Statement regarding the Paris Attack by Jim Gilmore:
“Paris is presently under a major terrorist attack. Reports are coming in
of many deaths, and even a major hostage situation. This follows last
year’s terrible attack on the French newspaper “Charlie Hebdo”. Major
explosions occurred in Beirut, Lebanon yesterday.
No country will lead on its own without the U.S. showing the way.
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice and their sycophants do not
understand and will never understand this enemy. The civilized world is
at war with radical Islam and it will only end with their defeat — or
ours. There is no middle ground to be had. Trying to make them like us
is not an acceptable strategy, or a winning one. Like any tyrant, this
enemy does not respect or fear weakness and we have given them more than
enough of that these last 7 years. This will only end when we exact
justice on this enemy. And by justice, I mean kill them. They will not
wait to kill us.
We are in a major international guerrilla war, and more attacks are
coming. The Western order of democracy and liberty is under assault, and
must be defended.
Weakness breeds attacks. President Obama has followed a “pull back”
policy for years. We cannot run from the savage assaults of these
barbarians. Americans must be prepared to stand strong, and to stand by
our allies in the conflict ahead”
Governor Gilmore was the Chairman of the Advisory Panel on Terrorism and
Homeland Security for the United States from 1999 to 2003. He is a
veteran of the U.S. Military Intelligence, and was stationed in Europe
from 1971-l974. The “Gilmore Commission” is the authoritative voice on
preparation of the United States for the terrorist conflict.
