"It's just one more indication of the viciousness and barbarity of this organization," said President Obama, who met Tuesday evening with Jordan's King Abdullah in the Oval Office, where he offered his condolences. "And I think it will redouble the vigilance and determination on the part of the global coalition to make sure that they are degraded and ultimately defeated.”“This organization”? Not these “Islamic terrorists”? Not these “animals”? Not these “sub-human creatures”? Just “this organization”? Really? Just an organization? Does he think that ISIS is just like Diners Club? Obama showed more outrage at both Tea Party Republicans and establishment Republicans for trying to end his unconstitutional actions. His continuing threats to veto legislation approved by a majority party in the Congress is, similar to threats from ISIS, also designed to cow anyone who opposes him in even the most minor way. Civil governance via threats is starting to sound a lot like the behavior of ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al-Nusra Front, al-Qaeda, Al-Shabaab, Ansar al-Sharia, Boko Haram and of course, the Muslim Brotherhood.
