Kelly File – Calamitous Deterioration In The Middle-East, A “President” Who Pretends Everything Is Great

Posted on 14 February, 2015 by Rick Wells    

 

Megyn Kelly replays portions of her interview with State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki in which she greatly underplayed the weakness that the regime has shown in the face of Islamic terrorist expansionism and the false narrative that things aren’t as bad as they appear. Since we don’t have access to all of the information they do, the likelihood is just the opposite, that things are in fact much worse than we realize.

Bret Stephens of the Wall Street Journal joins her to discuss the freefall of secular governments around the globe and particularly in the face of rising Middle East jihadists. Stephens notes that we now have two major terrorist threats operating and growing from within the Yemen borders, the Iranian-backed Houthi’s and their Sunni counterparts.

Stephens describes the development of a “whole belt of jihadis” who are seizing control of a region, describing Obama as “desperately trying to look away.” He says, “This is a very serious problem. I don’t see how you easily roll this back unless you have a president who understands the magnitude of the problem. And the problem here is the ‘president’ recently came out with a national security strategy the essence of which is we should not overreact. Well, it’s very difficult to look at what’s just happened in Yemen and not appreciate the magnitude of what we’re facing.”
