Omar Mateen called the cops to pledge his fealty to ISIS as he was carrying out his mass murder in Orlando early Sunday. Twelve hours later, the president of the United States declared that “we have no definitive assessment on the motivation” of Omar Mateen but that “we know he was a person filled with hate.”The Wall Street Journal reports Mateen made trips to Saudi Arabia in 2011 and 2012 to do the Umrah, known as the "lesser pilgrimage." They note the shooter in San Bernardino had also made two pilgrimage trips there.
Here again, and horribly, we have an unmistakable indication that Obama finds it astonishingly easy to divorce himself from a reality he doesn’t like — the reality of the Islamist terror war against the United States and how it is moving to our shores in the form of lone-wolf attacks.
Do we see a recurrent pattern emerging here? If so, our President willfully refuses to recognize it.
