The White House is eyes wide shut on Islamist terror


Another service member and a Chattanooga police officer survived gunshots after Thursday’s two-stage massacre allegedly at the hands of 24-year-old jihadist Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus called the spree “insidious and unfathomable.”

President Obama bemoaned the “heartbreaking circumstance” in which the murdered Marines found themselves.

‘‘Unfathomable”? Not if you’ve been paying attention. Islam-inspired hate crimes against our troops have continued unabated since the Obama White House first dismissed the Fort Hood massacre as “workplace violence.”

While the social-justice warriors in Washington bend over backward to appease Muslim civil-rights absolutists, Americans in uniform are dying on American soil at the hands of Allah’s homicidal avengers — but the commander-in-chief couldn’t even bother to deliver a live statement to the nation Thursday.





‘‘The US has to pay for the rape, murder, bloodshed, blasphemy it has done and still doing to the Muslims and Islam,” Muhammad railed after carrying out his plot.

As I noted at the time, Obama could barely muster up a limp written statement expressing “sadness” over what he described as a “senseless act of violence” (instead of the systematic act of Islamic terrorism that it was).


He “dialed a cellphone that he believed would ignite barrels of explosives packed into a sport utility vehicle,” The Baltimore Sun recounted. Hussain idolized Fort Hood jihadist Nidal Hasan and “thought about nothing but jihad.”

In June 2011, the feds charged Muslim jihadists Abu Khalid Abdul-Latif and Walli Mujahidh of conspiring to use machine guns and grenades to “kill officers and employees of the Department of Defense who worked at the MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Stations) located in the Federal Center South building in Seattle, Wash.” They pleaded guilty, but remained unrepentant and defiant.


In April 2015, Mohammed Abdullah Hasan was arrested after the feds uncovered his ISIS-linked plot to kill American soldiers at Fort Riley in Kansas.

ISIS hackers have explicitly targeted 100 US service members whose personal details have been disseminated online.

In May, the Pentagon raised the security threat level of military bases in the United States to “Force Protection Bravo” — the third-highest threat level on a five-tier scale.

You wouldn’t know it from Obama’s languid response.

Can someone ask the commander-in-chief: Do US military lives matter enough yet to do more than issue a canned, obligatory condolence to the families of those who serve? How many more lives must be lost before he is as roused about our troops under jihad siege as he is about Bill Cosby, the Confederate flag, “Game of Thrones” or Caitlyn Jenner?

This is not a “circumstance.” This is war.
