President strongly condemns terrorist explosions in Brussels

[dani67]

sorry .he isnt obama



Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has "firmly condemned" terrorist bomb explosions in the Belgian capital city of Brussels, Press TV reported.

Posting a message on his Twitter account on Tuesday, the Iranian president offered his deepest condolences to the Belgian government and people, particularly those who lost their loved ones.

Earlier in the day, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hossein Jaberi Ansari, also condemned the twin blasts in Brussels, stressing the importance of adopting all-embracing efforts to fight terrorism which is threatening the entire world.

"Repetition of terrorist operations in different parts of the world is an indicator of the common threat [posed] by terrorism and extremism to the entire world," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hossein Jaberi Ansari, said on Tuesday.

He added that such terrorist incidents highlight the necessity of "integrated and overarching" action against the ominous phenomenon of terrorism as well as centers of political, ideological and financial support for terrorism.

A series of blasts hit Brussels' Zaventem airport and a city metro station, killing at least 34 people and injuring 230 others. The Belgian authorities are treating the explosions as part of a coordinated terrorist attack.

US Troops Told to 'Run, Hide and Fight' after Brussels Terror Attacks
Mar 23, 2016 | Brussels joined the list of places Wednesday where U.S. troops can't go without a general's approval and the advice from the command on what to do if caught up in an attack came down to this: "Run, hide and then fight if necessary."

The warnings came after an Air Force lieutenant colonel and four members of his family were injured in the nail-laden bomb attacks Tuesday on Brussels' Zaventem international airport and at the Maelbeek stop on the Brussels subway near the U.S. embassy and the headquarters of the European Union. Air Force spokesmen said they could not immediately give an update on the conditions of the officer and his family members due to privacy reasons but initial reports said the injuries don't appear to be life-threatening. The service said that the officer was assigned to Joint Force Command Brunssum, a NATO command in the Netherlands which provides support to the mission in Afghanistan.

Tuesday's attacks claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, killed at least 31 and wounded more than 260, according to Belgian Federal Prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw, but he warned that the list of casualties could grow. Addressing the Corps of Cadets at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Wednesday, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said that the Brussels attacks and the injuries to the Air Force family would not deter the U.S. from its commitment to destroy ISIS. The terror bombings were "a grim reminder of how serious are the dangers we face, the dangers civilization and our country face," said Carter, who cited "the military family that was affected by these attacks."

Carter said the Pentagon will "do everything we can" to protect the Air Force family injured in Brussels and all military families against future attacks. He added that "no attack, no attack, will shake our resolve to accelerate" the campaign to defeat the extremist group. All the service branches, the Defense Department and the State Department renewed and tightened travel restrictions and warnings on the ISIS threat throughout Europe and in Turkey for U.S. citizens and the more than 60,000 U.S. military personnel in Europe, with special emphasis on the upcoming Easter holyday weekend. "The recent attacks that we have seen in Brussels and Turkey really highlight that we are facing a significant and persistent threat throughout the theater," said Robert Balcerzak, deputy chief for anti-terrorism for U.S. Army Europe.

Obama: U.S. Will Go After ISIS Aggressively
March 23, 2016 - President Barack Obama defended his strategy against Islamic State Wednesday in the wake of terrorist attacks in Belgium by the group and vowed to fight until they are destroyed.

"There is no more important item on my agenda than going after them and defeating them," Obama said during a press conference in Buenos Aires after talks with Argentine President Mauricio Macri. He said the US would continue to go after Islamic State "agressively." "We are going to continue to press on them until we have driven them out of their strong holds and until they are destroyed," Obama said. He insisted the use of airstrikes and special forces in Iraq and Syria was working and said the US would not engage in "counterproductive" actions "just because it's political season."

He dismissed suggestions by Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz that law enforcement officers should monitor Muslim neighbourhoods in the United States. Such a move would alienate Muslims and lead to more radicalization, Obama said, likening it to the monitoring of citizens by repressive regimes like Cuba. Obama also dismissed suggestions that he should have cancelled his trip to Cuba and Argentina, insisting doing so would have been giving into the fear terrorists seek to instill. "You do not have power over us," Obama said of his message to terrorists. "We are strong our values are right, you offer nothing except death."

US Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Brussels on Friday to express condolences "for loss of life" in Wednesday's attacks, his spokesman John Kirby said on Twitter. Kerry, currently in Moscow for Syria talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, will also meet with Beglian and EU officials while in Brussels.

HuffPost Editor Laments Brussels Attack Overshadowing Obama's Cuba Trip
Yes, he really said that.
Huffington Post editor Sam Stein bemoaned on Twitter Tuesday that the terror attacks wreaking carnage across Belgium are overshadowing President Obama's great Cuba outreach mission.

Dozens are dead and many more dozens wounded in ISIS terror attacks in Brussels, but the really tragic part is that those victims nearly interrupted Obama's concentration while doing "the wave" with dictator Raoul Castro at a baseball game. The wave takes perfect coordination with those seated around you, or it's a complete failure and you have to start all over again! Sigh.

Right. They always say that after radical Islamic terrorists blow things up and kill innocent people.

 

[Freewill]

Yeah, but did he refuse to call them Muslims? Huh? Huh? Huh?

Do you have some sort of poll to support that, or is it just what you want to believe? Not saying you're are wrong. I just wonder how you make such a blanket statement.

Op-Ed: Brussel's pact with Saudi Arabia gave the world Molenbeekistan
Bruxellistan? Belgistan? Take your pick. Exported from Saudi Arabia.

Bruxellistan”. “Molenbeekistan”. “Belgistan”. We cannot even count the definitions to indicate the transformation of Belgium into the base of the massacres in Paris and now targeted itself by Jihad at Brussels’ airport and metro.

To use the title of the book by Felice Dassetto, a sociologist at the Catholic University of Leuven, it is “L’iris et le croissant” (iris, the symbol of Brussels, and the Islamic crescent, together).

How did Molenbeek, the “Little Manchester” that the former Socialist mayor Philippe Moureaux proudly called a “socio-multicultural laboratory”, become the headquarters of the European jihad from Atocha to the Bataclan. How did it become the “Carrefour de l’islamisme”, the crossroads of Islamist hatred in Europe, as defined by Libération?
