Last Tango in Brussels
President Obama’s been dancing around the Islamic terror threat. He doesn’t want to take the lead. He says the threat isn’t “existential” and more people die in bathtub accidents.
He danced the Tango after the Brussels attacks. He played golf after James Foley was beheaded. John Kerry sent James Taylor to Paris to sing you got a friend after the Charlie Hebdo attacks.
While ISIS is losing ground in the Middle East the WSJ reports interlocking terror cells are growing throughout Europe.
Middle East
I like James Delingpole. He’s not having any of it from people who say the biggest problem with terrorism is our reaction to it.
He says life is cheap in the Middle East and it’s valuable in Europe and the United States. That’s because “our Judaeo-Christian civilisation, filtered through the Enlightenment, has fought hard over the centuries to make it more valuable.”
By the way, he doesn’t believe Climate Change is our greatest threat either.
Update: The Daily Mail reports ISIS crucified Indian Catholic priest Father Tom Uzhunnalil on Good Friday.
Terror Wave
President Obama did the wave at a baseball game in Cuba while a terror wave swept Belgium. Last night he tangoed in Buenos Aires. A round of golf would give him a hat trick of indifference to terrorism.
He feels ISIS can only win if it knocks him off his game.
That and he’s just not that into terrorism. According to the WSJ, he says more Americans are killed by gun violence than terrorism. He’s more worried about the weather.
By Obama’s lights the Vietnam War was no big deal. In 1968, the deadliest year of the war, 16,899 Americans died in Vietnam. That same year 53,831 died on American highways.
Hillary’s War
Hillary’s in denial. Again.
Hillary’s War
This week she claimed we didn’t lose a single person in Libya due to her lead-from-behind intervention to take out Gadafi.
“We came, we saw, he died,” she enthused.
Pat Smith channeled her inner Madeine Albright saying, “there’s a special place in hell for Hillary.” She is the mother of Sean Smith one of the four Americans killed in Benghazi, Libya September 11, 2012.
She also insists she didn’t blame the Benghazi attack on an awful internet video we had nothing to do with. Come to think of it Obama did the same thing during his re-election campaign. Guess it works.
Moderate Missiles From Iran
Joe Biden had an interesting two day visit to Israel. A Palestinian terrorist stabbed and killed an American student near a beach where Mrs. Biden was dining. Meanwhile Iran tested fired two ballistic missiles.
The missiles have a range of over 1000 miles. At its nearest point, Israel is 600 miles away. The missiles were hand inscribed in Hebrew with the words “Israel must be wiped out.”
Moderate Missiles
In December Iran fired rockets near the U.S. aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman in the Strait of Hormuz. In January Iran detained U.S. sailors and humiliated them on national television.
Vox gave the the Obama nuke deal a shout-out for bringing moderates to power in Iran.
