Another baffling story behind the Left's ongoing love affair with radical Islam

ISIS stands for Islamic State of Iraq and Syria(they like to throw that "Levant" thing in there, too. Just so you know that they're in charge of some other sovereign countries like, Cyprus, Turkey, Jordan, Israel, and "Palestine", which I don't consider a "sovereign country", but there's no accounting for taste).

Regarding the Levant thing: For some odd ball reason Obama is anal about using 'ISL' instead of ISIS like everyone else. But ISL territory is bigger than ISIS caliphate.

Which, if you're concerned about giving ISIS propaganda help, why does he use the term that signifies the expanded territory? It makes no sense. Particularly, in light of their ridiculous refusal to utter 'Radical Islam'.

Maybe one of Obama's JPP apologists can answer that.

hmm incisive question. I'll take a shot. ISIL is more proper it includes the levant

-shows Obama has indeed been studying his briefings

But his political agenda- what he himself called "political talking points" is to marginalize jihadist Islam

Well, it's contradictory then. That's aggrandizing ISIS. No wonder Trump wonders aloud what Obama is thinking lol.

Even if he should keep such thoughts to himself.
 
Here is an interesting quote I came across

Legion Troll said:
ISIS and al-Qaeda, the big global terror powers, tend to make their claims promptly.

Even when they take their time, specious claims bubble up from obscure groups trying to seize the spotlight.

“Historically, numerous organizations make a claim even though they had nothing to do with it,” said Samuel Tadros, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

But this time, nothing.

The lack of a claim may well indicate a lack of responsibility. Why bring down a plane if you’re not going to take credit for it?

Now ISIS is taking credit for the Orlando massacre done in its name and yet the board liberals say it still doesn't have anything to do with ISIS

So, if ISIS does take credit they aren't involved. If they don't take credit they are involved.

That is brilliant liberal logic folks. You can't learn that at community college

ISIL is aggrandizement ,as well as Islamic State.
Obama wants to sound informed even if he can't utter it.

DoJ first redacted out the pledge (9-11 call) to Baghdadi, and now just released it with the pledge .
They're heads are spinning trying to keep up the pretense
 
so, looks like the Justice Department reversed their position on the redacted portions.

The Justice Department and FBI reversed course four hours later, saying "Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate this heinous crime."

Interesting. Seems like the DOJ just caused themselves a lot of unnecessary grief. The only reason they should be redacting documents is if national security is thread, or for some other reason having to do with privacy violations - or stuff like that. The excuse they originally gave was pretty lame. I like Obama. But, when his administration does stuff like this, it drives me nuts.

And as usual, Obama blamed the DOJ and claimed the WH is totally innocent and had nothing to do with it.

:rofl2:

"As usual"? Do you have a direct quote from Obama? That would be interesting if you did. The information that was redacted had already been revealed during a news briefing by the FBI director. That's why I thought it was silly to withhold it now. It would be just as silly for the WH to try to distance themselves from the decision. We all know that the rationale given is consistent with previous statements Obama has made. Could be that someone took it upon themselves to stay "on script". Then, they were overruled. Or, could be the WH issued some sort of directive. Got , embarrassed by the political backlash. Then, reversed course. Since, it all happened with in 4 hours, I tend to believe it was the former.

The WH press secretary, or are you claiming the secretary doesn't speak for Obama?

If it was revealed, why redact it? Because liberals, including Obama, want avoid saying anything bad about Islam. But, they have no such qualms about bashing Christianity. Even Thing1 admitted he is more scared of terrorists like ISIS, though he won't say Islamic, than Christian terrorists.

Who knows what Obama is thinking lol.

What's scary is random internet dudes can sit here when they have a spare minute and pick them apart. But it's these people's jobs to not do stupid stuff.

And they get paid very well to do it.

What's wrong with Islam? No, I wasn't saying that the WH press secretary doesn't speak for Obama. You claimed Obama made a statement. I wasn't aware he had made that statement. So, I asked for a quote. Nevertheless, I agree with you that it didn't make any sense to try to withhold information that had already been released. I don't agree that terrorist are provided a "platform" simply by saying their name. Not, anymore than I believe that by merely saying "Radical Islamic Terrorism" it's going to turn the fight against terrorism around.
