Flashback: Remember When Obama Claimed in 2013 “We have achieved our central goal which is to decapitate AlQaeda to dismantle them so they can’t attack us again.”
(NRO) We’ve been had. Again.
For six years, President Obama has endeavored to will the country into accepting two pillars of his alternative national security reality. First he claims to have dealt decisively with the terrorist threat, rendering it a desperate series of ragtag JV’s. Second, he asserts the threat is unrelated to Islam which is innately peaceful, moderate and opposed to the wanton “violent extremists” who purport to act in its name.
Now the president has been compelled to act against Islamic Jihad that has neither ended nor been decimated. The Jihad in fact has inevitably intensified under his counterfactual world view, which holds that empowering Islamic supremacists is the path to security and stability. Yet even as war intensifies in Iraq and Syria–even as Jihadists continue advancing, continue killing, capturing hapless opposition forces on the ground, despite Obama’s futile air-raids, the president won’t let go of the charade.
Hence Obama gives us the Khorosan Group.
The Who?
There is a reason that no one had heard of such a group until a nanosecond ago when the ‘Khorosan Group’ suddenly went from anonymity to the “imminent threat” that became the rational for an emergency air war, there was supposedly no tome to ask Congress to authorize it.
You haven’t heard of the ‘Khorosan Group’ because it does not exist–its a fictitious name the Obama Administration invented, calculating that Khorosan–the Iranian, Afghan border region had sufficient connection to Jihadist lore that no one would call the president on it…
Why isn’t this surprising?
Remember when the Obama Administration called the Ft Hood massacre ‘Work Place Violence and Islamic Terrorism ‘Man Caused Disaster’ or the Global War on Terrorism an ‘Overseas Contingency Operation’.
Surprise–Not. We’re being lied to again.
