When you've lost the most liberal of liberal media...
Leaderless
I once asked, “What if Obama can’t lead?” The answer after Paris is painful.
In his memoir, Leon Panetta argued that for all of Barack Obama’s strengths, he is missing an essential ingredient of leadership. He lacks “fire,” wrote Obama’s former CIA director and Pentagon chief. “The president relies on the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader.”
Obama has proved Panetta right again and again during his presidency, but never more dangerously so than with his shoulder-shrug approach to ISIS. Obama called it a “J.V. team” before it started beheading Americans. He said it was “contained”before it attacked Paris. Now he’s calling it “a bunch of killers with good social media.”
That’s how you describe a street gang—a bunch of killers with good social media. The Islamic State is no street gang.

Saudi court sentences poet to death for renouncing Islam
A Palestinian poet and leading member of Saudi Arabia’s nascent contemporary art scene has been sentenced to death for renouncing Islam.
If Islam is a "peaceful religion" then why are the consequences for offending them so dire?

Seems like WAPO reported after the 9/11 attack why yes, there were Muslims cheering in Jersey over the attack.

That criticism I agree with.
Still infinitely better than boldly leading the country off in completly the wrong direction, and for the wrong reasons, while misleading the public about even those, a la W and his neoCon handlers.

It's history
An interest
I will keep reminding people just how big a failure the W admin was for exactly as long as they need to be reminded
Nice hour long special on the telly about ISIS right now
Very clear explanation of just how ISiS got it's start at Camp Bucca, including a thorough examination of how we provided a safe haven for the future leaders of IS to get together create the idea, how they deliberately capitalized on the vacuum we created and especially how IS provided a new mission and employment for the basically intact army - including weapons large and small - that we disbanded.
Real nice bit about how FOX etal play right into IS' hands with their tough guy anti-Obama rhetoric and how IS uses the supposed patriots' words as recruitment tools and against US interests.

Thnk this bit of history might have "inspired" a few radicals or extremists
"The events in Srebrenica in 1995 included the killing of more than 8,000 Bosniak ("Bosnian Muslim") men and boys, as well as the mass expulsion of another 25,000–30,000 Bosniak civilians, in and around the town of Srebrenica in Bosnia and Herzegovina, committed by units of the Army of the Republika Srpska (VRS) under the command of General Ratko Mladić.[12][13]
The ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serbs (_____majority Orthodox_____) through the VRS targeted Bosniaks (majority Muslim) and Bosnian Croats (_____majority Catholic_____). The ethnic cleansing campaign included unlawful confinement, murder, rape, sexual assault, torture, beating, robbery and inhumane treatment of civilians; the targeting of political leaders, intellectuals and professionals; the unlawful deportation and transfer of civilians; the unlawful shelling of civilians; the unlawful appropriation and plunder of real and personal property; the destruction of homes and businesses; and the destruction of places of worship.[14]"

OK. Let's even assume (for a moronic moment) that somehow, as if by magic NO terrorists would be included: I can sure-as-hell guarantee that NOT accepting a group of proven, utterly worthless COWARDS, who refused to even fight for their very own country, rather than run away, would harm the USA in the slightest.
I'm all ears here as for any logical "reasons" to allow this disgusting bunch into America?...Well? They won't even fight for their OWN country. Explain to me just what actual use they'd EVER be in ours?
