Report: Obama's first reaction to San Bern shootings, was to demand agencies not call it terrorism

[mudwhistle]

FBI reluctance could have been due to external pressure from the White House

The FBI has taken heat for failing to immediately classify the San Bernardino shootings as terrorism, but a new report shows that FBI reluctance could have been due to external pressure from the White House.

A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn’t feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.

This source added that as soon as the shooting took place, Obama convened a meeting with the National Security Council and the heads of other federal enforcement agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.

Part of the reason for trying to avoid the designation of the shootings as terrorism is because it threatens to upset the Obama administration’s strategy in Syria. A case of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. would put additional pressure on the administration to play a much more active role in the conflict...

I also heard the FBI had a SWAT team ready and waiting to go in and save those poor people, but Obama told them to stand down.

Funny, Republicans won't call the right wing terrorists attack Colorado a terrorists attack.

It's a terrorist attack. I voted for Bush, McCain and Romeny so here you go!

I'm with you on that.

McVeigh- Terrorist attack.

Eric Rudolph-Terrorist attack

James Holmes-Terrorist Attack

Robert Dear-Terrorist Attack

I also consider the Fort Hood Shootings as a Terrorist Attack.

Need to call a spade a spade and it does not matter done by a Muslim or nutter if it is terrorism it should be called it and not excused as mental illness because every terrorist is mentally ill to carry out such attacks on society!

How do I know?

Do I seem like a religious person or is it that I am a nutter that come off as a terrorist in my writings, and before someone answer yes, well I am insane and comfortable with it...

As to your question, well it seem they believe they do, but the better question is which God are they praying to?

They opted to go with BBBBOOOOSSSHHHH again.

Well I heard Obama was watching a live feed in the situation room.

What's funny (I guess) is go to the link to the RUshbo show, and note the group the "disgruntled" homeland security guy was told to stop tracking.

Shouldn't this really be a workplace violence shooting ? Sure they were planning a real terror attack, but then he got pissed at work and decided to shoot up his job.

Apparently as the bodies were still cooling in San Bernardino, Obama convened a meeting of law enforcement agencies. But the purpose wasn't to catch the terrorists. It was to plan a strategy to fool Americans into thinking it wasn't terrorism.

Though the FBI knew immediately that it was terrorism, Obama apparently objected to the conclusion. No explanation has been given for his reluctance. For Obama, putting the right "spin" on the reports came before enforcing the law and identifying the terrorists and their cohorts.

When the FBI eventually yielded to overwhelming evidence and announced it was terrorism anyway, the Obama administration's first reaction was to threaten to prosecute ordinary Americans who said anything bad about Muslims.

The FBI has taken heat for failing to immediately classify the San Bernardino shootings as terrorism, but a new report shows that FBI reluctance could have been due to external pressure from the White House.

A source told Jack Murphy of SOFREP that the FBI instantly believed the shooting, which left 14 dead, to be a clear act of terrorism. The White House, however, didn’t feel the same way and quickly moved in to squash the terror classification.

Part of the reason for trying to avoid the designation of the shootings as terrorism is because it threatens to upset the Obama administration’s strategy in Syria. A case of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. would put additional pressure on the administration to play a much more active role in the conflict.

But in this case, because the preponderance evidence so pointed to terrorism, the FBI’s hand was forced, and the agency declared the existence of a terrorism investigation, going against top-down priorities from the White House. Syed Rizwan Farook, the shooter, had contact with ISIS and other groups.

In response, Attorney General Loretta Lynch said the Department of Justice was ready and waiting to prosecute people engaging in “anti-Muslim” rhetoric.

Michael Flynn, former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, said publicly that the Obama administration wants to completely sideline discussion of terrorism, because it contradicts the claim that al-Qaida is dwindling. Obama recently suffered major embarrassment after he claimed that ISIS was contained, only one day before the Paris attacks took place.

This is all nonsense.

Shouldn't this really be a workplace violence shooting ? Sure they were planning a real terror attack, but then he got pissed at work and decided to shoot up his job.

What EVIDENCE have you seen in order to come up with that conclusion?
