Once again, as I’ve written too many times to count, Mr Obama is “concerned” and is “monitoring.” Translated: Mr Obama chooses to do nothing.
The evidence:
This on the heels of the beheading of American journalist James Foley, apparently by the same ISIS knife-wielding man, UK-educated and Islamist-bred “Jihadi John.” A man who is apparently right-handed (because his shoulder holster is under his left arm) and yet wields a knife left handed.
But let’s go back a tad bit, shall we, when Mr Obama called ISIS the “JV Team.”
For a so-called “Junior Varsity” team, ISIS seems to have steam-rollered its way through the Middle East quite handily since June. Obama said:
“The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama told Remnick. “I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.”
ISIS: the JV team, as per Barack Hussein Obama. Nah, nothing to see here — move along, move along. . .
All things considered, what is Mr Obama’s response to ISIS and to the myriad abrogations and slaughterings?
Yes: “monitoring” and “concern.”
Meanwhile, UK’s PM David Cameron has taken a clear and obvious tack with regard to Islamic terror — precisely what Mr Obama has not.
David Cameron, British PM, plans new laws to tackle terrorism threat
British Prime Minister David Cameron says he’ll introduce new laws to combat terror suspects, pledging to seize passports to fight what he described as an extremist threat more dangerous than any previously seen.
Cameron told reporters that while the Taliban facilitated al-Qaeda terrorism, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria group is “effectively a state run by terrorists.”
Is the UK finally beginning to recognize what has been under its very nose for many years now? Perhaps it is.
The UK has an actual leader. The US has no leader.
ISIS members are here. ISIS members are in this country. They were either here and turned by events — or they simply got their ankles wet by crossing the Rio Grande on our southern border with every other useless Mexican invader. Except that Mexicans aren’t yet interested in blowing the lungs out of our children with a nicely placed Semtex charge.
Perhaps it’s time for some visual reminders in re ISIS and Islam:
Just another severed day with ISIS.
Beheading of Christian Syrian.
Beheadings in Syria. Nice touch with the western hoodie.
Christian child beheaded. Was she actually Christian? ISIS couldn’t care less.
What now, Mr Obama?
What’s your plan?
Or will you simply acquiesce and be “concerned” and “monitoring”?

The ONLY thing they will understand is overwhelming force… Bomb them into the holes, then destroy the holes… And destroy all those who agree with/support them.
And, frankly sir, that simply won’t occur.
I can only hope you have yours and theirs. Water, food, firearms, ammunition.

What little respect, or fear, the rest of the world regards us, is blowing in the wind. Obama, and the chattering class he surrounds himself with, can’t comprehend what is going on.
We are in for some bad years. What I can’t determine is if a plan is working here, with him a puppet, or is this the natural result of 6 years of fucking up.
One thing that seems common in ALL of these beheadings; the person about to be beheaded seems rather calm… I might be wrong but I am thinking that if it were me I would be fighting like a tiger and force the SOBs to shoot me… I will NOT die on my knees at the hand of some ISIS goat fucker…
BZ, I really wish you would have put up some sort of a warning for all those pictures. I have purposefully avoided looking at the brutality of what is going on with islam and with isis. As it is, I had to skim past them but still saw more than I ever wanted to…
My opinion is they should be bombed out of existence, screw the collateral damage. Which of course will not happen. Because the West is so damn civilized they cannot fathom the brutality and fanaticism of this kind of war. They lack the passion and the determination to sustain their own culture.
Now ISIS is threatening Putin over his ties to Assad and they are threatening to ‘liberate’ Chechnya and the Caucasus. Perhaps a mistake on their part. Putin is not obama, he has not got to worry about PC and world opinion. He loves his country. And he doesn’t golf.
I don’t think he’ll care about collateral damage either.
