Allen West Takes Epic Stand Against Obama, Says What No One Else Will According to recent reports, the Turkish Air Force shot down another Russian fighter jet yesterday, after they allegedly violated Turkish airspace. The attack killed at least one Russian pilots, who bailed out of the jet. Shortly after the incident, President Obama held a joint news conference with French President Francois Hollande. Former Florida congressman Allen West, who viewed the conference, immediately took to social media to express his concerns about Obamas comments regarding the shoot down. Obama is delusional. First of all just more pabulum and talking points, West wrote on Facebook. It should not take a prepared speech to say what needs to be said, the difference between an ideological politician and a leader. The airstrikes have been ineffective. There is only one statement that needs to be made: will there be a NATO Article V response against ISIS. This is not about Russia and Syria. We do not need Obama to lecture us about our strength and resilience. We are a nation of lions, sadly being led by sheep. What do you think? Do you agree with West?
