Obama’s dangerous denial

By Charles Krauthammer

Janet Napolitano — former Arizona governor, now overmatched secretary of homeland security — will forever be remembered for having said of the attempt to bring down an airliner over Detroit: “The system worked.” The attacker’s concerned father had warned U.S. authorities about his son’s jihadist tendencies. The would-be bomber paid cash and checked no luggage on a transoceanic flight. He was nonetheless allowed to fly, and would have killed 288 people in the air alone, save for a faulty detonator and quick actions by a few passengers.

Heck of a job, Brownie.

The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration’s response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. From the very beginning, President Obama has relentlessly tried to play down and deny the nature of the terrorist threat we continue to face. Napolitano renames terrorism “man-caused disasters.” Obama goes abroad and pledges to cleanse America of its post-9/11 counterterrorist sins. Hence, Guantanamo will close, CIA interrogators will face a special prosecutor, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed will bask in a civilian trial in New York — a trifecta of political correctness and image management.

And just to make sure even the dimmest understand, Obama banishes the term “war on terror.” It’s over — that is, if it ever existed.

Obama may have declared the war over. Unfortunately, al-Qaeda has not. Which gives new meaning to the term “asymmetric warfare.”

And produces linguistic — and logical — oddities that littered Obama’s public pronouncements following the Christmas Day attack. In his first statement, Obama referred to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab as “an isolated extremist.” This is the same president who, after the Fort Hood, Tex., shooting, warned us “against jumping to conclusions” — code for daring to associate the mass murder there with Nidal Hasan’s Islamist

  1. More Terrorist Attacks To Come

    I believe we will see more terrorist attacks in 2010. These attacks are precisely for the purpose of seizing more government control. Let us not forget there are over 35 Muslim training camps located across America. They are silently preparing to take actions when their orders are given!

    It is hard for me to believe that the billion + dollars poured into buying the American Presidency for the George Soro’s, Khalid ?, the New World Order people and the rest of the foreign money was done so –for at best a two term president. They are far more sinister than that. They want to create blood on American soil to give the evil one (whom they control) the powers to declare martial law and put an end to elections once and for all. Elections–even those they rig–are simply too cumbersome and time consuming to this group of pirates, thieves, and control freaks.

    The average American citizen does not realize that our government has been stolen via usurpation. Since they got control of the WH, they have been using every department, of our great defense systems to secure their own power. They have simultaneously been diminishing our military power, giving away military secrets, controlling lame stream media to suppress vital facts while presenting lies, distortions, and convolutions of their real actions and motives.

    This year we must be prepared to take more action and be louder than ever in our efforts to take back and restore America. This is war–non violent but war. Before it is over it may turn violent. That is why we need to become very active in spreading the word to as many uninformed Americans as possible. We must reject politically correct babble. We must be willing to correctly identify and name in clear precise language the problems for what they are. (ie: Fort Hood was a result of a terrorist attack. Not a “post traumatic symptom individual). We must start under ground publishing of the facts the media refuses to print and spread any and every where we can. We must become intimate with the Constitution. We must be determined to remove this travesty in the WH this 2010!

    Failure is not an option. Yes we can!
