Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump outlined his plan to combat terrorism. Trump blamed President Obama and Clinton for the rise of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. Trump mentioned “The Obama-Clinton foreign policy has unleashed ISIS, destabilized the Middle East, and put the nation of Iran — which chants, ‘death to America’ — in a dominant position,” he also told the gathered audience that Clinton “lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on ISIS and all of the many adversaries we face.”
As noted by Alex Newman in his August 15 article, “Vast amounts of evidence show that the Obama administration and Obama’s misnamed “anti-ISIS” coalition were actually responsible for arming, training, and funding ISIS.
Indeed, a 2012 Pentagon report even stated clearly that creating such a jihadist “principality” in Eastern Syria was exactly what the White House and its allies were aiming to accomplish.” “The common thread linking the major Islamic terrorist attacks that have recently occurred on our soil — 9/11, the Fort Hood shooting, the Boston bombing, the San Bernardino attack, the Orlando attack — is that they have involved immigrants or the children of immigrants. Clearly, new screening procedures are needed,” he said.
