THERE IS, it seems evident, more than enough blame to go around in the
botched handling of the botched Christmas bombing. Not for some
Republicans. With former vice president Richard B. Cheney in the lead,
they have embarked on an ugly course to use the incident to inflict
maximum political damage on President Obama. That's bad enough, but their
scurrilous line of attack is even worse. The claim that the incident shows
the president's fecklessness in the war on terror is unfounded -- no
matter how often it is repeated.
These critics have set up a straw Obama, a weak and naive leader who
allegedly takes terrorism lightly, thinks that playing nicely with
terrorists will make them stop, and fails to understand the threat that
the United States faces from violent extremists. Mr. Cheney said that the
incident had made "clear once again that President Obama is trying to
pretend we are not at war."

There are two ways to show how baseless these attacks are: examining Mr.
Obama's words and examining his actions.
Words first. "Evil does exist in the world," Mr. Obama said in accepting
the Nobel Peace Prize. "Negotiations cannot convince al-Qaeda's leaders to
lay down their arms." In his weekly radio speech Saturday, he disposed of
the war-vs.-law-enforcement canard, pointing out that in his inaugural
address he made it clear that "0ur nation is at war against a far-reaching
network of violence and hatred and that we will do whatever it takes to
defeat them and defend our country, even as we uphold the values that have
always distinguished America among nations." "
