Finding the Links Between the Paris Attackers...so far none are Syrian refugees,

The coordinated terrorist assault in Paris on Friday night, which President François Hollande of France said was “planned in Syria, organized in Belgium, perpetrated on our soil with French complicity,” was conducted by three teams of Islamic State attackers. Seven of the attackers died, and authorities were looking for an eighth suspect on Monday as well as the suspected chief planner behind the attack.

of patriotic Americans individually armed to the teeth and protected by the world's by far hugest and most expensive military by far ever in history?

What will it take to get President Obama to milk the fear as they should to do that which any Republican President would and always has used fear for.....milk that fear to get their polling approval ratings up!?

This is a gift, President Obama....use the Fear or lose it!

Bit...Obama...he just laughs! How can you not admire the guy for NOT exploiting the fear the corporate mass media is offering him on a platter?

The corporate mass media must be both angry and a tad confused...good on Obama for forcing them to do a double take on their relentless war drum besting.

Whether the murderers were born in Syria or not is a red herring.

The killers were ideologically/theologically driven to commit their terroristic act on orders of the Islamic State of Syria and Iraq.

I'm finding this belittling of people's concerns about the methods, tactics and origins of the terrorists rather insensitive.
