Monday during his “Talking Points Memo” segment, Fox News Channel host Bill O’Reilly said President Barack Obama’s White House is disengaged and seemingly “afraid of the Muslim world.”
O’Reilly said, “It’s been going on for a long time and we have no coordinated strategy to defeat the jihad. We know where the killers are and they sit there committing atrocities all day long. In fact, some might surmise that the White House is actually afraid of the Muslim world.”
He continued, “One of the reasons America was hit so hard in 2001 is that we were unprepared. Our intelligence services under estimated al Qaeda, and our immigration authorities were asleep. Well, here is the truth, in 2015, immigration authorities are still asleep. Anyone can get into this country. And while our intelligence certainly has improved, public interest in terrorism overseas and the dangerous Iranian situation is almost nonexistent. Instead, American citizens are fixated on personal matters, as you heard, and an obsession with the internet. The jihadists know this. They know they can pretty much do anything and America and the west will not respond directly. By drones, that’s it. ISIS doesn’t fear the USA and certainly Iran is pushing us to the wall. Sadly, the president doesn’t seem to be very engaged.”
