Obama tells Orlando victims' families that he can't promise there'll be no more attacks or violence
Obama said on Thursday that grief-filled parents in Orlando pleaded with him to take steps to prevent the kind of gun violence that took their children's lives but he acknowledged, exasperatedly, that he could offer them few promises.
"Our politics have conspired to make it as easy as possible for a terrorist or even just a disturbed individual to buy extraordinarily powerful weapons, and they can do so legally,"Obama also spoke about how he felt after meeting with families who lost loved ones in the Orlando nightclub shooting:
"I held and hugged grieving family members and parents and they asked, 'Why does this keep happening?' And they pleaded that we do more to stop the carnage,They don't care about the politics. Neither do I."
We can't anticipate or catch every single deranged person that may wish to do harm to his neighbours or his friends or co-workers or strangers," Obama said. "Unfortunately, our politics have conspired to make it as easy as possible for a terrorist or just a disturbed individual like those in Aurora and Newtown to buy extraordinarily powerful weapons and they can do so legally. Those who defend the easy accessibility of assault weapons should meet these families,"
"If you have lone wolf attacks like this, hatched in the minds of a disturbed person, then we're going to have to take different steps in order to prevent something like this from happening," Obama continued.
"If there was ever a moment for all of us to reflect and reaffirm our most basic beliefs that everybody counts and everybody has dignity, now's the time. It's a good time for all of to us reflect on how we treat each other and to insist on respect and equality for every human being."Source: CNN
'Barack Obama is directly responsible for Orlando attacks- 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen McCain alleges
The
Arizona Republican, who has been sharply critical of the President's
foreign policy strategy, said that his failure to adequately address
terror threats led to the rise of ISIS.
"Barack Obama is
directly responsible for it because when he pulled everybody out of
Iraq, al Qaeda went to Syria, became ISIS, and ISIS is what it is today
thanks to Barack Obama's failures -- utter failures, by pulling
everybody out of Iraq, thinking that conflicts end just because you
leave. So the responsibility for it lies with President Barack Obama and
his failed policies," McCain told reporters on Capitol Hill.
After
the uproar his comments raised on social media and blasts from fellow
senators and political stakeholders, the Senator took to Twitter to say
he "misspoke," using a statement to clarify that it was not the
President himself who was "personally responsible," but his "security
decisions''.

34 migrants, including two Nigerians, 20 children, found dead in Niger desert Bodies of 34 migrants, including 20 children who were abandoned by people smugglers while trying to reach neighbouring Algeria were found in the Niger desert last week, authorities said Wednesday, June 15. "Thirty-four people, including five men, nine women and 20 children died trying to cross the desert,” Niger’s interior ministry said in a statement."They probably died of thirst, as is often the case, and they were found near Assamaka,” a security source said, referring to a border post between Niger and Algeria. “The migrants were abandoned by people smugglers,” the statement added, and only two of the bodies have so far been identified – a man and a 26-year-old woman both from Niger. Two unidentified Europe-bound Nigerians were among the dead. The nationalities of other victims are yet to be revealed. Temperatures in the desolate region can reach a brutal 42 degrees Celsius, with blinding sandstorms tearing across the desert. The hostile conditions mean that only a fraction of those who die trying to cross the area are ever found. Thousands of illegal migrants have arrived in Algeria in recent years, mostly from neighbouring Mali and Niger. Libya used to play host to the majority of migrants in sub-Saharan Africa, but since that country descended into chaos following the ousting of Moamer Kadhafi, Algeria has become the main destination for the region’s migrants. Many transit through Algeria headed for Europe, but more than 7,000 migrants from Niger, mostly women and children, were returned to their home country in 2015 as part of an agreement between the two countries’ governments. Europe has recently turned its attention to trying to curb the number of illegal arrivals from Africa, after a deal with Ankara in March slashed the number of people trying to cross from Turkey.
