San Bernardino shooting "possibly" terrorist related, Obama says
CBS ^ | 12/3/2015 | REBECCA KAPLAN

Posted on 12/03/2015 8:53:44 AM PST by mojito

President Obama said Thursday that it's "possible the shootings in San Bernardino Wednesday that left 14 people dead were motivated by terrorism, but "we still don't know."

"We do know that the two individuals who were killed were equipped with weapons and appeared to have access to additional weaponry at their homes, but we don't know why they did it. We don't know, at this point, the extent of their plans. We do not know their motivations," the president said after he received a briefing from his national security officials, including FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

"It is possible that this was terrorist related, but we don't know. It's also possible this was workplace-related, and until the FBI has been able to conduct what are going to be a large number of interviews, until we understand the nature of the workplace relationship between the individual and his superiors - because he worked for the organization where this terrible shooting took place - until all the social media and electronic information has been exploited we're just not going to be able to answer those questions," he said.

The only gun control “reform” regulation that makes sense: Every area declared a “gun free zone is required to employ an armed security guard trained in anti-terrorism measures.

Could Obama be coming around to our way of thinking, FINALLY?

No...and his flying monkeys started sending out the "divert" talking points to an adoring media once the names were known, allah(pun intended)Benghazi.

This is when I wish I had a video of an entire stadium full of people saying, at the same time, "Bull-sh#t!"

The fact that they’re saying it indicates that either A) the facts will play out decisively that it was terrorism or B) they’re trying to spin a narrative yarn for their purposes. They’re using a hedge (”possibly”) which tells me that they don’t want to admit it fully out of an abundance of caution. For what, however, remains to be seen.

Bottom line: state with some of the most onerous gun restrictions in the nation continues to be a target for gun-related homicides. That is not a coincidence.

That's it.

The headline is enough. I'm convinced. Can't put it off any longer.

I've just gotta' arrange appointments with;

Or I could just surrender, and roll with it.

No 'safe zones' needed.

It's ok -- I'm good. It was just a momentary shock.

I'm fine, now...

Really. I'll be able to make it, somehow.

I agree 100%. The Quran is a TERRORIST'S HANDBOOK. Even the book should be BANNED.

..and to all Infidels who can't understand why 0bamadullah LIES at every turn, INCLUDING when he labels such attacks as "workplace violence" and not ISLAMIC TERRORISM, it's called TAQIYYA

Anyone who thinks this attack was not an act of terrorism is a 100% idiot.

ISIS has taken note: their test in CA was highly effective, as opposed to Texas, which was an Epic Fail. Expect more attacks in CA, not so much in Texas.

It must be killing him to do that, but since the evidence is so overwhelming, someone must be counseling him that to maintain any semblance of credibility, he has to go that route.

They can spin, it’s another straw on Obama’s administrations back. I’ve always hoped the Dems would turn on him politically, now I’m hoping they go down with him politically for letting it go this far.

As Trump has said — “we’re not stupid”.
