Even Democrats Worry About Obama's Wierdly Detached Views on ISIS

“I’ve never been more concerned,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein said Monday in Washington, sharply contradicting President Obama. AP

 

National Security: Speaking in another country 8,600 miles away from the U.S. capital, President Obama viciously attacked anyone who dares oppose his Syrian refugee plans. Does he include his fellow Democrats?

 

'Apparently, they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America." That was how Obama, in Manila, rebuked Republicans on Tuesday for expressing concern about ISIS terrorists slipping into America amid the 10,000 Syrian refugees he wants to bring here.

 

The president's sense of timing these days leaves something to be desired. Hours after he declared ISIS was "contained," it launched a well-coordinated, multi-pronged surprise terrorist attack in Paris.

 

And hours after chastising the GOP for being scaredy-cats about widows, a woman connected with the Paris attacks blew herself up during a raid.

 

As his feckless anti-ISIS policy gets exposed by facts on the ground, Obama is become increasingly bellicose, agitated and hostile — against Republicans, not ISIS, which Obama insists on calling ISIL.

 

And he's becoming increasingly isolated as Democrats come to realize how detached he is from reality.

 

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., sharply criticized Obama for his "all is well" boasts, saying — on MSNBC, no less — that she's "never been more concerned. I read the intelligence faithfully. ISIL is not contained. ISIL is expanding." Now Feinstein is urging caution on admitting Syrian refugees.

 

Sen. Charles Schumer of New York has also refused to fall into line, saying a "pause" might be necessary.

 

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V., signed a letter to Obama urging him to stop admitting refugees until "federal authorities can guarantee with 100% assurance that they are not connected" to ISIS.

 

New Hampshire's Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan says she doesn't want to accept Syrian refugees until the government can "ensure robust refugee screening."

 

Other governors, Democrats and Republicans alike, are complaining that the administration won't share information on how many or what kind of refugees may be headed their way.

 

Even top officials in Obama's administration don't buy his reassurances about the vetting process.

 

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said in September that he wouldn't "put it past the likes of ISIL to infiltrate operatives among these refugees," adding that it's "a huge concern of ours."

 

FBI director James Comey told Congress last month that he couldn't "offer anybody an absolute assurance that there's no risk associated with this."

 

He should know, since the FBI arrested two "robustly vetted" Iraqi refugees on terrorism charges six years ago, and suspended admission of more for months while investigating other possible infiltrations.

 

We haven't even mentioned the fact that ISIS itself said it was going to use refugees as cover.

 

In the face of such unstoppable facts, Obama's arrogance remains an immovable object.

It would be pathetic if it weren't so dangerous.
