Trump Threatens Terrorists During 9/11 Memorial Speech: ‘We Will Go Wherever They Are’
2019-09-12
[DAILYCALLER] President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
warned potential turbans during his 9/11 memorial speech on Wednesday that the United States will seek them out and destroy them, "wherever they are."

The president spoke at a memorial ceremony at the Pentagon on the eighteenth anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

"We come here in the knowledge that we cannot erase the pain or reverse the evil of that dark and wretched day," Trump said. "But we offer you all that we have ‐ our unwavering loyalty, our undying devotion, and our eternal pledge that your loved ones will never, ever be forgotten."

Trump also addressed his canceled peace talks with the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, noting that the terror organization showed "unrelenting weakness" by killing 12 people prior to a scheduled meeting at Camp David. (RELATED: Senate Passes 9/11 Compensation Bill)

"The last four days we have hit our enemy harder than they have ever been hit before. And that will continue," the president asserted. "And if for any reason, they come back to our country, we will go wherever they are, and use power the likes of which the United States has never used before. And I’m not even talking about nuclear power. They will never have seen anything like what will happen to them. No enemy on Earth can match the overwhelming strength, skill, and might of the American armed forces."

#5  What I meant, they're so deeply involved in regime changes: both home and abroad; it hardly leaves time for anything else.

#4  Of course it does. Most of the leadership's wives and families reside in protected cottages in Phase I and II of Faisal Town, Quetta. They visit them too I'll bet. The Masjid Al Islamia north of Jinnah town is a meeting place for several ideologues and leaders who serve dual positions in the Tehreek and as facilitators of the link between ISI and taliban. But this is common knowledge even in the 'Stain. You ask a village idiot in Balochistan 'where is the taliban territory ?' He'll point you to it. In addition, there's real estate owned by mullah baradar and friends transferred over to them directly by Pakistain in 2016. There's supposed to be a law institute there for Balochis, but not one Balochi studies there. So what's it for ?

I'm sure with better intel, some will and coordination a decisive strike, or even a proxy strike would be effective. Ohhh, if India had the testicular fortitude... sigh.

#2  "We will go wherever they are."

I say again, bomb Quetta. Bomb the shit out of it. If not a nuke, then a couple of MOABS at least. Sure, it'll have collateral, but the people there are miserable anyway. The CIA knows exactly where to bomb the leadership. Where their wives and families dwell, funded and kept in good health by admirers from all islamic nations. Do them like they did you.

#1  Immediately after 9/11 Bush made similar threats.

Ultimately the West hasn't even been willing to deliberately hurt the enemy's feelings e.g. by going so far as to name the enemy.

In light of the last 18 years, why would any rational observer classify this as more than empty bluster?
