Obama wishes to “gain a fuller understanding of what took place” in Algerian hostage crisis

Obama wishes to “gain a fuller understanding of what took place” in Algerian hostage crisis. The “media” barely mentioned the crisis or the president’s inept response or the fact that the Middle East is descending into further chaos… what are they talking about? See below. We’re “led” by a bunch of fools who can’t find their butts with both hands and a flashlight.

  • As was predicted earlier. The British Press has done more to discover what in the hell went on at the natural gas plant than barry has even attempted. They have been all over the Libyan debacle as well. The cluster that is the Middle East and Africa is not going to go away just because der leader wishes it to. The worshipers in msm better get up off their knees and start attempting to look like journalist just in case the whole truth comes out and they start to look like they are in the tank for ol barry.

  • At least the Algerian government knows how to handle hostage takers and terrorists. I feel bad for the collateral damage (workers), but lets face it, the rag heads would have killed them anyway. They probably suffered LESS this way.
    And I know rag heads is not a P.C. term, but at this point I don't give a f$%k.

  • Here is what took place. barry slept at the wheel, let his friends in the press lie about the fact that Al Qaeda is on the rise in Mali. The foreign policy of this administration is coming home to roost and we will soon be fighting Islam here and not there.

    There where terrorist working in the natural gas plant and who had direct knowledge of the layout and probably any plans for a way to deal with an attack.

    Yet again, barry has allowed Americans to be killed by his fellow worshipers and all the msm can do is praise him and the sheep follow the wolf to their demise.

  • ” Obama said. “In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future.”

    (remember who else used to do this?) Translation: Obama doesn't give a shit about dead Americans.

  • Obama, with the aid of the MSM, is going to shit-can this entire incident. Americans murdered by Islamic terorists are so inconvenient, they disrupt the "Arab Spring" narrative, best forget about them.

    • Ever get the feeling, and I know you do, but these people are just laughing their asses off at us? My bitch is these people don't quit, ever.

      The thing I remember most is the 'motorcycle' helmet laws when I was a kid (70s). Kinda agreed then, (that it was safer) but there were people saying, wait a minute, then they'll want seatbelt laws, and where does it end?

      And now Ohio(and the nation) has mandatory seatbelt laws and the fricking hardware from Homeland Security, night vision no less, to 'trap' people not buckled up, (don't make me find a reference, it's there, do your own homework) to enforce the "fines", it's for the children Ya know.

      Think I've had enough, I love coming here but the folks who drive me, and the country, crazy are winning I think.

      • I always figured that anyone wanting to ride a motorcycle without a helmet didn't have much to protect. Let Darwin have 'em.

        • I have to disagree about helmets.
          I have been riding for 35 years, and wearing a helmet cuts down on peripheral vision, reduces hearing, increases fatigue and neck pain.
          They also are only tested for 15 mph impact.
          I offered a friend who was in favor of helmets a deal, I would let him wear any helmet he chose and I would hit him in the head with a baseball bat. He suddenly lost confidence in the helmet.

          • Got to disagree, PJ. I raced motorcycles quite a bit in my younger days, and traveled the country doing motorcycle stunts for two years out of high school. If helmets didn't save lives, motorcycle racers wouldn't wear them.

            Having broken many of Bell's best on my head, and also seen what a good impact can do to a 12 year old head without one, I wear them faithfully. This is the voice of experience. Way too much experience.

          • As an ER nurse, I saw the results of many a motorcycle accident. More than enough to convince me that helmets were a good idea.
