Obama Seeks "Fuller Understanding" of What Happened in Algeria Siege
Reuters ^ | Saturday, January 19, 2013 | Matt Spetalnick

Posted on 01/19/2013 4:02:40 PM PST by kristinn

President Barack Obama offered on Saturday to provide any assistance the Algerian government needs after a deadly hostage siege at a desert gas plant and said the United States was seeking a "fuller understanding" from Algerian authorities of what took place there.

"The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with the families of all those who were killed and injured in the terrorist attack in Algeria," Obama said in his first comments on the hostage crisis.

Obama's written statement was issued by the White House after the Algerian army carried out a dramatic final assault to end a siege by Islamist militants in which 23 hostages were killed, many of them believed to be foreigners.

The statement made no mention of Americans who were caught up in the hostage crisis.

Well Barack, your second attempt to release the blind Sheik was foiled, and more American’s died.

Execute the Sheik and keep Americans safe.

Why doesn’t Obama seek a fuller understanding of what happend in Benghazi,

Because Obama knows what happened in Benghazi, it was international gun running that went bad, gunrunning that Obama set up to funnel thru Libya. Gunrunning to terrorists like the ones in Algeria.

that was the reason for the attempted cover-up

Why doesn’t Obama seek a fuller understanding of what happened in Benghazi?

Benghazi was a result of Obama arming Al Qaeda and other rebels (i.e. terrorists) who caused Obama a bump in the road.

Obama believes Americans are STUPID and never will figure out that he is working for the Islamic Terrorists takeover of the world. So far he is right.

"Anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button....the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."

Christian conservatives angered by Obama's comments on Islam at UN

"Since all Islam demands everyone recognize Mohammed as God's true prophet – for the Salafists, Sufis and Shia – anyone who does not acknowledge the prophet is considered not only an infidel – but slander the prophet by their refusal to submit to him," it said. "Obama knows this having been raised a Muslim in Indonesia. His speech at the UN was an all-out assault on not only freedom of speech, but of faith. In cleverly cloaked words to deceive ignorant Americans, key phrases ping the ears that the Muslim world will understand what Obama really means.

I know exactly what happened.

People died while Obama sat undecided.

You have no idea why Obama sits on the sidelines. Obama is one of them, he is working against us, not for us.

Economic recovery? Obama is doing everything he can to destroy America economically

Energy increase? Obama is shutting down every coal plant he can, your electric rates are going to explode.

Arab Spring? Obama is doing everything to overthrow legal governments and replace them with Islamic radicals LIKE HIMSELF.

Etc.

A terrorist in the White House and you think you know what is going on.....

since he probably armed the terrorists who took them hostage.

WHY did you say PROBABLY? It has been obvious for years that Obama was using his Arab Spring to overthrow legal governments and replace them with Islamic terrorists.

Are you waiting for the NY TIMES to tell you the truth about Obama?

Of course Obama is giving Al Qaeda weapons. That is why Obama lied about Benghazi.

“the future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.”

Direct from the mouth of a closet-muslim. We’re doomed.

I wonder, if after the next 4 years of sucking up to and apologizing to these thugs, essentially giving them everything he can, he will go insane. Liberals think that if we would just admit how evil we are and would work to understand those that hate us, utopia will occur. After the Arab Spring and his apology tour, Benghazi & and this must rattle his foundation.

All of this theorizing requires that he is actually a hard core liberal and not a puppet. Just thought I should clarify.

Muslims are murdering savages-—there’s your fuller understanding, Soetoro. Go exterminate them.

Muslims do not under any circumstances cause harm to other Muslims. Obama figures Americans are idiots and will never figure out that he is doing everything he can to destroy America and further Islamic domination of the world. Or didn't you notice what happened in Egypt?
