Louie Gohmert: Obama 'Empowering Radical Islamists' Instead Of Protecting Christians

[okaawhatever]

President Barack Obama is "empowering radical Islamists" like Boko Haram by promoting policies that led to the militant group's kidnapping of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls last month, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) alleged in a Wednesday interview with World Net Daily.

"As someone whose cousins were Christian missionaries in Africa, I have a difficult time watching the current administration appear to spend more time empowering radical Islamists in various countries than defending or protecting Christians," Gohmert said.

Gohmert advised the Obama administration to emulate former President George W. Bush's strategy in the War on Terror, without investing in any nation-building efforts.

"If this administration went after Boko Haram the way Bush went after the Taliban, a few hundred special ops and intelligence personnel could be embedded, give air support, then totally defeat them without repeating the Bush administration's mistake when they added tens of thousands of troops that became 'occupiers,' and engaged in nation-building," Gohmert said.

1. Gohmert is an embarrassment to the human race

[VanillaRhapsody]

2. I think your username says it all.... okaawhatever

to Louie Gohmert...

[shenmue]

3. I heard we just sent 80 troops to look for the girls

So how is that empowering the radicals? Does Gohmert even know what that means?

On second thought, he's Gohmert, he probably doesn't.

[Scootaloo]

4. "If this administration went after Boko Haram the way Bush went after the Taliban..."

Okay, so Obama should invade Namibia?

[BeyondGeography]

5. Holy wars

That would be so cool.

[mylye2222]

6. This Gohmert statements shows only how

That whole hoax of Obama-is-Muslim has been printed in collective consciences.

Sad and pathetic.

[Swede Atlanta]

7. Of course Gohmert cannot describe a single scenario in which this is true....

First of all "Gomer", Bush attacked the Taliban because they harbored AQ that attacked us.

The case of Boko Haram is totally different idiot.

1. Nigeria is not a failed state. They are the largest economy in Africa and have fairly good domestic capabilities
2. Boko Haram did not attack us. We cannot start looking for these guys or undertake any action against them on our own. We can only do so at the request of the Nigerians
3. Bush never got Osama bin Laden, Obama did

So, Gomer, shut up.

[okaawhatever]

10. +10,000 But I have to say, I think it would only be a couple of years before Boko Harum started

attacking Western targets if not the West itself. Whoever is funding them now has deep pockets and a willingness to train them, arm them, and help them takeover Nigeria. They have killed thousands. Over 100 ended up dying from the two bomb blasts yesterday.

12. 90 Troops and Drones to eradicate the radical Islamist

That doesn't sound like "Empowering" to me, and what about the Radical Christians that have taken their vitriol to Africa for as long as history can remember? What should we do with them....90 troops and more drones for them?

[Prophet 451]

13. "Empowering radical Islamists" by killing lots of them?

This president has been responsible for more deatsh of radical Islamists than smallpox.

when will you learn to STFU already?

We are NOT a Goddamn Christian nation (get it, I said Goddamn and Christian!) we are not an Allah-damn Muslim nation, we are NOT a Krishna-damn nation, we are not a Jewish-damn nation.

We are a Nation of diverse peoples and cultures whose CONSTITUTION guarantees SEPARATION of church and state and FREEDOM of the religion of our choice, NOT YOUR CHOICE, you fucking goober.

[Spirochete]
