The Consequences Of Obama: Terrorism Is Back :: Timidity and caution have become the order of the day in our intelligence community.
U S Army Veteran
He was wrong. But they have now, indeed, come home to roost as we witness
the results of the unilateral disarmament President Obama has practiced in
the war on terror. Beset once more by terrorism on our soil and in our
airspace, we find ourselves suddenly overmatched by those who the Bush
Administration kept away from our shores for seven years.
This new onset of terrorism is not the product of any change in the
international environment or some new "systemic" flaw in our intelligence
operations. It is due to the policy of President Obama in letting down our
guard and inhibiting those charged with our protection
Under Obama, the hunters have become the hunted as America inverted her
priorities. Those who have been working to keep us safe have, themselves,
come under scrutiny for profiling, harsh interrogation techniques, and a
failure to give terrorists constitutional rights they don't have.
The result is predictable: Timidity and caution have become the order of
the day in our intelligence community. In a world where hunch, guesswork,
and a willingness to leap to conclusions by imagining the worst are vital to
success, a cover your butt mentality has taken over. If you come to the
wrong conclusion, if you profile without adequate justification, if you
accuse incorrectly, you are finished. Your career and your pension will be
gone. Guess right and you are accorded anonymity. Guess wrong and you're
through.
The failure of the intelligence operatives to pass along the information
about the Ft. Hood shooter or the airline bomber did not flow from a blind
spot or a lack of co-ordination, they stemmed from terrorism of a different
sort -- the terror of making a mistake and falling on the harsh mercies of
Eric Holder.
Now Nigerian terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutall sits, lawyered up, in a
federal prison. His interrogation will proceed, if at all, under the
watchful eye of his counsel. He will not finger other operatives nor warn
us of other impending attacks. He will receive the full panoply of
constitutional rights, none of which he is entitled to.
Barack Obama does not seem to understand that these terrorists come here to
use our laws and our system, not to protect us, not even to shelter
themselves, but to destroy us.
Abdulmutall should be interrogated by the military, without benefit of
counsel. The evidence we obtain should not be admissible in a court of law
nor used as the basis for his sentencing. But it must be used to ward off
future threats and attacks.
But Obama is a true believer. His persistence in downgrading the war on
terror to a criminal investigation will continue. And we will experience
more and more attacks. Because pessimism is the bodyguard of liberalism, he
will explain to us that the world has become more threatening and that he is
doing all he can to keep us safe. But the truth will be that it will have
been his policies and priorities that are leaving us exposed.
And the attacks will continue.

And now we have had two successful terrorists acts on our soil, killing
a total of 14 people and wounding 32, and one unsuccessful attempt,
thanks to the citizens aboard the aircraft, that could have killed
hundreds. All this in just 11 months of the incompetent Hussein's watch.
Yes, we can all feel much safer with the likes of Hussein, Holder and
Napolitano standing watch. And it just makes one feel good all over to
know that any "extremists" caught will get their full Miranda rights and
a good court appointed lawyer.
Barack Hussein Obama...mmm mmm mmm
Send HIM to Pakistan to fight Osama...mmm mmm mmm
Simple-minded lying dummycrats (the party that birthed the KKK) and
liberals...morons electing morons.

Fixed the title for you, Queefer. Instead of going after al Qaeda, Bush
went after oil in Iraq. We will be paying for Bush's eight years of
treason for many years to come.
