President Obama’s Strategy is Failing: Congress Must Fill the Void With Action
By Jay Sekulow
ISIS has struck again. Yet, in the wake of at least the eighteenth terror attack on United States soil since 9/11, President Obama still refuses to even name the enemy —radical Islamic jihad—much less confront the reality of the terrorist threat we face.
At the ACLJ, we’ve been raising the alarm about the threat of ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorist armies that have their sights set on destroying America and all we stand for. We’ve literally written the book on how to defeat and destroy ISIS.
When confronting a threat like ISIS, the first question we as Americans should ask is whether the proposed solution would actually solve the problem. President Obama’s response to the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris and right here at home in the last few weeks has been an intractable focus on climate change, gun control (in a state with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation), setting up straw-men about how we should treat all Muslims (when the threat we face is from radicalized jihadists), and refusing to change his failed strategy against terrorism.
Would any of the President’s proposed “solutions” have prevented the San Bernardino terrorist attacks, or any others for that matter? No, of course not.
In the face of ISIS’ uncontained onslaught and given the uniform conclusions reached by congressional leadership (both Republican and Democratic), law enforcement, and military brass, one thing is crystal clear:
President Obama’s ISIS strategy is failing.
In light of President Obama’s leadership failures, Congress must do everything it can to fill the void. But what can Congress actually do?
