Former director of national intelligence James Clapper spoke out on President Trump's travel ban on Friday, saying he fears the order could create a "recruiting tool" for extremists. In his first interview since leaving office, The Obama-era official told CNN's Jim Sciutto he is unaware of any intelligence that would prove the need for Trump's executive order banning travel for nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries.

Standard line from liberals. “If you upset the enemy, you create a recruiting tool.”

What a crock of shit this is. What about Gay Marriage? It is an abomination in their eyes with divine permission to kill, and they do.

They’ve been recruiting for 1400 years. It has nothing to do with America. It has everything to do with the koran and their seventh century mentality.

Base on their record when it comes to growing ISIS, I’d do exactly the opposite of whatever Barry’s people say to do.

Just another Democrat talking point lie and they know it.

They might just as well blame President Jefferson sending the US Marines to Tripoli.

We have to let them in or they will kill us........

Stupidity.

Islam has been at war with the rest of humanity since 622 A.D.
They aren’t going to stop until everyone on earth submits to Islam.
Their prophet commands them to subjugate, convert or kill all others.

Mohammedans already have very effective “recruiting tools” and use them a lot. Clapper is just putting forth the Leftist mantra that whatever a civilized person or population might do other people are rightfully driven to kill and blow things up. This attitude applied to a government is suicide for the culture if not flushed out and eliminated.

But I thought they said the white supremacists were more to fear than the Islamists, in which case wouldn’t it be that allowing these people into the country would be a recruiting tool for the “alt-right”? Under their confused contradictions isn’t it better to tick off the one group by banning than to tick off the other group by allowing entrance? They are tangled up in their various agendas and manipulations.

They finally trotted that old canard out again. Everything the right does to stem radical islam is a “recruiting tool”. The left seems to think if we let them in they will behave and not recruit. I wonder what color the sky is in their world.

And he probably fears that the local supermarket sale on bacon and pork chops this weekend will also be a Muslim extremist ‘recruiting tool.’
