In a move that will come as a shock to anyone, President Red Line actually labeled the wholesale slaughter of Christians in the Middle East as a genocide. But in typical Obama form, he followed it up by promising to do exactly nothing to help them. As Townhall reports:
After months of pressure from humanitarian groups, the State Department finally labeled ISIS’ slaughter of Christians and religious minorities genocide. The decision was welcomed by anyone concerned with religious freedom, but the question becomes: Will the White House follow up the label with action?
“Secretary Kerry announced what I thought was a powerful speech,” Earnest said at a White House press briefing on Thursday.
The secretary of state’s using the term “genocide,” Earnest said, is “significant” and “reflects the gravity of the situation.”
This new label, Earnest indicated, will continue to help them build a strong moral case against ISIL and destroy and degrade the organization.
That’s all well and good, but does it change anything on the ground, a reporter wondered.
The next step for the United States, Earnest said, is to cooperate with independent efforts to “investigate” genocide.
Again, another reporter wanted to know if he foresees the Obama administration ramping up military action against the terror group.
“The president’s going to rely on the good advice of his military commanders,” Earnest responded, before noting the 10,000 airstrikes they have already launched against ISIL.
“We have had success” in building the military might of our coalition with fighters on the ground “fighting for their own country.” We are making it harder for ISIL to recruit fighters and finance their effort, he continued.
When it was time to let millions of illegal aliens and thousands of Syrian Islamic refugees into our country, President Obama couldn’t move fast enough. Now that it’s time to protect the world’s most vulnerable, he’s nowhere to be found. Are you surprised?
