Gov. Jindal Issues Statement on ISIS Murder of Second American
BATON ROUGE – Governor Bobby Jindal released the following statement after a member of ISIS murdered a second American citizen:
“The President said last week that his Administration currently has no strategy to deal with ISIS. There is no need to even comment on that, it speaks for itself.
“I have no doubt about the President’s sorrow over the two murders of American citizens by ISIS. I am certain that this grieves him deeply. And while grieving is important, it is no substitute for a strategy.
“Let’s speak very plainly and directly about this – The Obama Administration does not have a strategy at all. It’s not that we have a flawed foreign policy; we don’t have a foreign policy.
“The President appears to simply careen from international crisis to international crisis, with no discernable governing principles.
“The world is safest when America is strongest. A weak America invites chaos. And we are seeing exactly that on the world stage right now.
“Peace through strength is not a slogan. It is a truth. We can have peace through strength, or we can have chaos and war through weakness.”
