Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee is a big underdog in the race for the GOP nomination, but you wouldn’t know it the way he’s gone after President Obama as of late.
In an editorial he penned for foxnews.com, he attacked the president’s “mishandling” of ISIS and other al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists. He opened his piece with a reference to last weekend’s terrorist strike on the Radisson hotel in Mali.
“These barbaric terrorists spared the lives of hostages who proved their Islamic bona fides by reciting the Koran, while 27 innocent civilians were killed,” he wrote. “After this attack in West Africa, Obama’s new domestic terrorism plan probably requires Americans to memorize (Quran) verses.”
Huckabee went on to suggest Obama is more interested in protecting the reputation of Islam than protecting the American people, a popular stump line of late. He went on to reference the fact the perpetrators of the attacks on 9/11, the U.S.S. Cole, Benghazi, Kenya, Tanzania, Boston, Fort Hood and Paris were all radical Islamists.
“On Friday, French authorities revealed another Paris attacker was masquerading as a Syrian refugee,” he continued. “Two others conspirators had visited Syria, including one who had trained with ISIS. This past week, authorities apprehended five Syrians in Honduras with fake Greek passports.”
Noting that Syrians have been apprehended while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexican border near Laredo, Texas, Huckabee said the current refugee situation must not be taken lightly. He said Americans need “real strength, moral clarity and common sense.”
“Obama’s politically correct, press release foreign policy is a complete disaster, and it shouldn’t take another Paris or Mali for the cartoonish clowns in the administration to wake up,” he concluded.
