Washington Times: The problem with treating the Foley murder as a mere crime; Obama won’t admit it’s America under attack.
Politico reported, “[T]he attorney general was asked about Foley. ‘The Justice Department is actively pursuing justice in this case. We have an open criminal investigation,’ Holder said, adding later that the department will ‘vigorously’ proceed with the probe.”
That’s right, a criminal prosecution. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Mr. Obama declared to the United Nations in 2011 that the “tide of war is receding,” and he’s going to continue to pretend that’s the case. (You see, if he treats acts of war as though they’re individual crimes, voila, no more war.)
Unfortunately for Mr. Obama, the narrative is more important than the truth, and that fantasy now requires him to ignore the reality of the world. Cases in point: ignoring the genocide in Syria; blaming Benghazi on a YouTube video and sending the FBI; declaring the Islamic State “junior varsity” after it took Fallujah, Iraq; responding to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with a social-media hashtag campaign of #UnitedforUkraine…
God help us, now that murders like this one are just another example of “workplace violence” in the planet that Obama resides in.
I would be very interested in exactly how Holder intends to proceed with his “investigation and prosecution”…gather forensic evidence, witness statements, determine motive, round up suspects, etc? # Mr. Holder are you sh*#ting me?
