Let's ask our President Barack Obama. Tell me, why did they attack us on Christmas Day? Not just here, but
in Denmark, not with a bomb but an axe, not on a plane but at someone's home, a grandfather and his grandchild. (A related note to correct the Times account
here.)
Was it a
random network of violent individuals? Was it a
random day?
Tell us. Why?
Can we expect the truth from an administration that
time after time dissembles and leaks in cowardly fashion?
Have we ever had such a wimpy little shit of a president?

U.S. Intelligence Community: Al Qaeda Cleric May Be TerroristMore. And then we have the former Gitmo detainee,
founder of a "human rights" organization. Friends with the underpants bomber. And how about this tidbit:
In early 2007, Abdulmutallab was the president of the Islamic Society at the University College of London (UCL). The press has uncovered a number of disturbing aspects of Abdulmutallab's tenure as the head of the society. First and foremost, his organization hosted a "War on Terror Week" that was really a "Blame America" fest. The New York Times has aptly described the Islamic Society's "guest speakers" at this and other events as "radical imams, former Guantanamo Bay prisoners and a cast of mostly left-wing, anti-American British politicians and human rights advocates." From January 29, to February 2, 2007, the Islamic Society hosted "a series of lectures" as part of its "War on Terror Week." One of the lectures, according to the Times (UK), was entitled "Jihad v. Terrorism" and billed as "a lecture on the Islamic position with respect to jihad."
The lecture was given by Asim Qureshi, who is a "senior researcher" at Begg's organization, Cage Prisoners. Qureshi's own words make his real purpose plain to see as he is, at times, an overt jihadist. During one particularly troublesome episode, Qureshi was captured in an online video ranting at a rally hosted by Hizb ut Tahrir, an organization that the BBC has found "promotes racism and anti-Semitic hatred, calls suicide bombers martyrs and urges Muslims to kill Jewish people." Indeed, the video shows Qureshi praising his "brothers and sisters fighting in Chechnya, Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir, [and] Afghanistan." Qureshi tells the crowd: "We know that it is incumbent upon all of us to support the jihad of our brothers and sisters in these countries when they are facing the oppression of the West." Qureshi and the crowd then break into a chant of "Allah Akhbar."
Does Hizb-ut-Tahrir ring a bell? It should. And women should really love this--anything to say Barack?
P.S. Speaking of Islamic Societies, did you know the Islamic Society of North America is headquartered in Chicago? And did you know one of the speakers, not so long ago was an unrepentant domestic terrorist, and FOBarack Obama? No, it wasn't Bill Ayers. But it was his wife. Bernardine Dohrn. Also children of privilege. You might say it was a profile.

Our enemies have done what we refuse to do. They've analyzed the problem objectively and engineered ruthless solutions.
And we won't even block their Internet sites.
We make up fairy tales about the power of development projects to deter religious fanatics. We impose rules of engagement on our troops that protect our enemies. We ground our air power. We grant terrorists "legal" rights with no basis in existing law.
A wimpy little shit of a president:
The future murderers will generally not be from refugee camps or slums (though they are being indoctrinated every day in our prisons); they will frequently be from educated backgrounds, and they will often not be from overseas at all. They are already in our suburbs and even in our military. We can expect to take casualties. The battle will go on for the rest of our lives.
And
we tie our own hands and won't even interrogate this guy. More depressing reading:
Who Is The Enemy?
More than one-third of all terrorist plots since 9/11 transpired
in 2009 — despite loud chest-thumping about rejecting the idea
of a war on terror.

At about the same time last August that Obama and Holder were playing whack-a-CIA-agent, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab traveled to Yemen to learn how to sew explosives into his underwear.
And speaking of Captain Underpants, the accused Christmas Day bomber has reportedly warned that there are more terrorists like him in Yemen.
We know there are at least six.
Just days before Abdulmutallab tried to blast Northwest Flight 253 out of the the sky over Detroit, Obama released an additional half-dozen Gitmo detainees to Yemen.
And
he wants to bring those who are left to
Thomson, Illinois. (Another
hearing Wed. in Chicago but the decision is up to Gov. Quinn, who didn't show up at the initial one. Another wimpy little shit.)
