drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Presbyterians? It's obviously those Catholics at it again. Oh wait... Not good scary situation. I feel for the victims right now especially if there are hostages.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Obama has it under control, just ask bin laden (allegedly)
B-Man Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 I guess that they did not broadcast the State of the Union there ? If only the terrorists in Jakarta were able to hear Obama's unifying speech of tolerance, hope, and change.

Ozymandius Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Is this an active Muslim situation, or has everything resolved?
Deranged Rhino Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 It was active last night when I posted originally, as far as I've heard it's been contained with 7 people dead and over 23 wounded. No official confirmation on how many of the dead were the attackers.
keepthefaith Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Bush's fault! Bush's fault! Without a doubt.
Doc Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 So not Presbyterians? No, just that damn JV team again.
starrymessenger Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 No, just that damn JV team again. Not to worry. Just another "regional power".
drinkTHEkoolaid Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 No, just that damn JV team again. They're on the run.......expanding to new areas of operation.
Deranged Rhino Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 They're on the run.......expanding to new areas of operation. Indonesia isn't really a new area of operation for extremists, maybe for ISIS (if this turns out to in fact be ISIS) but not terrorism. They've got a population of over 206 million with 95 or 96% of those being Muslim. Sadly they've had plenty of attacks by extremists since 2001, including one of the biggest at Kuta Beach in '02 where 202 people were killed and another 200+ injured. This is the first attack in Indonesia in nearly 3 years though... so who knows.
Keukasmallies Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Must be some pop-up group; POTUS has vanquished all the others.

How long was ol' barrack husein Obama in Indonesia for again?
