Incompetent or Complicit

Take your choice of the above and decide where you feel the President and his administration lie. For example, of all people, John Kerry ought to have at least a fundamental grasp of guerilla warfare and terrorism.  How many “Leaders” have our Administration already killed? How many innocent victims have been killed too, just for a fleeting headline, a phantom victory?  As a nation, are we so stupid that we do not know terrorism is formed in cells, able to operate independently without a commander in chief? Are our leaders so ignorant that they think killing one more leader affects the overall capability of ISIS? Since when do three muslim attackers qualify as a lone wolf, singular? Why do muslim terrorists carry rifles, while American civilians carry “ASSAULT” rifles? Why are AR-15s  demonized while the AK-47scarried by the vast majority of muslim terrorists are characterized as “long rifles”?

Terrorism is not about taking cities and holding ground. As soon as ISIS started doing that they started having higher casualty rates. Terrorism is about striking fear and “terror” into the hearts of the common people. It is NOT about killing soldiers because they know that  by killing civilians, creating havoc and taking away from us all of our supposedly “safe” places  they can have a greater effect. These same safe places are also known as “Gun-Free” zones. The height of insanity is that even our military bases have become gun-free zones. Our administration has offered us up as targets for terrorists, either through ignorance or through intention.  While ISIS operates freely, like spilled mercury, we are being corralled and restricted, more freedoms stripped away, more surveillance focused on us, the VICTIMS.  Incompetent or Complicit?

While we are forced to live under increasingly stricter gun control laws, laws that preclude law abiding citizens from protecting themselves in target rich venues and activities. The government, conveniently arrives just in the nick of time to take the body count and talk to the press. But we are told to be brave and do not buckle under to the pressure of terrorists or they have won. In the meantime our president travels around the world, with a small army by his side, apologizing for our shameful “Islamaphobia,” while riding in his 20 ton armored car. I ask you, Incompetent or Complicit?
