OPINION:
Despite the massacre in Paris last Friday, it is doubtful that President Obama will stop lying to the American people. But no, Mr. President, global warming is not the world’s most dire issue and the Islamic State is not a ’JV’ team. They are not on the run, and neither gun control nor income inequality precipitated the events of Nov. 13. Nor were the massacres an isolated attack by a few radicals.
Indeed, the attacks were an appurtenant manifestation of a larger, highly dangerous ideology known as Islamic terrorism. It is an evil that must be eliminated. Such an effort requires a multinational coalition led by a determined United States.
Terrifyingly, however, this admittedly monumental undertaking is far beyond the scant capabilities of the community organizer currently acting as the American president.
