"Secretary of State John Kerry said last week’s terror attacks in Paris lacked the "rationale" of the assault earlier this year on the staff of the satirical French newspaper Charlie Hebdo, comments that drew immediate criticism from conservatives. “There’s something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that," Kerry told embassy staff and their families Tuesday in Paris, according to a transcript posted by the State Department. "There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of — not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, OK, they’re really angry because of this and that.” W....T....F. Legitimacy? Rationale? He should have just shut the eff up.
You understand what he meant and he's right, this is a different attack. Why the outrage over those comments? Oh because he has a (D) behind his name.
No, I don't agree that he is right. I don't see either incident as different. To me they are the exact same thing. But even if I did agree with him, what a stupid, moronic comment to make. Someone in his position should never use the words "legitimate" or "rationale" when discussing terrorist activity. Ever. I would lambaste any republican, independent, socialist, or greenie who would say it.
To your point.... "A moment of silence for the victims of the Paris attacks was booed by Turkish fans Tuesday during a friendly game against Greece, Reuters reported. Reuters reporter Ece Toksabay tweeted that the fans booed the minute of silence before breaking out into a chant of “Allah Akbar.” 99% of Turkey is muslim.
No he's not, he's just proposing it to the most anti American religion in the history of the American universe, wake up!
Agreed but the sentiment is right. This is more dangerous because there isn't even provocation in their minds. It makes attacks harder to predict.
no not really. my point is that we are (and should be) at war with Salafism. Saudi Arabia did more to spread fundamental Islam than any other Muslim country. We are allies because they opened a can of worms that they can no longer control. It is a fact that the spread of Sunni fundamentalism comes from the Saudi's. They shoulder responsibility but take little action in what is going on now. The refugee crisis is something they encourage. Their plan is working to perfection. BTW, Lebanon just experienced bombings taken responsibility by ISIS. You were just there. They thought that wouldn't happen? It will happen everywhere.
