. 

Both John Kasich, Ohio's governor, and Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, rejected Trump's plan on Tuesday night as unrealistic and cruel. 

"To send them back, 500,000 a month, is just not, not possible," Bush said. "And it's not embracing American values. And it would tear communities apart. And it would send a signal that we're not the kind of country that I know America is." 

Wasn't it Bush who said "They come here out of love". Do you really think he would do anything about illegals? Wonder why his poll numbers are in the tank!

I'm sick of hearing all the excuses. Trump appears to be the only candidate willing to face the situation head on.
