Letter: Nobody believes Obama’s spin
More spin than a washing machine.
President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry were defining the attack on the Istanbul airport as an act of desperation on the part of Daesh (ISIS to everybody else), even before any radical Islamic organization had laid claim to the attack.
After the brutal slaughter in Orlando, Obama defined it as more of a hate crime and refused to use any radical Islamic term, even after Omar Mateen texted, called 911, and yelled out Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, pledging allegiance to him.
“An act of desperation,” even before any radical Islamic organization lays claim to the Istanbul attack … more spin than a washing machine. Nobody believes that.
