BALTIMORE, Maryland, Thursday, July 14, 2016 (Bastille Day) - Retired Army Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn, the former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency under President Obama, and a man on Donald Trump's Short List of persons being considered as his vice-presidential running mate, tonight called for the heads of Muslim nations around the world - and especially the powerful states in the Middle East - to band together publicly to condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the massacre of innocent civilians which took place tonight in Nice, France. Late reports say that 77 are now dead after someone drove a large truck down an ocean-front promenade crowded with pedestrians. Dozens are said to be injured, although some estimates on the number of survivors who are injured have dropped. While ISIS and other terrorist groups have not claimed responsibility for the attack, French officials have identified the driver of the truck as a 31-year-old Tunisian. The driver was killed by police after he lept from the truck and ran down the street firing a rifle at innocent bystanders. It is not clear how many of the dead were killed by bullets.
Flynn, appearing on Fox News, appeared extremely angry and described himself as such. Flynn said that the time has come for ISIS to be confronted and completely defeated. He said that the west's willingness to coddle the large Muslim States has allowed the fight against the terrorists in ISIS and Al Qaeda to linger on far longer than is necessary. Flynn was openly critical of Obama, for whom he worked.
It was revealed this week by Flynn that he never was afforded the chance to meet with Obama, even though he held the highest intelligence posts in the Obama regime. Obama has not said how or why he never met with high intelligence officials in his own administration.
