Operation Empty Chair

1. An insult to empty chairs.

2. I don’t think Wolfe was expecting that

3. I couldn’t believe this when I heard it coming from CNN. And Wolf let him go, and added to it at the end.
   He will never be back I am sure but this couple of minutes is the best summary I have heard in quite some time.
   Share it widely people. It is the sad and unvarnished truth

4. Poor Wolf. He has a VERY grave look on his face. Not because of the threat of ISIS being explained to him. But because of the relentless criticism of Dear Leader.

5. But is there really a difference between islam and isis? Oh I’ve heard all the whining that there is, but I’ve seen little actual evidence that moderates even exist. And if they do exist, they will become irrelevant anyway, as they won’t stand up against isis or any other terror group for several reasons I’d guess. Fear of being killed springs to mind just for one. JMO

6. Very good analysis; too bad the president is distracted with his legacy activities. Too bad he was distracted with getting re-elected another time Americans were attacked. Why do he and others need to condescend to the public the biggest problem is Islamophobia, or a backlash on Muslims, which simply has not materialized. That’s their “greatest worry?” Well, except for global warming.
   Obama did make a reference to stepping up the air campaign. By ruling out any US conventional ground forces he sent a message to our allies they are in it by themselves. Some rah rah. Instead of uniting Americans, Obama and the Dem establishment seem keen on fabricating a Muslim backlash meme along with divisive discussion of gun control, an issue that while somewhat related to this incident, is a contentiously arguable on policy and far from established as the cure for this terrorism and other violent gun attacks. People on no fly lists can’t own guns? How many of them work for Homeland Security? OK, so that’s the answer, disarm the people. Then again disarming the police tactical squads seems their answer too. I watched a Texas senior lawman describe how the federal government has removed all tracked armoured personnel carriers from his tactical squads. They sent letters in Jan, showed up and Nov and took the APCs from the police, across the nation apparently.
   Why because they were disturbed by the militaristic look in Ferguson. That is the level of government today, so removed from reality. Oh that mean looking military APC sends the “wrong message.” OK let’s deprive tactical teams of vehicle cover as they approach a shooter. Sure that makes sense, the intelligentsia has opined and therefore ruled they don’t need them:
   “Over the last several years, however, community members, LEA leaders, civil rights advocates,and elected leaders have voiced concerns about what has been described as the “militarization” of law enforcement due to the types of equipment at times deployed by LEAs and the nature of those deployments.1 The most widely publicized example of this phenomenon occurred during the widespread protests in Ferguson, Missouri, in August 2014. At times, the law enforcement response to those protests was characterized as a “military‐style” operation, as evidenced by videos and photographs that showed law enforcement officers atop armored vehicles, wearing uniforms often associated with the military, and holding military‐type weapons.2 Even before the events in Ferguson, however, civil rights organizations conducted significant research on the perceived harms of “militarization” of civilian law enforcement agencies in the United States and advocated for systemic change.”

   That APC sure came in handy in SD? The idiocy astounds me – the civil rights movement is dictating police equipment policy, them deciding which is appropriate? Then again Obama’s senior intelligence advisor has a PhD in Fine Arts. Furthermore, Obama’s challenge to Congress – again when his administration has removed so many of the intelligence gathering options available to the law and security enforcement agencies – is to accept his flawed response. I guess proper oversight of refugees would also be too militaristic and thus divisive. Is he actually trying to make America less secure?
   Instead of action, Obama puts on the binders, crying about gun control, Islamophobia and global warming. The enemy must be laughing as he allows them to become a truly existential threat as they ramp ujp attacks and inevitably acquire and deploy weapons of mass destruction. Instead of crushing ISIS, he allows that inspiration for self-radicalized fighters to remain. It will take some ground forces, yes some US forces, about 10,000, to lead a larger force to root out and destroy the ISIS forces, who while good at picking on unarmed civilians, don’t stack up to properly robust military forces. I just hope they aren’t too militaristic about it.
   I get the impression this is so inconvenient for him, it’s getting in the way of his legacy as the man who slowed to rise of the oceans and healed the earth, while he presides over its scorching. Sorry Mr Obama, adding a few airstrikes with the French won’t get it done and guarantees a larger war in the future.

7. “But is there really a difference between islam and isis?”
   Wrong question since the followers of the Islamic State clearly represent a subset of Islam.
   Not all Muslims are Islamic extremists but all Islamic extremists are Muslims. The question becomes: “how do Muslims intend to deal with this reality?”

8. Terry;
   Isn’t that the crux of the issue. Saudi Arabia has been financing international Islam for decades. Their brand of Islam is no less brutal than ISIS. They regularly execute those that stray. The Saudis are experts at buying opposition off. I suspect many in the West have been bought through various means.
   ISIS is in fact a force that the Saudis started. They saw an opportunity to take Syria down and install a pro Sunni regime. It simply went terribly wrong and this very force now threatens Saudi Arabia. Do we see Saudi ‘boots’ on the ground to save their own skins? Absolutely not!
   The Syrian refugee crisis and the mass exodus from that country, earlier it was Libya is a joke. Not that I do not think there is a brutalization of those populations.
   The idea that moving these people out will make a serious difference is a joke. We are talking 100’s of millions of Arabs that are routinely exploited by their 7th century governments. Not even a fraction can be moved. Only well supported refugee camps in Saudi Arabia will force a resolution of this problem. It is a problem that Arabs created and should be forced to deal with. Many of these countries are incredibly wealthy. Finance is not the issue.
   As I like to point out Iran has never invaded another ME country. That cannot be said for many of the Sunni led countries. Contrary to MSM Saddam Hussein was a Sunni and yes the Saudis helped him financially.

9. Good commentary, but I disagree with one of his statements: Obama’s head is not in the clouds, it’s up his, er, it’s somewhere that the sun don’t shine!

10. Just imagine if Trump gets elected and actually does something.
    Canada will become Down Home for the visiting Jihadi set.
    And the little Trudeaus will carry on the family tradition and all have their very own Uncle in Fidel.

11. Like I said about a month ago:
    “Just Sitting back and watching terrorist attack Sanctuary cities, and gun free zones.”
    We will have more attacks, but I hope to see many more Americans getting fed up with Obama’s surrender monkey ideology, then taking up weapons to attack Islamic’s and defend themselves.
    As Glen Beck said:
    ‘If this president continues his ideology,
    He has to be the dumbest son of a bitch on the planet.’

12. I read a history of the invasion of Normandy in WW2. In the weeks leading up to the invasion, the Allies bombed the crap out of the region, trying to destroy infrastructure like railroads, bridges, and German positions. Lots of French people lived in the area. The pre-invasion bombing resulted in the death of 19,000 French civilians! There was no way to separate out the civilians from the military targets, they were intermingled. In the case of Islamic State, they have supported themselves by selling stolen oil on the black market, in the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars. Yet the oil wells and oil production facilities were not bombed until very recently, to avoid “environmental damage,” thus facilitating the rampage of IS. The war against IS is a joke, and will continue to be a joke.

13. Wolf looks like he’s about to cry hearing this about the won. Seriously watch Wolf’s face it’s hilarious.

14. Poor Brrraakk.
    He needs to step up his game, and start taking selfies, like a real leader.
    Bwahahahahaha!!!

15. Terry, ever hear of the Kurds, they are not of the choir boy pedophile faith!!
