ATF ordered gun shop owners to sell to people who could not pass background checks, since they were threatening the gun shop owners.

Resolve?, actually the answer may be simpler. Islamic terrorism is hardly new. The west was subjected to centuries of it in the form of Barbary piracy which included slaving attacks on Britain. The reason it was never combated was more or less the same reason as today, it would cost more lives and treasure to defeat the creeps than they take. The US was an exception in the Barbary Wars because tribute to the Barbary pirates were costing the US around 15% of its budget. Put it this way, would any Western power want to increase its defense spending, draft men into its army, risk political upheaval in order to defeat an enemy that takes fewer than a 100 lives a year? Almost no one is affected by terrorism. Higher war time taxes on a somnolent population, whose collective memory extends around two weeks, would draw an angrier reaction than a 200 casualties every three months in terrorist attacks.

‘If states, as all humanity, fail to join forces and wage a joint fight against terrorist organisations, all the possibilities that we dread in our minds will come true one by one.’

the problem is that its the states that fund and use them so that war is not declared on the state doing so (with or without others)…

Russia’s been running the islamic thing since 1920s, hitler did for a bit, but once he was gone, there was a big thing, and they even trained their people, gave them semtec by the ton, gave them intelligence, and more..

so… what ya gonna do? Declare war on Russia, or play pretend fighting over state operatives pretending they have no fidelity to anyone? Cui Buono??

Gun Used in Paris Terror Attack Possibly Linked to Fast and Furious

One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm.

“Agents were told, in the process of taking the fully auto, not to anger the seller to prevent him from going public,” a veteran law enforcement official told Judicial Watch.

It’s not clear if the agency, which is responsible for cracking down on the illegal use and trafficking of firearms, did this because the individual was involved in the Fast and Furious gun-running scheme.

A mainstream newspaper reported that a Muslim terrorist who planned to murder attendees of a Muhammad cartoon contest in Garland, Texas last year bought a 9-millimeter pistol at a Phoenix gun shop that participated in the ATF’s Fast and Furious program despite drug and assault charges that should have raised red flags.

‘If states, as all humanity, fail to join forces and wage a joint fight against terrorist organisations, all the possibilities that we dread in our minds will come true one by one.’

They should have thought about that before intentionally delaying the agreement and refusal to allow A US division into the north of Kurdistan in 2003.

Turkey, by supporting terrorist infiltration of the EU, is merely being bitten by their rabid allies.

Wherever there is a perimeter, there is a target. It’s not the terminal building, or the passenger lounges, or the parking lot.
It’s wherever there are lots of people and if it’s two miles from the terminal where the folks are lined up, there’s your target.

Irene:

I think your confusion may have come because you may not have realized that at Istanbul the security begins before the passengers enter the airport. The first security checkpoint is in front of the entrance, which is where it all began.

The DM article refers to the first security checkpoint but I don’t think it clearly states where that checkpoint was. I’m still not totally sure how far it is from the entrance doors and how far it is from the taxi stand where people are dropped off.

Yes, the details are important. The way the DM wrote it, it made it sound like he did get into the terminal.
