Just think Garcon/Djax/Baker all could combine for 6 of these trips.

So the last 3 days of Pres. Obama's presidency included the following actions:

B2 Bombing of Libya FoxNews (http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/01/19/b-2-bombers-strike-isis-in-libya.html)
B52 Bombing in Syria CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/20/politics/us-strike-syria-al-qaeda/)
$221 Million given to Palestinian Authority. APNews (https://www.apnews.com/b8446cbf5b504b1abaf49eb0d646367b) - find it interesting that CNN has this nowhere on their site as of right now - I searched Palestine and Palestinian, looked at the World section, and nothing. Not surprisingly Fox News does have the link.

I know we have made bombings routine over there without much public announcement, so I have to wonder why these two bombings were highlighted in the press, and the payment to the Palestinian Authority wasn't. [/Tinfoil]

The payment had been approved, then placed on hold by Congress. - from the story his last Phone and Pen action
Congress had initially approved the Palestinian funding in budget years 2015 and 2016, but at least two GOP lawmakers — Ed Royce of California, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Kay Granger of Texas, who sits on the House Appropriations Committee — had placed holds on it over moves the Palestinian Authority had taken to seek membership in international organizations. Congressional holds are generally respected by the executive branch but are not legally binding after funds have been allocated.

Yet again...this time children, mostly young girls at a concert.

Good thing Trump called them losers, that will learn em

Really?
Teenage girls were massacred and you use it as a tag line to go after Trump?
:confused?:

oh give me a break

Its just a sickening act. Intentionally targeting young girls to maim and kill.

Yup. I don't understand why security isn't beefed up everywhere for any type of mass gathering, shit FedEx won't even let you bring an umbrella in, and you gotta have your bag searched and pass the wand test to get in. Yet over there they aren't even checking bags? Feel bad for those families that were exposed to that shit last night.

Also, AW, I agree with Matty. Calling them evil losers is a weak ass response by the leader of the free world, he used harsher language to defend his Muslim ban.

what about when Obama called ISIS the "JV Squad" while laughing?

ISIS has become the most dangerous, well organized, well funded, media savyy, the best operational and strategically organized Terrorist organization in the history of the world. They have committed acts of terrorism on every major continent and have participated in genocide.

Id really like to get Obama, Hillary, John Kerry and Susan Rice together in a room to find out how they were able to look the other way and refused to act when given the choice. Its shocking to me.

I wonder why the media turned a blind eye?

Yeah, that was clearly a fuck up on Obama's part, clearly they underestimated ISIS at the start and now they're paying the price for it. But it's not like they didn't have other issues to worry about, remember that whole "dig the country out of the recession" thing that was a large issue at the time?
