Another day, another atrocity. Yazidis and Christians are beheaded, buried alive, and driven from their ancestral homes by psychopathic ISIS thugs setting the Middle East on fire in order to establish a Caliphate. Now the barbarity hits closer to home with the gruesome beheading of American journalist James Foley, and we fear others may suffer the same horrific fate.

And King Barack the Feckless makes a six-minute speech on the death of Foley (clocking in at slightly longer than it took the actual decapitation event), which is littered with witless statements as these:

So ISIL speaks for no religion.

Oh, ISIS/ISIL is such a religiously diverse bunch — some Tibetan Buddhists and Norwegian Lutherans must be in the mix. I wonder where they got the notion to establish a Caliphate — the New Testament? Buddhist sacred texts?

People like this ultimately fail. They fail because the future is won by those who build and not destroy.

What is this, foreign policy by Lego Systems? No, the future is won when evil is crushed. Think back to World War II when the Allies destroyed the Axis powers and then went back to rebuild the nations that were defeated, and who remain our allies to this day.

One thing we can all agree on is that a group like ISIL has no place in the 21st century. 

Why? Why is it different now than, say, in the seventh century AD when Muslims began their centuries of conquest? Are they simply on “the wrong side of history?” Or perhaps — gasp! — they are actually evil! Evil exists? That’s so. . . lowbrow, don’t ya know.

Then after that passionless speech, which the Washington Times charitably called “stern,” Obama returned to the golf course, and the New York Times posted this regrettable pronouncement on its mobile version:

Dear reader, you cannot make up such a Fail.

But the Fail will not end there. With each anemic reaction of Obama to the Islamic threat, they will become emboldened. They will penetrate the borders, which remain unsecured. Former CIA officer Mike Baker, speaking on the Laura Ingraham Show, believes there is already communication between the Mexican drug cartels and ISIS.  Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX), a member of the House Judiciary Committee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, agrees. Lt. General Michael Flynn, the outgoing director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, warns,

“I know that’s a scary thought, but in 2004, there were 21 total Islamic terrorist groups spread out in 18 countries. Today, there are 41 Islamic terrorist groups spread out in 24 countries,” said Flynn. “A lot of these groups have the intention to attack Western interests, to include Western embassies and in some cases Western countries. Some have both the intention and some capability to attack the United States homeland. For instance, we’re doing all we can to understand the outflow of foreign fighters from Syria and Iraq, many of them with Western passports, because another threat I’ve warned about is Islamic terrorists in Syria acquiring chemical or biological weapons. We know they are trying to get their hands on chemical weapons and use what they already have to create a chemical weapons capability.”

Former Vice President Dick Cheney, speaking on Hannity on the FoxNews Channel, echoed General Flynn, and added his own assessment: 

Well, I think the danger is enormous. I don’t think the president understands it. I look at things like the Rand report that was published a couple months ago that talked about a 58 percent increase in the number of jihadist groups around the world over a three-year period of time. I look at the statements by General Flynn, who’s just stepping down as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, who says over a 10-year period of time, there’s been a doubling of the terrorist threat in that part of the world.

The intelligence is there for all to see. There’s no question about what’s happening. But this president and the people around him refuse to recognize it and certainly refuse to deal with it. The damage that is being done as we talk tonight, Sean, to the American military, is enormous. They’re taking our Army down below levels we haven’t seen since Pearl Harbor. They’ve made major reductions in the Air Force and the Navy. There was a recent excellent study done by a commission, bipartisan commission, Republican and Democrat alike, studying the long-term trends of the defense budget that basically concludes that there’s no way under current circumstances we can execute the national strategy.

From a press briefing held at the Pentagon, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel states of ISIS:

“They are beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of … military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded. This is beyond anything we’ve seen.”

Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK), highest ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee told TV station KOKH 25 that

 we’re in the most dangerous position we’ve ever been in as a nation. [ISIS], they’re crazy out there, and they’re rapidly developing a method of blowing up a major US city.

So what is King Barack doing about this? Answers Ben Rhoades, senior Obama aide, to National Public Radio on the same day that Hagel issued his warning:

We haven’t made a decision to take additional actions at this time, but we truly don’t rule out additional action against ISIL if it becomes warranted.

What a comfort. It’s obvious that Obama has discovered an important fact. He has found that while he would rather leave the world alone, the world will not leave him alone. Yet this leader of the Free World, the Commander-in-Chief of the mightiest military power on earth, has basically checked out.

But if the worst should happen — should an American family be kidnapped by ISIS monsters in Europe, should they detonate a car bomb in Los Angeles, or even release a dirty bomb in Dallas, we know Obama will be scrambling to accomplish one major mission.

He’ll try to figure out a way to blame President Bush for it.
