'We will cut off your head in the White House': ISIS threatens to behead Obama...

I'm not surprised at any threats Islamic State come up with it. We're not dealing with reasonable people here. They attempt to create fear and hysteria and try to get in your head with hope that they will make you too scared to live your lives. They thrive on it. Stop giving them that power.

It's time to stop running stories on these scumbags and helping them to spread their propaganda, all it's doing is making these idiots feel like some type of celebrities.

There was a guy not long ago who jumped the fence and just walked straight into the White House. This is hardly without precedent.

'We will cut off your head in the White House': ISIS threatens to behead Obama and turn the U.S. into a 'Muslim province' in new execution video

Islamic State militants have threatened to behead Barack Obama and turn the U.S. into a Muslim province in the latest gruesome video to emerge from their self-styled caliphate. The footage shows a black-clad jihadist standing over a Kurdish soldier who, in a sickening climax to the video, has his head cut off.

And if they could, they would... 1000 times over, and they'd post the vid on Youtube.

But of course, to many in the Obama administration, these aren't terrorists and we have no war against them.
Perhaps Obama should show some good will, invite them for a sit down and talk in the White House to understand their problems, and what we can do to help solve them.

What do you mean we should stop running these stories Serenity. If we didn't have these stories the majority of the left wouldn't even know there was more than just the US on the Planet.

How a Libyan city joined the Islamic State group

Video: Ex-Pakistan Taliban members join IS group, behead man

http://english.alarabiya.net/en/New...Taliban-militants-join-ISIS-video-shows-.html


An offshoot of the Middle East's Islamic State insurgency has begun operating on southern Afghanistan, less than three months after British combat troops withdrew from the region. A man identified as Mullah Abdul Rauf was actively recruiting fighters for the groups, flying black flags and, according to some sources, even battling Taliban militants. Local sources said Rauf, a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner, had set up his base in Helmand province and was offering good wages to anyone willing to fight for the Islamic State.

Rauf was released from Gitmo during the Bush administration, and is now setting up ISIS' outpost in Afghanistan, underscoring the terrible jihadist recidivism problem. Will any of these guys end up joining him?.....snip~

Ok MMC. Obama does not bear sole responsibility for what is going on with terrorism that is associated with people who claim to be Muslim. That is the result of a combination of things that have been going on for many, many years. Part of it is the historic tension that exists between Jews and Muslims. Part of it is the result of the oil resources that exist in the ME. Part of it is the result of misunderstandings on the part of Christians, Jews, and Muslims about the purpose of religious principles. George W Bush made a big mistake invading Iraq. As a result of that, many tensions that were brewing below the surface have been exposed. Obama has inherited that mess, and while you are right to point out his ineptness in dealing with the situation in many instances, the truth is that it would be a mess no matter what anyone did.

The thing is this MMC, you can push for this war on "Islamic" terrorism (for lack of a better term), but if it is really going to be done right, that means the US needs to clean up the entire ME. That is just one part of it, but that is going to be the place where primary focus needs to start. I know you will not like this, but some of the biggest problems the US faces in the Middle East is the interests of our so called allies does not coincide with ours in many instances. That means that to really clean up the mess, we need to confront not only our enemies, but our so called allies as well. Now we can do that, but it will require a whole bunch of resources in terms of men and money and a commitment over generations. It will not be pretty at all. Over and above that, we would need to start on it rather quickly because the days in which the US has the ability to print unlimited amounts of money are coming to an end. When that happens, our ability to confront the issue in that way will be lost.

That problem will not be solved by some airstrikes and sending in a limited amount of troops for a short period of time because the root of the problem will still exist.

Nah,

The OP has a polar position to the Governments'. The OP's position is: Why is not the government acknowledging that Islam is terror?

While the government is being PC and tries to make us aware that ISIS acts like a country not a terror organization. Further, these beheadings occur on "their" territories not on foreign countries.

Simply ISIS became an outlaw newly created country. It is a mess, somewhere as bad as Liberia perhaps.

Why should it not be written? We clearly have a partisan case being made here and until someone does all we have is the partisan case. Perhaps the better question is who put you in charge?

Mornin MS. :2wave: You are correct that BO peep doesn't bear any sole responsibility for Islamic Terrorism.....but now ISIS/ISIL/AQIL that does fall on him. Especially their expansion.



Ambassador: U.S. 'Warned By Everybody' About ISIS, But 'Did Almost Nothing'.....

James Jeffrey, the former U.S. ambassador to Iraq, tells Frontline that "everyone" warned the Obama administration about ISIS--and that they did nothing.....snip~

Ambassador: U.S. 'Warned By Everybody' About ISIS, But 'Did Almost Nothing' | The Weekly Standard


The generalities of the Arab Israeli relations are only part of it. As the Arabs Sectarian divide also plays a part. With Both sides that believe in Sharia Law.

Now it is BO peep and his lost sheep that ran the False Narrative.....AQ is a former Shadow of themselves. Moreover BO's policy for ISIS has been a failure. AQ has increased in Strength as has ISIS and Ansar al Sharia.

I would disagree that we have to clean up the ME. The Egyptian President gave a truly remarkable speech just a couple of weeks ago. Telling the Clerics of the Sunni Doctrine that it falls on them. They have to get out and start talking to the youth. Take back their religion from the Heretics looking to dominate and take control of it. Now that's where it starts and then with other Muslims going after these heretics despite any belief they have in Sharia Law.

Which we still have the Arab countries telling us.....they cannot do it on their own. That's where we come and others come in as it is everybody's problem.

But you are Right about dealing with those so called Allies.


US should stop Syria not ISIS: Saudi prince.....

U.S. policymakers should concentrate on eliminating the threat posed by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad instead of Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, according to an influential member of the Saudi Arabian royal family.

Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud told CNBC at the World Economic Forum in Davos that the reason why Islamic State exists is because of what's happening in Syria and has called on U.S. authorities including the government, the Central Intelligence Agency and the military to act.....snip~

US should stop Syria not ISIS: Saudi Prince.

I would tell the Saud to shut up and get to work.....Now! Since they are the cause of this a whole issue with Syria.

A pretzle has a much higher probability of harming the President directly than a terrorist. Some dude may have hopped a fence once but:

A) That won't happen again, security has been tightened
B) He could never have made it to the President

So it is without precedent. At no point in American history has the President of the United States been beheaded by a terrorist. In our current system, there is no way a terrorist could get to the President to do so.

So let's stop freaking out over the rantings of improbable actions by crazies. The President is in no more danger than he was previously, the terrorists cannot get close enough to behead him.

How is making the OP aware that the post was obvious considered as "Ad hominem?"
 
Not bloody likely. And if even attempted I expect significant fury from this population regardless of their thoughts on the POTUS

I think you understood my response, but just in case, I agree, you were right to say it, in part because of the reason you stated.

Of course the simple counter argument to your rationale is that the attack on the president is only unlikely because a lot of people take the threat more seriously than you do.

When the secret service starts thinking like you do that is when guys jump the fence and wind up in White House.
