Now that it has been nearly a day since the terrorist attack in Chattanooga, I thought another quick review of the media coverage was merited. Amazingly, the liberal media is still trying to deny that this was an attack by an Islamic terrorist. Yahoo News, for example, is actually running an article under a headline claiming that investigators are searching for a motive in the Tennessee attack. According to the crawl at the bottom of the screen on MSNBC, the FBI is investigating "a possible link" between the attack and Islamic terror groups.
What kind of nonsense is this. Certain things are undeniable:
1. The shooter attacked US military installations with drive by shootings designed to kill.
2. It is Ramadan and ISIS has called upon its followers in the USA to attack police or military bases during this time.
3. The shooter is a Kuwaiti born Moslem who recently wrote on social media that "life is short" and that Moslems must "submit to Allah."
4. The shooter used an AK-47 which is not a weapon that one usually finds in an American home. He had to prepare in advance to obtain the weapon and the ammunition involved.
5. There was a tweet put out by an ISIS account something like ten minutes before the shooting began celebrating events in Chattanooga. To be fair, there is a question about the timing of the tweet, but it was either issued before the shooting started (which is what the time on the tweet says) or very shortly afterwards. Either way, it seems that ISIS in the Middle East knew about the event way too quickly for it to be a coincidence.
So was this a terror attack by an ISIS supporter? You decide. I guess we could always ask Hillary Clinton and she could tell us that a Youtube video was the cause, but I prefer to stick to reality.
