In the wake of Fridays Islamic terror attack in Paris more questions than answers remain. But, what’s coming to light is very disturbing. Several of the killers were speaking French, suggesting they were homegrown terrorists.
As of this morning there have been 128 confirmed dead, including 8 terrorists. Some of the killers were using AK47 rifles, some had suicide vests laden with as much explosives as they could carry. There were 6 locations involved, including a soccer stadium. In each case it was where people gathered in large numbers. Obviously the intent was to harm as many people regardless of who they might be, children, elderly, men, women, it didn’t seem to matter. The object was to inflict maximum death and destruction. 
For years France has been a safe haven for Arab refugees fleeing the carnage of war, but this may be changing soon as countries across Europe reconsider their immigration policies, especially involving Muslims from the Middle East and Africa.
In the initial American response, President Obama said he was going to wait a few days before contacting his French counterpart, but later he changed his mind amid pressure from his inner circle. He finally called President François Hollande shortly before midnight French time. The Paris attack has prompted a US air strike in Libya, aimed at the local head of ISIS. Hopefully it killed the SOB.
In a press conference yesterday President Obama still refused to mention the words “Muslim” or “Islam” and terrorism in the same sentence. He instead said the responsibles in this attack have yet to be determined, even though plans were in motion to do an air strike against ISIS leaders. Obama has made a number of embarrassing statements about ISIS so-called weak capabilities, which were later shown to be gross underestimates. The Paris attack and the Russian airliner attack suggests that has many friends ready and willing to help carry out attacks far from the battlefield in Syria.
Obama’s words about bringing terrorists to justice fell far short of France’s President’s remarks that they will hunt them down without mercy. Who want to bring terrorist home to face American justice? Certainly not me, how about you? I just want them dead. I don’t want them doing life without parole taking up space and tax dollars, or sitting forever on death row while liberals wring their hands. I just want them gone. Kill them where we find them, hunt them into extinction. And blow up these freaking Wahhabi Schools for radicals. Anywhere, any place, any one, who educates people to be radical Muslims needs to go. The world has no place for them. Now back to this attack in Paris.
ISIS took the internet moments after the attacks began and claimed credit. ISIS members and radical Muslims in Syria and elsewhere were observed rejoicing at the destruction in Paris. Not sure what more proof we need, but there it is, they openly claim responsibility.
France has tough gun control laws that far exceed anything found in the USA, even in California or Washington D.C. However, that did not prevent Muslims from obtaining weapons and explosives. Holland has similar gun laws, yet a transient Muslim was somehow able to obtain a military style automatic rifle and board a train with it that was headed for France.
As of this moment, three of the terrorists have been identified as living in a shared apartment in Belgium and at least one of the eight was a confirmed refugee.
Note: Piers Morgan, an outspoken media critic of America’s liberal gun laws has been remarkably silent on the subject since the Paris attack.
This story just on the heels of Obumble and $hrilLIARy pushing for more refugees from Syria to come to the US:

Ya think somebody will actually ask a relevant question about this at tonight’s Demwit “debate?” Nah!
Any Syrian refugees admitted to the US should be required to live in and be confined to the white house.
Words of wisdom from Andrew McCarthy as the attacks were unfolding:
Tina, I completely agree with you and I can’t wait till Obama is gone. Worst president in US history. A bungling liberal denier.
Frontpage Magazine lists the liberal media response in headlines:
Reminds me of the dysfunctional enabling family members of an alcoholic. They blame themselves. They blame someone else. They refuse to acknowledge the truth even though it’s right in front of them. They come up with excuses or extravagant cover stories. They imagine a better future from a position of hope rather than action. They don’t consider the possibility that their enabling ways are not compassionate but harmful. They don’t allow the dangers to others that drinking and driving inevitably brings. No wonder we’re on a collision course for world war.
With a election year coming and people increasingly weary of the failures of the Obama administration both here in the US and abroad all that appears to Obama and his legacy is his failures do not cause the loss of the White House.
Obama is all too aware of America’s “war-weariness” and rather than explaining how or what he intends to do, he emphasizes the limited nature of the current U.S. military . His entire foreign policy is driven by the maxim, “don’t do stupid sh*t.” which are his words!
We Americans are better than this. We know there are countless courses, involving activity and inactivity, that the U.S. could choose to do — CHOOSE being the operative word, as opposed to being paralyzed by indecision. Americans know there are more choices than feckless Band-Aids that the Obama administration of waffling and crocodile tears of hand-wringing has failed at.
Obama once referred to ISIS as ” jayvees” of terrorism and said the Islamic State will “ultimately fail because the future is won by those who build and not destroy
No Obama, The future is won by those whose wills are matched by their capacities to realize them. Not a ” pre school President”
Leon Panetta expressed similar frustrations with Obama.
Panetta: ’30-year war’ and a leadership test for Obama:
“In an interview at his home with Capital Download, USA TODAY’s video newsmaker series, Panetta says Obama erred:
• By not pushing the Iraqi government harder to allow a residual U.S. force to remain when troops withdrew in 2011, a deal he says could have been negotiated with more effort. That “created a vacuum in terms of the ability of that country to better protect itself, and it’s out of that vacuum that ISIS began to breed.” Islamic State also is known as ISIS and ISIL.
• By rejecting the advice of top aides — including Panetta and then-secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton — to begin arming Syrian rebels in 2012. If the U.S. had done so, “I do think we would be in a better position to kind of know whether or not there is some moderate element in the rebel forces that are confronting (Syrian President Bashar) Assad.”
• By warning Assad not to use chemical weapons against his own people, then failing to act when that “red line” was crossed in 2013. Before ordering airstrikes, Obama said he wanted to seek congressional authorization, which predictably didn’t happen.
The reversal cost the United States credibility then and is complicating efforts to enlist international allies now to join a coalition against the Islamic State, Panetta says. “There’s a little question mark to, is the United States going to stick this out? Is the United States going to be there when we need them?”
Showing leadership in the fight against ISIS is an opportunity “to repair the damage,” he says. He says it’s also a chance for Obama to get a fresh start after having “lost his way.”

Geez…it’s weird to agree with Panetta. This is the second time that’s happened.
I’d bet his insertion of Hillary’s name in this statement was an attempt at damage control for the election.
