Imagine you are an ISIS leader...

[Legion Troll]

so you are admitting again that you lied......

Not that I recall......is that what you thought I said?

If Obama had cancelled the rest of the state visits and flown directly to Brussels that day, I suspect the same whiners would be moaning that he "let the terrorists win".

It's just reflexive criticism of whatever he does. I'll be glad when his presidency is over and we can move on to criticizing the next guy.

[Konono]

Why did you use the term "it only matters"? Did you think Obama should have cut the trip short or snubbed his hosts because of Belgium?

If the attack occurred on American soil, would it matter?

It will be considered poor taste if not downright treason to criticize President Trump. Remember how the cons howled when you dared to question Bush?

[Konono]

All of Europe was burning, or one building? And not participating in a 5 min dance would have changed what happened how?

You said if the attack occurred on American soil, it would be different, right?

Btw there were no Americans killed this week in Brussels. Two Dutch who were living in NYC were wrongfully reported to be Americans.

Are you sure about that, Counselor?

[christiefan915]

Yeah....and after the video of Daniel Pearl James Foley getting beheaded, Obama went golfing.....the really showed those terrorists whose the boss....

I notice you corrected your reference to Daniel Pearl but I'm gonna say this anyway. When Pearl was kidnapped his abductors sent a list of demands to bush but I don't recall that bush was willing to consider them and Pearl was beheaded. Yet nobody blamed bush for not negotiating with terrorists. But when Obama negotiated for the release of Bergdahl or did the prisoner swap with Iran the repubs lambasted him. What was better, getting five people back alive or sitting on your high horse and having Pearl killed?

What DO you guys want? I mean besides bashing Obama for whatever he does.

I personally think it was awesome optics.

Obama is not one to have ever much cared about optics, he seems more concerned with getting things done, and yet... I think the optics turned out awesome.

maybe he can dance a jig next time..
maybe it's me but he also missed the chance to wipe out ISIS as it crossed into Iraq from Syria ( calling them "JV")
( those convoys of Toyotas in open Iraqi desert)-and while I'd never blame Obama for the sectarian purging of the Iraqi army
one has to look at that as part of his statement that leaving Iraq was some kinna success -it wasn't..

Look I don't expect him to be Chicken Little -but he didn't even send a cabinet official to Paris after the shootings at the concert hall.
I'd like to see some reaction other then just blowing it off..it's his constant marginalization and inactions that bother me.

Caught in a lie?

Do you ever fact-check the BS you believe before you post?

Poor BLABO.

wow. I went with the early AM Kerry breaking news on that one..

[Callinectes]

In reality, the more enlightened Muslim, those who are the most hated by ISIS should be our greatest ally.

How do you tell the difference?

[christiefan915]

Yes. Because the president is in charge of overseeing the US and springing into action if we're attacked.

Right.
