#2 We're not at war with ISIS, but we are at war with Republicans, taxpayers, the Tea Party, white males, anybody in 'flyover country'...

#4 I think our only protection from a major terrorist attack is a mass pray in and trust in the God Almighty.

The empty suit is not going to lift a finger. He seems to look at a terrorist attack as an opportunity to declare martial law and suspend the Constitution.

#5 mitigate - to cause to become less harsh or hostile : mollify

So this pos potus wants to appease the vile, evil terrorists. How much "less harsh" does he expect them to become? Will moving from head chopping to hanging be sufficient?

Every day that I think they can't get worse they prove me wrong.

#12 You are either with them or against them. Since Obumble is not at war with them, one can only assume that he is with them...and he is also the enemy of the U.S.

#13 The Pentagon is repor befuddled + in a state of shock that the Bammer doesn't know what to do.

My view, however, remains the same - as a OWG Globalist, POTUS Obama is following or adhering to the larger Globie agenda = "big picture" hence his seeming lack of action or decision is INTENTIONAL.

* see also DRUDGEREPORT > WALL STREET JOURNAL: HENRY KISSINGER ON ASSEMBLY OF [OWG?] NEW WORLD ORDER. THE CONCEPT THAT UNDERPINNED MODERN GEOPOLITICAL ERA IS IN CRISIS.

Once again, GLOBALISM = can be ascribed as HOW MUCH CAN THE GREAT POWERS, IN PARTICULAR THE "SOLE" SUPERPOWER USA, CAN UNILATERALLY + SAFELY GIVE UP OR OR FALL BACK, ETC, AROUND THE WORLD WIDOUT BEING EXISTENTIALLY THREATENED, ATTACKED OR DESTROYED, BY GEOPOL WANNABES.

Including but not limited to its fellow PAR OWG Globalist Co-Superpowers CHINA, RUSSIA, + IRAN , ETAL.

The Globies have thus far failed miserbaly to answer the question(s), "How much is TOO MUCH"?, "How far is TOO FAR"?, etc. for the Superpower US to safely give up or fall back.

AS PER WORLD NEWS, THE PENTAGON IS WARNING THAT THE ISIS HAS "GLOBAL ASPIRATIONS".

The scenario or danger is there that instead of a Global or Universalist, Western-style, Democratic Secular Socialist World, the OWG Globies instead accidentally empowered + entrenched a THEO-SOCIALIST, ANTI-SECULAR, ANTI-DEMOCRATIC Global Islamic Conquest + World???

To paraph KRAUTHAMMER - "SAY IT WID ME, GLOBIES, OOOOOOOOPPPPPSSSSSS"!

D *** NG IT, OOOPPSSS, OOOPPSS - SPELLED UUUPS - OOOPPPS!
