Much of counterterrorism is really security theater. TSA searches that have yet to stop a terrorist. Bombing raids that don't drop bombs. Soldiers standing with rifles that have no bullets in them. It looks impressive. But there's no substance behind it.
Rabbi Menachem Hadad of Brussels’ Shomre Hadas haredi Orthodox community said that soldiers who were posted outside a synagogue and the city’s Chabad House following the slaying of four Jews in Brussels’ Jewish Museum of Belgium in 2014 told him that for months, they used to guard the area with no bullets in their rifles. “It was just a show."
Of course it's just for show. Anything else would be too much. Western governments don't want to actually stop Islamic terrorism. They want to look like they're trying.
It's not just Obama. It's the whole system.
After every terror attack, there's security theater. Empty reassurances that the guys running everything are really taking it seriously. But there's no there, there. Instead they'll keep on bringing huge numbers of Muslims, creating the next wave of terror, even while they put on a show of being serious about the latest attack.
Being serious about Islamic terrorism means ending Muslim migration. Any government that doesn't want to do that is also not going to do much to fight Islamic terrorism except go through the motions.
