"Mali Hotel Attack Leaves Dozens Dead, Including an American."-New York Times.

Heavily armed gunmen shouting “Allahu akbar” stormed a Radisson Blu hotel Friday morning in Bamako, the capital of the West African nation of Mali, seizing scores of hostages and leaving bodies strewn across the building.

Personally, I have never known a Presbyterian to shout "Allahu akbar." 

ISIS promised in that video I linked to in the last week to "spill oceans of blood." 

Obama must be about ready to pull his hair out. An American killed here, Americans killed in Paris, we travel, Americans do travel. Besides Boston, there has not been a major attack on the "homeland" since 9/11/01, and that was by "homegrown" (sorta) terrorists. And that is huge, HUGE. But we do travel we are going to get killed by ISIS when we travel--Like the Russians!--and you can really not say that your strategy of "containing" ISIS is the one right way when Americans are getting killed while abroad. This was at a Raddison for godssake.

Now Obama, good lawyer that he is, could point out that this was not ISIS, it was some other group called Al Mouribitoun, which may be ISIS' Jay Vee team, I don't know!, two groups actually, the aforementioned and an al Qaeda Jay Vee team, and that therefore this case is not "on all fours" with that case. I'd put that in my brief, heck yeah, I would, but in the Court of American and world opinion, you may get a "Good argument, counsel" compliment from the judge before (s)he rules, "Denied."
