1. There is a vast gulf between what Barack Hussein Obama spews, and the truth. He actually says this "no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland. "
Of course the meaning he hopes has moment is how he has protected America. He hasn't; he has merely shown a ability to parse the language in the manner of Bill 'the rapist' Clinton's " "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is."


2. Roger Scruton writes in "The West and the Rest"
"Perhaps not unexpected, as the West offers freedoms unheard of in Islamic countries, 70% of the world's refugees are Muslims fleeing from places where their religion is the official doctrine. They flee to the West, for opportunity, and personal safety, as well as said freedom.

But...the oddity is that, while settling in the West, many of these refugees begin to develop a hatred for their new home...and plan to take revenge on it with only its final destruction as the fitting punishment.
Even less understandable, those Muslims who settle and assimilate often have children, brought up in the West, yet identify as opposition to it, and desire its annihilation."




3. "On Tuesday, President Barack Obama stated that “Over [the] last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”
Talk about something actually deserving of being labeled as “fake news.”

When President George W. Bush left office, the U.S. had faced 28 Islamist plots after 9/11, only one of which was successful. Now there have been 93 Islamist plots since 9/11, and 14 successful attacks.

.... the vast majority of the terror plots and all of the successful attacks since 9/11 have involved homegrown terrorists—that is, terrorists who radicalized and plotted here in the U.S.
The threat has morphed and the U.S. must now do more to counter homegrown and lone wolf Islamist terrorists.


Obama’s comment obscures the truth that in his eight years in office, as shown by the sharp increase in the number of Islamist plots and successful attacks, the homeland has been less safe.
Claiming victory while the U.S. is in the most active period of terrorist activity since 9/11 is not only pushing a false narrative, but it risks diverting our attention from what needs to be done to defend the U.S. homeland."

He also enrolled in an electrical engineering class, which would provide skills useful for bomb making. He told a confidential informant that he was doing “an op.”
Fareed Mumuni picked up Saleh and another individual very early in the morning on June 13 and began performing anti-surveillance measures, such as driving without lights on and erratically pulling over and speeding up. At around 4 a.m., Saleh (with knife in hand) and one other individual got out of the car and charged a law enforcement vehicle tracking them, causing police to arrest them. Mumuni got away and was arrested on June 17, but not before stabbed an FBI agent multiple times, fortunately hitting the agent’s vest, before being subdued.

Cause, ah, it’s the easiest target.” During this conversation, Rahim told Wright that he planned to attack a police officer on June 2 or June 3. Wright then offered advice on preparing a will and destroying any incriminating evidence.
Based on this threat, Boston police officers and FBI agents approached Rahim to question him, which prompted him to pull out one of his knives. After being told to drop his weapon, Rahim responded with “you drop yours” and moved toward the officers, who then shot and killed him. Wright is only charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice.

70.Muhammad Art Exhibit Plot
Individuals directly involved:
Plot foiled, terrorists killed
Elton Simpson had been watched by the FBI since 2006 when it appeared that he was going to travel overseas to join al-Shabaab in Somalia. While his travel plans were thwarted, he was only convicted of lying to federal officials and received three years’ probation in 2011. The FBI stopped monitoring him in 2014 but reopened their investigation in March after he expressed interest in jihad and ISIS on social media. The FBI did not have any specific intelligence regarding an attack but did send a general bulletin on Simpson to the Garland Police.
Upon arriving at the convention center, Simpson and his roommate, Nadir Soofi, opened fire with rifles, wounding one unarmed security officer in the leg. The first officer to confront the shooters returned fire, wounding both, and together with other members of the Garland, Texas police department, killed the shooters."
Obama’s Terrorism Claim Hides an Inconvenient Truth
 
Political chic, guess you posted as I was gathering my partial list. Some may be duplicates, but I don't believe all are.
 
1. There is a vast gulf between what Barack Hussein Obama spews, and the truth. He actually says this "no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland. "
Of course the meaning he hopes has moment is how he has protected America. He hasn't; he has merely shown a ability to parse the language in the manner of Bill 'the rapist' Clinton's " "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is."


2. Roger Scruton writes in "The West and the Rest"
"Perhaps not unexpected, as the West offers freedoms unheard of in Islamic countries, 70% of the world's refugees are Muslims fleeing from places where their religion is the official doctrine. They flee to the West, for opportunity, and personal safety, as well as said freedom.

But...the oddity is that, while settling in the West, many of these refugees begin to develop a hatred for their new home...and plan to take revenge on it with only its final destruction as the fitting punishment.
Even less understandable, those Muslims who settle and assimilate often have children, brought up in the West, yet identify as opposition to it, and desire its annihilation."




3. "On Tuesday, President Barack Obama stated that “Over [the] last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”
Talk about something actually deserving of being labeled as “fake news.”

When President George W. Bush left office, the U.S. had faced 28 Islamist plots after 9/11, only one of which was successful. Now there have been 93 Islamist plots since 9/11, and 14 successful attacks.

.... the vast majority of the terror plots and all of the successful attacks since 9/11 have involved homegrown terrorists—that is, terrorists who radicalized and plotted here in the U.S.
The threat has morphed and the U.S. must now do more to counter homegrown and lone wolf Islamist terrorists.


Obama’s comment obscures the truth that in his eight years in office, as shown by the sharp increase in the number of Islamist plots and successful attacks, the homeland has been less safe.
Claiming victory while the U.S. is in the most active period of terrorist activity since 9/11 is not only pushing a false narrative, but it risks diverting our attention from what needs to be done to defend the U.S. homeland."

And Obama wasn't. Interesting...

And nary a word from you about his lie regarding no attacks.

69. Car Bomb Plot Against Kansas Military Base
Individuals directly involved:
Plot foiled, terrorist apprehended
John T. Booker Jr. had been accepted into the Army in February 2014, but was not allowed to join after authorities found social media messages supportive of terrorism and he admitted to seeking to commit an attack like that at Fort Hood. Following this, Booker began to communicate with an FBI confidential informant, and “repeatedly expressed to [the informant] his desire to engage in violent jihad on behalf of ISIL.” Booker said that he had studied suicide bombing and wanted to build and detonate a truck bomb. Booker then filmed a video threatening the U.S. and rented a storage unit for gathering bomb components.
By the end of March, Booker began purchasing bomb materials and gathering information on military targets, settling on Fort Riley. Booker provided the bomb components to the confidential informants, believing that they would provide the explosive material, which was actually inert. After preparing a second video, on April 10, Booker drove to Fort Riley with two undercover agents and, as he was arming the inert bomb, FBI agents arrested him. He awaits trial for terrorism charges.

68.Women Build IEDs in New York City
Individuals directly involved:
Plot foiled, terrorist apprehended
The FBI investigation into Noelle “Najma Samaa” Velentzas and Asia “Murdiyyah” Siddiqui had determined that they had been adherents to violent Islamist ideologies for years, Velentzas at least since 2013, and Siddiqui since at least 2006. Through an undercover agent, the FBI began tracking both Velentzas and Siddiqui in July 2014. About that time, the two women showed an increased interest in learning how to construct and detonate explosive devices within the United States. Velentzas and Siddiqui read about how to make homemade grenades, pipe bombs, and pressure-cooker bombs, and on electrical circuits and chemistry. Velentzas showed a growing interest in attacking police, military, and other government targets, and discussed how she and Siddiqui could defend themselves with concealed knives or with stolen weapons in the event they were arrested.
Ultimately, the FBI acted because Velentzas and Siddiqui had not only acquired the materials necessary to build a bomb, including multiple propane canisters, but Siddiqui had indicated a desire to proceed with independent planning and plots. Both are awaiting trial for terrorism charges.

65.Members of Congress Targeted
Individuals directly involved:
Plot foiled, terrorist apprehended
Christopher Cornell used social media to express support for ISIS, violent jihad, and Islamist terrorism around the world. He expressed his own desire to engage in terrorism to an FBI confidential informant. This led to an in-person meeting between Cornell and the informant in October in which Cornell described his need for weapons and his desire to attack but without specific details. In a second meeting in November, Cornell identified the Members of Congress as enemies and specified that he sought to build and plant pipe bombs near the U.S. Capitol and then shoot those fleeing the scene. Cornell showed the informant research on government buildings, the construction of pipe bombs, and the acquisition of firearms. After saving money, Cornell put his plan into motion on January 14, purchasing two semi-automatic rifles and around 600 rounds of ammunition from a store in southern Ohio. He was then arrested before the public was put in danger and is now awaiting trial for attempted murder, terrorism, and weapons charges.

He made various posts on social media sites advocating for jihad and guerrilla warfare against the U.S. Based on the NYPD investigation of his computer search history, Thompson’s anti-Americanism and thoughts of terrorism had “more intensity in recent days,” and he reportedly googled “jihad against police” and the recent attacks in Canada in the days before his attack. On October 23, Zale Thompson attacked four New York City police officers in broad daylight with a hatchet, slashing one on the arm and hitting another in the head before being shot and killed by the other two officers.

On April 15, 2013, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, placed two backpacks containing homemade pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The bombs detonated approximately 10 seconds apart, killing three people, maiming 17, and wounding hundreds more. Three days later, the brothers shot and killed MIT police officer, Sean Collier, and attempted to steal his weapon. During a confrontation with the police, Tamerlan was shot and then run over by his brother who was attempting to escape. Dzhokhar hid on a boat in the backyard of a private residence until the resident alerted the police authorities. Although severely wounded, Dzhokhar was captured alive and transferred to a nearby hospital. The motivation for the attack, according to Dzhokhar, was retaliation for U.S. wars in Muslim lands. He was indicted by a federal grand jury on 30 charges, including his alleged use of weapons of mass destruction and for his involvement in the murder of Sean Collier. On June 24, 2015, Dzhokhar received a death sentence and multiple consecutive life sentences.

Individuals directly involved:Unknown
Plot foiled, terrorist apprehended
In May 2012, the U.S. government announced that it had successfully thwarted an attack launched by the Yemen-based AQAP. The group was planning to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner around the first anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death. The confiscated device that the AQAP had developed was an upgraded version of the explosive used in the thwarted Christmas Day underwear bomb attempt in 2009. The improvements made to the bomb included use of high-grade military explosives, potential inability to be detected by full-body scanners at airports, and, according to officials, would have been capable of destroying the aircraft. The CIA used a double agent with direct access to AQAP leadership, who then volunteered for the upcoming suicide attack. The infiltration of the network allowed the U.S. to launch a successful drone strike, which killed Fahd al-Quso, who was wanted for the bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen in 2000.

He did so believing the man would use the cell phone to detonate improvised explosive devices against American soldiers. The alleged al-Qaeda operative was an undercover FBI agent. Ferdaus also sought to use small drone aircraft laden with explosives to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, followed by a ground attack carried out by armed men with automatic rifles. He was arrested shortly after purchasing several weapons items, including C4 and six AK-47s, toward this goal from an undercover agent. Ferdaus pleaded guilty on two charges and was convicted in a federal court in Boston. He was later sentenced to 17 years in prison after agreeing to a plea deal with federal prosecutors and 10 years of supervised release."
Obama’s Terrorism Claim Hides an Inconvenient Truth
 
1. There is a vast gulf between what Barack Hussein Obama spews, and the truth. He actually says this "no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland. "
Of course the meaning he hopes has moment is how he has protected America. He hasn't; he has merely shown a ability to parse the language in the manner of Bill 'the rapist' Clinton's " "It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is."


2. Roger Scruton writes in "The West and the Rest"
"Perhaps not unexpected, as the West offers freedoms unheard of in Islamic countries, 70% of the world's refugees are Muslims fleeing from places where their religion is the official doctrine. They flee to the West, for opportunity, and personal safety, as well as said freedom.

But...the oddity is that, while settling in the West, many of these refugees begin to develop a hatred for their new home...and plan to take revenge on it with only its final destruction as the fitting punishment.
Even less understandable, those Muslims who settle and assimilate often have children, brought up in the West, yet identify as opposition to it, and desire its annihilation."




3. "On Tuesday, President Barack Obama stated that “Over [the] last eight years, no foreign terrorist organization has successfully planned and executed an attack on our homeland.”
Talk about something actually deserving of being labeled as “fake news.”

When President George W. Bush left office, the U.S. had faced 28 Islamist plots after 9/11, only one of which was successful. Now there have been 93 Islamist plots since 9/11, and 14 successful attacks.

.... the vast majority of the terror plots and all of the successful attacks since 9/11 have involved homegrown terrorists—that is, terrorists who radicalized and plotted here in the U.S.
The threat has morphed and the U.S. must now do more to counter homegrown and lone wolf Islamist terrorists.


Obama’s comment obscures the truth that in his eight years in office, as shown by the sharp increase in the number of Islamist plots and successful attacks, the homeland has been less safe.
Claiming victory while the U.S. is in the most active period of terrorist activity since 9/11 is not only pushing a false narrative, but it risks diverting our attention from what needs to be done to defend the U.S. homeland."
Obama’s Terrorism Claim Hides an Inconvenient Truth


His absence from the White House cannot come too soon.

Anybody who is desperate enough that they have to say something good about that goddam billionaire has run out of gas. That son-of-a-bitch has been pampered and pandered to all his life. He started out with 150 million dollars and his Daddy's reputation. Who could ask for more than that?


Strange.

Your post seems to be some sort of rant about President-elect Trump.

Odd, because the post you linked to says nothing about him, but merely illuminates what a lying incompetent Barack Hussein Obama (peace be on him) is.

It takes a certain sort of imbecile not to have noticed either of these facts.
Raise your paw.

Pay attention numbnuts........all I did was reply to a load of horse shit!



Funny that you should use the phrase 'pay attention.'
You didn't.

What you did was, as I pointed out, pretend that you understood the post to which you linked.
Obviously you didn't, and equally obviously, it is due to a psychological condition.

Every single thing in my post is true, accurate and correct.
That's why you couldn't quote anything to disagree with.


This is not a thread meant for one of your ability.
I suggest you come back when the conversation gets around to monster trucks, favorite crayola, or the 24-hour All Cartoon Network.

See ya'

This is really the best you can do????

You must be both a Liberal and a government school grad, huh?
 
the Ohio State incident was in line with ISIS strategy

and Barry just keeps letting them in and pushing to bring more in - placing them in rust belt states (think that had anything to do with losing Hillary votes?)

I really did think we were done as a country

now, I have hope back that we can stop the bleeding
