Thread: The Jihadists’ Eternal Plan

While Obama works on his golf swing, they work on mass terror attacks.
September 10, 2014
By Michelle Malkin

Here’s the first and last rule of Islamic jihad: If at first you don’t succeed, plot, plot again.

9/11 wasn’t the first. 9/11 won’t be the last. It’s not “fear-mongering” to face reality. These head-chopping, throat-slitting, bloodthirsty hijackers — of planes, freedom, and civilization — have conspired for decades to inflict modern mass murder on the West. Their homicidal mission is spectacular destruction in the name of the Koran.

Never forget: Eternal Muslim hatred of infidels didn’t start with George W. Bush. Or George H. W. Bush. Or Ronald Reagan. Or the creation of Gitmo. Or the birth of Israel. Or the Twin Towers. Or the Khobar Towers. Or Lockerbie. Or the U.S.S. Cole. Or Fort Hood. Or the Beirut Marine-barracks bombings. Or the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Africa, the bombing of U.S. military headquarters in Riyadh, and the attack on the U.S. embassy in Benghazi.

Allah’s animals can’t stop. They won’t stop. Sura 9:5, the verse of the sword, commands them to “slay the idolators wherever you find them, and take them, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.” No “pagan” throat is safe: American soldiers, worldly journalists, innocent schoolgirls, Jewish teenage boys, and Christian missionaries alike are all targets of Sura 47’s call to “smite the necks” of the unbelievers.

Now our impuissant president sees fit, after one and a half laggard terms in office, to unveil a “plan” for “degrading and ultimately destroying” the Muslim terrorists of ISIS.

Pffft.

To call the Obama administration’s trifling gestures a “bump in the road” to Islamic domination would be an overstatement of astronomic proportions. The bloodless words of the White House are rhetorical pebbles.

While Barack Obama singles out ISIS jihad gangsters for a $5 billion kabuki counterterrorism campaign, he continues to subsidize Hamas terrorists.

He has freed countless al-Qaeda recidivists from the very Gitmo detention facility he vowed to shut down to appease international-jihad enablers of the Kumbaya/Coexist coalition.

Obama’s jihad enablers have rolled out the red carpet at the White House for Islamist funders and frontmen, including:

Esam Omeish, former head of the Muslim Brotherhood–sponsored Muslim American Society and patron of jihad cleric Anwar Awlaki, whom he helped install at Virginia’s notorious Dar al-Hijrah mosque. (That’s the same mosque where two 9/11 hijackers, terrorist financier Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi, and Fort Hood Muslim mass murderer Nidal Hasan all worshiped.)

Sheikh Abdullah bin Bayyah, a top lieutenant of Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Yusuf Qaradawi, who urges followers to kill every last Jew, sanctioned suicide bombings and the killing of our soldiers, and declared that the “U.S. is an enemy of Islam that has already declared war on Islam under the disguise of war on terrorism and provides Israel with unlimited support.”

Hisham al-Talib, another Qaradawi cheerleader welcomed at the White House by Obama’s Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Al-Talib is an Iraqi-born Muslim identified by the FBI as a Muslim Brotherhood operative and a major contributor to the left-wing Center for Constitutional Rights, the group of jihadi-sympathizing lawyers who helped spring suspected Benghazi terror plotter Abu Sufian bin Qumu from Gitmo.

While Obama has been hitting the golf courses and Hollywood fundraisers over the past six years, the relentless jihadists have been training, recruiting, practicing, testing, and refining.

They’ve infiltrated our prisons, our military, and our universities.

They’ve penetrated our borders, abused our toothless visa programs, and exploited our indiscriminate refugee system to import and export the next generation of soldiers of Allah around the world.

They’re experimenting with shoe bombs, underwear bombs, ink bombs, dry-ice bombs, and cargo bombs.

Their dry runs on airliners continue unabated as our Federal Air Marshal Service shrinks from insufficient funds and abandonment.

They command their own rogue freighter and aviation fleets.

While Obama finally gets around to reading his teleprompter vow to destroy ISIS this week, Osama bin Laden’s heirs are diligently fulfilling their 20-year plan. According to al-Qaeda documents and intelligence released nearly a decade ago, the Islamic avengers are already in their fifth phase of “declaration of the caliphate or the Islamic state.”

Next comes “total war” and “final victory” by 2020, helped along by demographic domination: “The Islamic state’s capabilities will be great beyond measure when Muslims would number more than 1.5 billion.”

Jihadist hijackers and head-choppers don’t quit. Appeasement and empty threats are no deterrent. They will not stop trying to outdo 9/11 — unless, through our deadly adherence to political correctness, apathy, amnesia, open borders, and sloth, we do ourselves in first.

How to Drive a Muslim Crazy in One Easy Lesson

Posted on Sep 10, 2014 by Dr. Sharon Schuetz

When we think about Muslims and Islam and hear about Sunnis and Shi’ites, the Muslim Brotherhood, and all the wars and killing in the name of Allah we wonder why they would all kill each other if they’re all Muslims. It’s hard for most Americans to understand the mind of a god who would order his converts to kill in his name, and force non-believers to submit or die. For those of us who are followers of Christ it just doesn’t make any sense at all.

While they are Muslims, worldwide about 86% are Sunni and the other 14% are mostly Shi’ite. They parted ways when they couldn’t agree on the succession of rule after Mohammed’s death. Today’s Sunni comes from those who gave the leadership role to Abu Bakr, Mohammed’s father-in-law. The Shi’ites supported Mohammed’s son-in-law; Ali ibn Abi Talib (Ali) and believed that the ruler should come from his progeny. While there are differences in worship and style, this is where the divide started.

The one thing we can be sure of is that regardless whether they are Sunni or Shi’ite, their plans for worldwide jihad are the same. Most of their disagreements are political. It appears they can get along to complete their overall goal. A good example of this would be the Muslim Brotherhood’s push to destroy the United States since they adopted The Project in 1982. The Muslim Brotherhood is Sunni Muslims, and those in Dearborn, MI are the second largest Shi’ite community in the world outside of Iraq. Somebody must be getting along somewhere. It seems the one thing they can agree and work together on is the subjugation of the United States.

They use subterfuge to confuse and deceive Americans and make us feel overwhelmed in any discussion of Islam or what Muslims believe. Because of this confusion, we just shut down when the conversation turns to anything deeper than the emotions we’ve attached to the subject, which keeps most of us from delving into what is really going on and know how the threads all connect in this tangled mess called Islam. There has to be a way that the average American can understand the Muslim mind, even with all the convoluted lies and newspeak that the government, educators, and media spew.

Well, there’s an app for that. It’s simple really. I’m not going to explain it because I couldn’t do it justice. I’m going to let Dr. Bill Warner tell you about it. If we right-wing fanatics would only think of Muslims in new terms, it would change our whole outlook and cut to the quick of the confusion. Watch the following three minute video and see if you don’t find the answers as simple as I said they are. After today, I will be following Dr. Warner’s suggestions, and I hope you will too.

[TRANSCRIPT]

Let’s talk about naming today. Naming is one of the most important things you can do in politics, and even in science. So, let’s talk about the naming of the word: Mohammedan. This is a word which is old and used to be used a great deal, and I’m encouraging you to start bringing out the word Mohammedan again as opposed to Muslim. And Mohammedanism as opposed to Islam.

Now why is this important? Well, it’s important because it’s accurate. You see if you take a look at the Islamic textual doctrine you’ve got the Koran, the Sira, and the Hadith. And if you take and add up all the words devoted to Mohammed that’s about 86% of the textual doctrine. And if you count all the ones by Allah, it’s about 14%. So, put another way, Islam is about this much Allah and this much Mohammed. And the term Mohammedan tells this truth.

It’s important because it directs our attention in studying Islam away from Allah, a god, who can figure him out, to Mohammed. Anybody can figure a man out. So, that’s the beauty of the term Mohammedan. It directs your attention away from religion to politics. It directs your attention away from god to a man, which means, all of a sudden; we can understand it because everybody can understand a man. It directs us away from the Koran, that book that everybody’s heard about, and how many people have read, to basically the biography of a man, Mohammed.

Now, it goes from hard to understand to easy to understand. But there’s another reason to do that because it’s a push-back. You see, Muslims don’t like the word Mohammedan, because of all the reasons I’ve just given you. So, therefore, that’s a good reason to use the word because it irritates Muslims. By the way, it’s factual, so don’t worry about that.

Now here’s what Muslims say. “Oh, wait a minute, we do not worship Mohammed.” Who says you did?

I’m a Tennessean, but I don’t worship Tennessee. And, by the way, Buddhists don’t worship Buddha. So, it has nothing to do with worshipping Mohammed, but it does say this, “You worship exactly like Mohammed. And you practice politics just like Mohammed.” And that’s important.

So, here’s the deal, it’s not politically correct, and that’s a good enough reason to do it. But the real reason to do it is because it causes people’s head to stretch and think a little. Because when you use that term, and someone says, “What do you mean by that?”

You tell them, “I want you to understand the importance of Mohammed in what you call Islam.” Let’s talk about Mohammed that’s a good thing to do. And the term Mohammedanism causes you to do that. Thank you.

John Kerry to CNN: U.S. Is Not ‘at War’ with ISIS
by Matt Wilstein | 4:06 pm, September 11th, 2014

After President Barack Obama delivered his address to the nation last night, you would be forgiven for thinking the United States in now at war with ISIS. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/obama-spe...no-safe-haven/ But according to Secretary of State John Kerry, this is not the case.



CNN’s Global Affairs Correspondent Elise Labott caught up with Kerry during a summit in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia Thursday and asked him if America is “at war” with ISIS, “because it sure sounded in President Obama’s speech that we were.”

Kerry told Labott that that was not the correct terminology to use. Instead, he said the U.S. is involved in a “very significant counter-terrorism operation” that will unfold in many phases over time.

Obama Speaks on ISIS: ‘If You Threaten America, You Will Find No Safe Haven’
by Josh Feldman | 9:26 pm, September 10th, 2014

President Obama delivered a big, primetime speech tonight on the threat ISIS poses to the United States. Obama made it clear that he is taking swift action with a coalition of nations to combat ISIS. He said that ISIS poses the most direct threat to Iraq, Syria, and the broader Middle East, but “if left unchecked, these terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond that region, including to the United States.”

ISIS has been growing steadily in the public consciousness for months now, especially with the shocking videos of two American journalists beheaded by the terrorist group. The president addressed these brutal beheadings, and assured that the United States is doing everything in its power to “meet them with strength and resolve.” Obama vowed that “we will hunt down terrorists who threaten our country wherever they are” and “if you threaten America, you will find no safe haven.”

He laid out a four-part comprehensive strategy to combat ISIS: first, to continue airstrikes against ISIS targets; secondly, to send more American service members into Iraq to help Iraqis combat the threat posed against their people (though Obama emphasized the troops aren’t there on combat missions), as well as providing military assistance to the Syrian opposition: thirdly, to “prevent ISIL attacks” in the first place by cutting it off at the knees; and fourth, to continue sending humanitarian assistance to civilians “displaced” by ISIS.

The president concluded by touting America’s leadership “in an uncertain world.” He said, “As Americans, we welcome our responsibility to lead. From Europe to Asia––from the far reaches of Africa to war-torn capitals of the Middle East––we stand for freedom, for justice, for dignity. These are values that have guided our nation since its founding. Tonight, I ask for your support in carrying that leadership forward.”

American photojournalist James Wright Foley has been beheaded by ISIS forces

After the execution of Foley, the ISIS member says that missing American journalist Steven Joel Soltoff will be killed next
A man identified as Soltoff in a caption on the video is then paraded in front of the camera

American freelance photo-journalist James Wright Foley, 40, has been beheaded by ISIS in a video message posted online and titled as ‘A Message to America’.

Foley, has been missing since November, 2012, after being taken hostage while reporting from Syria.

Foley addresses the camera before he dies and labels the US government his real killers as a man in black robes armed with a gun stands over him. The journalist who has been missing for almost two years then leaves a haunting message for his brother, John, who is in the US Airforce. ‘I died that day, John, when your colleagues dropped that bomb on these people. They signed my death certificate’

The masked, armed and black robe-clad man speaks in English in what is thought to be a British accent.

Members of the UK's Associated Press pegged the accent to the South East of England and London, while others have claimed the accent resembles one from North Africa. ‘This is James Wright Foley, an American citizen of your country. As a government you have been at the forefront of the aggression towards the Islamic State. 'You have plotted against us and gone far out of your way to find reasons to interfere in our affairs. Today, your military airforce is attacking us daily in Iraq.

'Your strikes have caused casualties amongst Muslims. You are no longer fighting an insurgency. We are an Islamic Army and a state that has been accepted by a large number of Muslims worldwide. So effectively, any aggression toward the Islamci State is aggression towards Muslims from all walks of life who have accepted the Islamic Caliphate as their leadership. 'So any attempt by you, Obama, to deny the Muslims their rights of living in safety under the Islamic Caliphate will result in the bloodshed of your people.’

At this point the executioner beheads Foley, who is kneeling bravely with hands tied behind his back. His body is displayed with the head atop the body.

Then is a chilling warning, the executioner holds another man, on his kness with his hands tied behind his back, by the scruff of the neck. A caption claims it is Steven Joel Soltoff. The executioner says:‘The life of this American citizen, Obama, depends on your next decision.’

ISIS, which has claimed control of most of northern Iraq and parts of Syria is threatening to kill Time journalist Joel Sotloff next unless President Obama ceases attacks on the terror group. Soltoff has been missing since the middle of 2013 and last tweeted on August 3rd, 2013. According to his Twitter account he was in Libya at the time of his disappearance.

Condolences to the Sotloff family. We learned today that Obama has been receiving daily briefs on ISIS for over a year and yet has no plan. He doesn't receive the brief -- the book is just left for him to read. I guess he never does. Obama is less than JV and how many more heinous, barbaric acts will occur before we realize that? I am sorrowful for Sotloff but my American anger burns hot. Molon Labe!




A video purportedly showing U.S. journalist Steven Sotloff kneeling next to a masked Islamic State fighter holding a knife in an unknown location in this still image from video released by Islamic State, Sept. 2, 2014

Video purports to show beheading of US journalist
23 min ago | By ZEINA KARAM of Associated Press

BEIRUT (AP) — Islamic State extremists released a video Tuesday purportedly showing the beheading of a second American journalist, Steven Sotloff, and warning President Barack Obama that as long as U.S. airstrikes against the militant group continue, "our knife will continue to strike the necks of your people."

The footage — depicting what the U.S. called a sickening act of brutality — was posted two weeks after the release of video showing the killing of James Foley and just days after Sotloff's mother pleaded for his life.

Barak Barfi, a spokesman for the family, said that the Sotloffs had seen the video but that authorities have not established its authenticity. "The family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately. There will be no public comment from the family during this difficult time," Barfi said.

Sotloff, a 31-year-old Miami-area native who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, vanished in Syria in August 2013 and was not seen again until he appeared in a video released last month that showed Foley's beheading. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit against an arid Syrian landscape, Sotloff was threatened in that video with death unless the U.S. stopped airstrikes on the Islamic State.

In the video distributed Tuesday and titled "A Second Message to America," Sotloff appears in a similar jumpsuit before he is apparently beheaded by a fighter with the Islamic State, the extremist group that has conquered wide swaths of territory across Syria and Iraq and declared itself a caliphate.

Britain and France called the killing "barbaric." In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said U.S. intelligence analysts will work as quickly as possible to determine if the video is authentic.

In a sign of disorganization — or perhaps dissension — in the extremist group's ranks, a faction of the Islamic State apparently posted the video early, before it was supposed to be released. In a later Twitter message, those responsible apologized and asked fellow jihadis not to "reproach" them.

The Islamic State has terrorized rivals and civilians alike with widely publicized brutality as it seeks to expand a proto-state it has carved out on both sides of the border. In its rise to prominence over the past year, it has frequently published graphic photos and gruesome videos of bombings, beheadings and mass killings.

Last week, Sotloff's mother, Shirley Sotloff, pleaded with his captors for mercy, saying in a video that her son was "an innocent journalist" and "an honorable man" who "has always tried to help the weak."

Just how Sotloff made his way from Florida to Middle East hotspots is not clear. He published articles from Syria, Egypt and Libya in a variety of publications. Several focus on the plight of ordinary people in war-torn places.

In a statement, Foreign Policy magazine said it was saddened by news of his death and called him a "brave and talented journalist" whose reporting "showed a deep concern for the civilians caught in the middle of a brutal war."

Time Editor Nancy Gibbs said Sotloff "gave his life so readers would have access to information from some of the most dangerous places in the world."

House Foreign Affairs Chairman Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., said the new video demonstrates the Islamic State's "barbarity across the region — beheading and crucifying those who don't share their ideology." He said the U.S. and allies need to step up military action against the group, including through airstrikes.

At Sotloff's parents' home in Pinecrest, Fla., two police vehicles blocked the driveway Tuesday, and officers advised journalists to stay away. Friends of the family could be seen coming and going. "Everyone's been concerned. Everyone is grieving," neighbor Pepe Cazas said. "It's terrible. I've been praying for him."

Meet the Youngest Jihadists in ISIS:
The Little Girls Being Recruited by Islamic State to Wage War
By Kyle Becker 6 hours ago



The Islamic State, the entity that the terrorist group ISIS/ISIL is declaring to be a “caliphate” devoted to Islam, are recruiting teenagers and even young children to wage a “holy war” against the West and its religious sectarian enemies in the name of “jihad.”

This ISIL propaganda video, picked up at Breitbart.com, shows a young girl being used for propaganda and recruitment purposes, and she even makes threats against the terrorist group’s enemies:

“Praise be to Allah, the lord of the worlds, the most gracious prayers and greetings on our Prophet Mohamed and his family and companions…

I call for all Muslims on the surface of this earth to openly flow to Jihad in Bilad al-Sham [the Levant] and against the tyrants of al-Sham, and Hezobollah and the Iraqi Shiite gangs who have come to Syria to kill the women and children and to wreck havoc in Bilad al-Sham.

We must uproot them from our land and not leave a single one of them, and we will continue our jihad until we take back Jerusalem and lift the banner of ‘There is no god but Allah and Mohammed the messenger of Allah’ in the streets of al-Quds [Jerusalem] and above the al-Aqsa mosque, for tomorrow is ours, and it is near. Praise to Allah, lord of the worlds. Takbeer.”

In the video, two children are shown being trained how to use mortars – and it is apparent how little the jihadists esteem these children’s lives with the careless and unprofessional manner they are “training” them. Of course, children are just a means to the jihadist end for the ISIS terrorists.

A recent story of a 16-year-old and her 14-year-old friend leaving Austria to fight for ISIS further shows the vulnerability of young people to Islamist propaganda.



Their story is not unique: http://www.ijreview.com/2014/09/1766...isis-fighters/ 130 Canadians, 130 Austrians and over 100 Americans are believed by their respective governments to be fighting for ISIS. In a related story, the U.S. State Department believes there are 12,000 foreign fighters from over 50 nations fighting for control of Syria. http://news.yahoo.com/americans-amon...225059981.html

An estimated 5,000 teenagers with EU passports are also believed to be participating in Middle Eastern jihadist conflicts. Teenagers as young as 13-years old, like a Belgian boy named Younes Abaaoud, are among the jihadist fighters. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ers-Syria.html




In the United States, CBS reports today that a 19-year-old woman from Denver, Colorado, named Shannon Conley is expected to plead guilty to federal charges of aiding and abetting the Islamic State terrorist group in Syria. http://www.9news.com/story/news/loca...ilty/15376131/

She was arrested at a Denver airport in April and told FBI agents her training with the Army Explorers was to be put to use fighting for ISIS. What she called “legitimate targets of attack” included military bases, public officials, and government employees. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...anization-isis

Her case is not the only such example of American girls throwing in their lot with the Islamic State. As CBS reported: “Conley’s path isn’t so unusual if compared to the so-called “Jihad Jane” in Pennsylvania and the Colorado woman known as “Jihad Jamie” from Leadville.”

The vulnerability of American teenagers to the Islamic State’s propaganda is increased by the country’s lack of unity and belief in a national mission. The United States’ security is not only a matter of fighting its enemies abroad, but having something for Americans to believe in and fight for.

Homeland Security: We can’t stop ISIS from coming into US
By Marisa Schultz September 10, 2014 | 4:11pm

WASHINGTON — Homeland Security officials warned Wednesday they don’t have a full picture of the Americans and Europeans heading to Syria to train with ISIS and therefore can’t stop them from coming into the US.

“We don’t have a fulsome picture in all cases,” said Jennifer Lasley, a deputy undersecretary at the Department of Homeland Security.

“It does concern us,” added Troy Miller, an acting assistant commissioner with US Customs and Border Protection.

House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) called the situation worrisome.

“You don’t know what you don’t know. We only have estimates of how many Westerners … are in ISIS ranks, and potentially thousands that we do not know who they are,” he said.

At issue is the rising threat of ISIS terrorists who have recruited Americans and Europeans to their jihadist cause and radicalized those fighters in Syria. Americans and Western allies can travel easily into the US under visa waiver programs, raising huge concerns they’ll return home with murderous intentions. “Terrorists could be just one visa-free flight away from arriving in the United States,” said Rep. Candice Miller (R-Mich.), chairwoman of a House Homeland Security subcommittee, who held a congressional hearing on the matter Wednesday.

She’s introducing legislation to revoke passports of Americans who traveled abroad for terrorist training.

Members of Congress cited estimates that 12,000 foreigners have traveled to Syria to engage in the civil war, including more than 1,000 Europeans and more than 100 Americans, with a dozen Americans believed to be fighting alongside ISIS.

“ISIS is a threat to the United States and to the people of the United States,” said Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas). “We may be reminded on 9/11 the count was approximately 19 who created the most heinous terrorist attack, killing more than 3,000.”

One Frenchman who trained with ISIS went to Brussels to murder four people at a Jewish museum in May, authorities say.

State Department and Homeland Security leaders said they’ve been working diligently with the tools at their disposal, including constantly upgrading border security procedures, reviewing the terror watch list and vetting visas. “Though we currently have no credible information to indicate that ISIL is planning to attack the homeland, we remain concerned in the long term that their access to Westerners … will allow them to plan and coordinate attacks in the US,” Lasley said.

How Seriously the White House Takes the Meaning of ISIS’ ‘Defeat’ In One Embarrassing Clip
By Kevin Boyd 3 hours ago

During today’s press briefing, White House press secretary Josh Earnest was asked by a reporter what does “victory” against ISIS look like?

Earnest quipped: “I didn’t bring my Webster’s dictionary with me up here.”

After the reporters groaned, Earnest said “that’s a pretty illustrative phrase to describe the situation we envision.”

Essentially, Earnest never answered the question. Over two weeks ago, Josh Earnest couldn’t answer a simple question such as whether or not the U.S. is at war with ISIS.

The press secretary essentially went into his talking points about arming the Kurds, the Iraqis, and the Syrian rebels; there being no American combat troops; and building an international coalition to fight ISIS.

At a time when Americans feel unsafe because of this administration’s foreign policy, they deserve more than spin and lame jokes. How can the White House have a strategy for “degrading” and “destroying” the Islamic State, when it can’t even define what “victory” looks like?

( see for yourself ... clip available at the link ) http://www.ijreview.com/2014/09/1770...rrassing-clip/

Used to be a time America would bring the wrath of God down upon anyone who dared threaten us. Now we're apparently happy to aim for a "Participant" ribbon. I feel SO safe knowing we've got a bunch of glorified middle school playground monitors in charge of national security. How a professional fund raiser from Chicago who's never even been in the military can POSSIBLY think he knows more about warfare and strategy than the entire Pentagon I'll never know.

Honestly, this is getting embarrassing. Kerry thinks dropping bombs on ISIS isn't war. Then what the heck is it?



http://allenbwest.com/2014/09/kerry-...-actually-war/


There's so much confusion surrounding Obama and his ISIS strategy.

Today the Obama administration announced that retired Marine General John Allen will be in charge of the ISIS "very significant counter-terrorism operation" -- what about the CJCS General Dempsey?So does that mean US Central Command CG General Austin reports to a retired General Officer? What is the command relationship between General Austin who is the regional Combatant Commander and retired General Allen? And if this isn't a war and doesn't involve ground troops, what's the purpose of General Allen, a retired Marine ground combat officer -- why not a retired Air Force general -- after all this is only an air power centric counter-terrorism operation. And why didn't Obama announce General Allen's position Wednesday during his speech? General Allen is a highly decorated and astute combat leader whose last major command was Afghanistan. My fear is he's being set up as the Obama fall guy.

Want to Know How to Deal with the Muslim ISIS Terrorists? Watch This

August 20, 2014 By TPNN Staff Writer



Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a FOX News analyst, recently gave his assessment on how the United States should deal with the Muslim ISIS terrorists following the beheading of American photojournalist James Foley.

Peters, who has been highly critical of the Obama regime’s approach and failure to adequately handle foreign policy, minced no words when saying what needs to be done in response to ISIS.

Calling the Islamic State blood thirsty and blood drunken terrorists, Peters says his suggestion is the only way to deal with Muslim terrorist groups like ISIS.

The way you deal with Islamic State, these bloodthirsty, blood drunken terrorists, is to kill them, keep on killing them, until you kill the last one and then you kill his pet goat. That’s how you deal with them.

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters had strong words for the Obama regime’s foreign policy positions (or non-positions) regarding Iraq and the invasion of Islamic terrorist group, ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria).

Appearing on FOX News’ The Kelly File with Megyn Kelly on Wednesday, Peters shouted to Kelly when asked by the host to comment on the Obama regime’s claim that it was “caught off guard” by the ISIS buildup in Iraq.

LT. COL. RALPH PETERS: Intelligence has been watching this buildup, watching ISIS buildup for months and months…

MEGYN KELLY: But the White House claims it was caught off guard.

PETERS: The White House is Lying! This president is a coward! He won’t make tough decisions to defend America.

the truly frightening thing is that *I* have been following this for months. It is a scary thought that this little suburban housewife knows more and has better resources then the POTUS claims ???

Frances Micklow/AP Ali Muhammad Brown, accused of killing four men in two states, said he killed a New Jersey teen to make up for innocent lives lost in the Middle East, documents show.

The shooter accused of gunning down at least four men in two states said he murdered a New Jersey teenager as revenge for Muslims killed overseas.

According to court documents, Ali Muhammad Brown described his June murder of 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as a "just kill" and said it was an act of "vengeance" meant to compensate for U.S. military killings in the Middle East.

In addition to Tevlin's murder, Brown has been charged will fatally shooting three men in Seattle. All four men were gunned down in remote areas late at night, NJ.com reported.

He is currently held in Newark, but he may be extradited to Washington state.

Brown is a devout Muslim opposed to U.S. intervention overseas, especially Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Iran, prosecutors said.

"All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life," he told investigators, according to the documents.

Brown further justified killing Tevlin by claiming the shooting was a "just kill," meaning he targeted an adult man and did not put any women, children or elderly people in danger.

In police interviews, Brown described the U.S.'s military campaign in the Middle East as evil and said if a "man sees evil, then he must take action against that evil," the court papers show.

Police maintained that the June 25 shooting started as a robbery.

Officers said Brown fired 10 shots into Tevlin's Jeep Liberty when it was stopped at intersection early in the morning in West Orange, N.J. Then he got into the 19-year-old's car and drove it to a nearby apartment complex to abandon it

Two co-defendants, Eric Williams and Jeremy Villagran, fled the scene of the shooting before Brown took off in the Jeep, police said.

Brown was linked to the New Jersey shooting after police identified the weapon used as the same one used in several Seattle killings.

Police in Seattle said Brown shot and killed 30-year-old Leroy Henderson in April on a state road outside of the city. Investigators said Brown had no relationship to his alleged victim and the crime was likely motivated by robbery, drugs or crime.

Brown also allegedly gunned down Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young in June after meeting them at a Seattle nightclub.

The alleged summer shooting spree is not the 29-year-old's first run in with police.

Brown was arrested in 2004 for his part in a massive Seattle bank fraud scheme, the New Jersey newspaper reported. Police originally thought the accused crime ring shipped stolen money overseas to terrorists, but that claim was never backed up with evidence.
