First I do not accept stories from a source who does not tell me about who they are.

Second there is a difference between implying, and inferring.

The left will overstate any thing they can to discredit or demonize Trump.

My analysis is if you think the president has done anything to stop ISIS in the US, I would like to know what it is.

Trump is playing on peoples fears. This is one hell of an unfortunate event, but does the President HAVE to announce within 15 seconds of notification of the event it's radical Islam? Is there a time period that he has to call it one way or the other? Dylan Roof has a weapon, goes into a church and kills many unarmed people, lets one live to tell the tale, but no one mentions his religion. They went after some rag on his chest and banned it, but NO ONE went after his religion. Why? Because he is a Christian, and we ALL know Christians NEVER do harm to each other. We ALL know that there is not a word mentioned in the bible where anyone was killed. Christianity is a religion of peace and harmony for all that follow. Now this guy, olive skin, legally bought weapons, educated, and stable family. He is an American, and his roots go back into the Stan. He's a Muslin and ALL Muslims are bad, the religion is based off hate, they want to conquer the world and put it into Sharia Law, and anything else bad you could think of in this case. So Trump, being there are Christians in this nation who kill at will, "train" in camps that are bent on overthrowing the government, too many hate groups (pick your flavor). Are we going to round them up, seize their weapons, and tell them that they're bad Americans? You couldn't even get your lies straight when asked about Duke. BUT we want to discriminate against an absolute. The news won't mention that it's NEVER ALL of the people, but let them tell it, Muslims are going to wipe every infidel off the face of the earth. One man, killed these people. One man made a decision that was TOTALLY wrong, and now millions of immigrants who have come here 30 years ago to 30 minutes ago are carrying a burden they had no part in. Trump is an ass. He puts these "subliminal" messages out there, knowing good and damn well people know who he's talking about, and then he'll follow that with "I'm not saying but....". Fool you DID say it. He brags about he warned us this would happen. So if I tell the world today that the Arctic is cold, and will be cold for the next millennium, is that really a "prediction"? When 9/11 happened, you didn't see Bush on tv 15 seconds later saying this was an Islamic attack. You didn't see him three hours later talking about it or giving it the label of terrorism. He got with his staff, got briefed, came up with a plan and THEN made his announcement of what many already knew. THAT is how it's done. He was completely professional in how he did it being Bush knew words carry weight, and the wrong words can do more harm than good. Obama knows this too. Let the investigation take it's course and then bring the hammer and label's out.

COL Jean (John) F. B. - Sir I will do what you said and look it up. I try not to watch TV being I get sick and tired of the "drama" anchors put out there while not saying a damn thing. So I'll go online and read it. Hard to "really" make "drama" through words on a page. Doing your due diligence is required even in this case. This dude KNOWS he is going to die. There's no doubt in his mind, so if you're going to go, go hard. I saw how he went on sites looking for Jihad and ISIS links. I did that myself for a school paper. Didn't mean anything past that. It was for reference in my case.
Hypocrisy? What is it that the President... ANY President to do in situations like this? Is there a Presidential "template" they should use to interact with the populace? He has cabinet members who brief him, and from there it goes where it does. Again Bush had 9/11 and damn near everyone KNEW what it was, but he held his cards until his advisors gave him enough to go on so when he presented it to the people, there was no doubt. He and all Presidents before and after are human. Liberal media is the SAME as conservative media outlets. Different names, different faces, same ignorant spin on the same stories. Neither one is worth a damn.

SSG Warren Swan - I understand what you are saying, however, there is no reason at all for Obama not to identify these murders as "Radical Islamic Terrorists". All the excuses he uses are pure and simple BS. Americans have the right to question his loyalty to the US and his motivation when he refuses to identity the enemy by what they are. I have my opinion about why he does not...

COL Jean (John) F. B. - And of course - having lived in the UK during the times of the IRA - you're assuming that he truly was Islamic and not a plant. There were a ton of Irish groups that would set off harmless bombs, call the news, and say "we are the IRA" just to stir up crap and get people anti-Irish. So are we certain that this guy is really who the media says he is and not a planted guy? Has anyone heard the 911 tape?

PO3 Donald Murphy - Yes, that is possible, but highly improbable, given the facts that have come out concerning his history. And, yes, the 911 tapes have been released (at least, some of them). Anybody who thinks this murderer was not a radical Islamic terrorist simply does not have a good grasp of reality.
