    I feel like Obama is actually trying to help us because America has done a lot of snooping and getting in other's business these past few years. The bombs in different cities are a huge problem and he's trying to resolve it, but not in war. America is trying to make peace with everyone, but we really can't when there's so much fighting and hate in the world.
  • rwilson761 on 07 Dec 15
     
    I agree with what president Obama said, I think that since the attack its finally opening his eyes and realizing that were in danger to snd they need to take action and do something about it.
  • baddison758 on 07 Dec 15
     
    I think that Obama is taking very good steps in the fight against ISIS by showing the international community that we are willing to help and that we need the help of other countries to be able to defeat a force that affects everyone. I think he is doing the right thing with our defense against ISIS getting agents in our country with focusing the fight online and in our immigration process.

    I agree that Obama should at least act on the threat because of the attack. Its bring violence to his doors that he needs to act upon before its to late that terrorists are running up and down our streets. ( ZAC OLSON )

    I think that Obama is doing a good job to comfort the concerns of the U.S., and I also think why so many people think the government is doing nothing is because they have to keep some of it secret for our own safety and so ISIS does'nt known our plan.

    i think obama should act on the threat
  • ross_fisher on 08 Dec 15
     
    I believe President Obama has the right idea in taking on terrorists this way because he's not just having us as one country going after ISIS. He's having us as a group of countries go after this group that continues to terrorize for no other reason than for public awareness and publicity on their organization. He also has a good view about the "gun control" with automatic rifles, he is just saying that it's better to make sure that no one who isn't a professional can't use the weapon.

    In my opinion Obama should take action the way he plans to. How long before these plans come into action?

    (CNN) -- Australia has raised its terror alert level to "high" for the first time since the national alert system was introduced in 2003. According to the four-level system, a reading of "high" means a terrorist attack "is likely," however the country's Prime Minister Tony Abbott said no specific threat had been made.

    I don't understand this fully but from what it seems a man running towards the cockpit of a plan while also not responding to the flight attendants is something to be alert about. I think those 2 men reacted fairly towards the safety of them selves and others. I think on each planes there should be trained guys like them to protect incase there is something real like that on a plane.

    I think this guy was definitely on some type of drug to be this stupid. They said he was fidgeting on the ground so I think he was on drugs and had something mentally wrong with him. I'd be intrigued to see if they did blood work on the guy after they took him to jail to see if there was anything in his system or if he was actually trying to commit an act of terror.

  • claireboes on 20 Mar 15
     
    It sounds like this man might have just been emotionally unstable, considering that after everything happened he started pleading and saying "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." There could have been medication involved, whether or not it was prescribed or not, and other factors influencing his behavior. It doesn't surprise me that they didn't arrest him quite yet, seeing as he doesn't have any suspicious background or anything of the nature.
  • meganferleman on 20 Mar 15
     
    Its weird that they let him go, though he did not seem to right in the head. Just maybe alittle out there, not sure whats going on. But at the same time, why did they not arrest him.

    ""Journalists should ask a specific question: ... how many terrorist attacks were prevented SOLELY by information derived from this suspicionless surveillance that could not be gained via any other source? Then ask how many individual communications were ingested to acheive (sic) that, and ask yourself if it was worth it."

    The government is looking into all of our emails, letters and phone calls, the Constitution doesn't think that's very fair or right, that seem to not do that without good reason. The government explains how they do it, but not why they do it, well, only a little; to look for terrorists. Maybe the government does look too much into our mails and phone calls, what if there's something private, or not private but more people know about it than nessesary
  • Jacob Jensen on 04 Oct 16
     
    Supposedly the government is looking into private emails, and listening to phone calls to increase the security of the nation by monitoring things for terrorism. However this is the only insight given by the NSA. If it was just about terrorism that could be justifiable, but if the government is just looking through things to look for anything illegal, then the government is breaking the 4th amendment in which they do not have warrant, consent, or probable cause to look through your emails,
  • Matt Collins on 04 Oct 16
     
    I don't think the government should look into our private communications unless they have a lead on someone as a terrorist because there is a lot of innocent people who the government are looking at their private communications.

    That Abdeslam was caught at all appears to have been an enormous stroke of luck. Despite a massive security operation, the trail appeared to have gone cold, until police, initiating a search for evidence at Abdeslam's safe house on Tuesday, encountered a barrage of gunfire which tipped them off that something -- or someone -- important was inside.

Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism."

    I agree with McKenzie, even though the wall has been a topic for a few months now... people are realizing this is getting close to happening...

  • kim bagshaw on 30 Jan 17
     
    It seems like Trump is trying to get to much accomplished at one time, he's not focusing on one problem, so nothing is going to get done. My problem with the wall is that it doesn't solve the problem people will always find a way in so unless we are putting a wall up around the whole US we will still deal with people trying to get in.

    I agree with Justice because people are just going to find another way over or around the wall. Illegals are still going to jump the border and some of them will still make it into the United States. I don't understand why he is trying to do everything so fast. He does know that he has four years right? Maybe someone should inform him of that. The wall is a pointless thing especially if he's trying to get Mexico to pay for it.

    the wall is not a pointless thing. He will get mexico to pay for it. He is a man that keeps to his word. He is not bought and paid for by lobbyist, and super PACS. The wall is a great idea.

    Mexico will not pay for the wall he's insane for thinking that they're going to help stay out. All he's doing is humiliating immigrants and kind of bullying them. If he plans on bullying people all four years he has then he's not going to do anything for us and that should worry people.
  • marly mcmullen on 13 Mar 17

    Mexico might not pay. But Abby, you say he is humiliating immigrants, he is welcoming to other foreigners he just dislikes illegal immigrants, it's like somebody broke into your house and is living in your attic without you knowing. He is blocking immigration from the middle east not because he hates all muslims but because most terrorism is from that general area.
  • rwilladsen586 on 13 Mar 17
     
    I think the general concept of what he's trying to accomplish is a good idea, but of course there's plenty of flaws in the system. Mexico's obviously not going to be on board for covering the funds necessary to build the wall, and neither would any country in their position. You're going to have plenty of Mexican citizens who are totally against this and might even try to wreak havoc on the project which will only stir the pot more. On the other hand, he's making an effort to keep illegal immigrants out and follow through to his word by building the wall.
  • ahayden800 on 16 Mar 17

    Mexico will pay for the wall if the like it or not. America will just stop sending them financial aid that we give to them every year.

    I think it is insane that Trump proposed the idea of building a wall, and now is trying to make Mexico pay for it. Why would they? How does that even make sense? If Mexico doesn't pay-which they wont, American tax payers will be the ones paying for it. And it is a multi billion dollar project.

    I feel that this account is a good thing. If the media and/ or official statements of the United States are wrong, that needs to get out. Not from people saying the soldiers lied to us, but from the people that were there, the people that were in the thick of it making decisions they needed to. Hopefully this will keep the blame from falling on the soldiers for doing there job, but the guys up top telling them how to do it. And hopefully lead to better practices and ideals that are carried out on a mission.
