My friend Prof. Greg Dolin of the University of Baltimore Law School writes, "When Barack Obama ran for President, he argued that terrorism should be primarily a law enforcement rather than a military issue. Now he apparently thinks that it's primarily a labor and human services and not a law enforcement issue."
The source of Greg's remark is the following story, which I post with only the observation that this Administration's delusional thinking about terrorism has gone past the point of parody.
White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Friday that FBI Director James Comey was not invited to the White House Summit to Counter Violent Extremism, because they didn't want the perception that the conference "was overly focused on law enforcement tactics...."
"Certainly law enforcement is a very important role to play. That's why we had the nation's top law enforcement official in attendance," Earnest said.
"That's why we had police chiefs and other law enforcement officials from communities across the country in attendance, but the focus here is on the broader set of tools that are available to communities all across the country to protect vulnerable people who could be susceptible to violent extremist ideology that's propagated on social media," he added.
That's it, ladies and gentleman. We plan to fight Jihadist decapitation with Facebook posts about how to moderate the inequities of capitalism. If you gave me a thousand years, I could not come up with this stuff.
