White House "mum on Jerusalem attack"

[LadyEagle]

Usually, following any terrorist attack in Israel, the White House like clockwork immediately releases an official statement condemning the attack. But this time, no statement was forthcoming from either the White House or Clinton's State Department.

Naturally.

The Obama administration is cozying up to terrorists organizations.

I wonder how many more Americans will have to die in the next terrorist attack here at home to see they cannot be negotiated with.

Wasn't much to talk about... The terrorist was the only one harmed and they're dead.

(AGI) - Jerusalem, 5 Mar. - Terrorism has returned to Jerusalem: a man driving a bulldozer attacked an empty bus and a police car before being killed by police officers.

Doesn't matter. It was still a terrorist attack and certainly should have been condemned by the WH. The group that put him up to it is not dead.

I guess if you call a guy hitting an empty bus with a bulldozer a terrorist attack...? Kind of a low standard isn't it?

The group that put him up to it... If this is what they call terrorism, we should buy all the citizens a bigger bulldozer and bring the troops home. Sure would be a lot cheaper if we equipped the people with a bulldozer to fight back...

Off topic. Even though this has been discussed before on the BB, you can start a thread in another forum about it. Thanks.

Sorry, I have to hit you up with a counter-point: Is there an IQ required for terrorism?

I seem to recall some years back that at least one, possibly two terrorists blew themselves up due to a miscalculation with the timezone in which they found themselves, as an example.

Excellent point and I agree... I think the question of this thread was should we release an official statement condemning the every idiot that kills himself in the name of terrorism? At one point we'd be encouraging their idiocy.

And that's where Proverbs 26:4-5 would come in: Answer not a fool according to his folly...or answer a fool according to his folly.

Of course, re-reading the article, there's an excellent question raised: President Obama previously condemned a similar attack.

So the question is valid: Why aren't they condemning this one? Is it because only 2 police officers were injured, and no one was killed; whereas the previous attack killed 3 and injured others?

Perhaps it makes a difference if one is running for president (and wanting Jewish votes and votes from those who are sympathetic to Israel) or if one has succeeded in becoming president and no longer needs votes....just a thought.... (bolding mine)

A bulldozer rampage occurred while President Obama visited Israel as a presidential candidate in July. At that time, he slammed the attack, which killed three and wounded dozens more.

"I strongly condemn this attack and will always support Israel in confronting terrorism and pursuing lasting peace and security," Obama told a news conference.
