The surfing Socialist finally came out of hibernation and chatted a bit about the attempted attack upon the Christmas day flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. He didn’t have too much of substance to say as he had to race off for yet another totalitarian tee time. Being as vague as he always is, Obama said very little but he managed to blame nary a liberal for all of this but then later, he reflexively found someone to blame.

Obama said that “information about the terror suspect was not properly shared among intelligence agencies.” Since Obama is too much of a coward to lay the blame for this, I will do so for him. The fault lies with one Jamie Gorlick, former Clinton hack who orchestrated her position on, of all things, the 9-11 commission. This was important because she had to cover up her responsibility (along with Bill and Hill’s) for building the “wall” surrounding the dissemination of information that should have been made available to federal agencies that literally made 9-11 easier for the terrorists. (Sandy Burglar did a little document barbecue on the Clintonistas behalf as well.)

The fact that Mr. Abdulmutallab is resting comfortably in Federal custody and planning his defense with his lawyer instead of being interrogated at Guantanamo by military intelligence is just one reason why Obama’s approach to the war on terror is likely to cost thousands of Americans their lives. Abdulmutallab is a terrorist not an ordinary criminal. If he had been successful he would have killed over 250 people at a stroke. If he is found guilty in a civil court he faces a maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment. Considering the enormity of the intended catastrophe, accidentally averted, a 20 year prison sentence and scorched genitals hardly seems punishment enough.

Now that he has been read Miranda rights and has legal counsel at his disposal his use as an intelligence asset is severly compromised. Obama’s main concern is not our safety, the swift and effective gathering of intelligence, or the firm treatment of terrorist prisoners but the desire not to appear to be doing anything useful that would resemble the Bush Administration and so alienate his left-wing base. For this meagre and cynical political consideration the rest of us are put in lethal jeopardy. This is nothing new in the world of Obama. Under his regime both our Justice Department and our intelligence services have become politicised. Thus does clarity become obscured. Without clarity there can be no understanding and without understanding no objective or rational decisions can be made. We are not being well served.

When a self-proclaimed moderate comes a courtin’ votes, do you get a Churchill or a Chamberlain?

Now that we are trying terrorists and enemy combatants in regular courts, here’s a thought.  What if you get the dreaded jury duty notice in the mail?

Janet “Pat” Napolitano our intrepid Homeland Security Secretary, went out on her own little “get their minds off of Obama’s health scam” tour last weekend. Napolitano did what all liberals do instinctively; she used a vast number of words to say as little as possible. Her discourse ran the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous.

In “Napolitano Says Al-Qaeda-Style Terrorists Are in U.S. (Bloomberg.com) we read that during an interview with Bloomberg television, Napolitano said, “There are individuals in the Unites States who ascribe to al-Qaeda-type beliefs.” What a sagacious soothsayer Napolitano is. If you just counted the liberals alone with their politics of “target America first,” there are easily multiple millions here that fall into that category, and that’s before you get around to tabulating the militant  Muslims.

Have no fear, Napolitano says that “law-enforcement authorities are tracking terrorists with al-Qaeda leanings in the U.S.” Killing them is much more palatable than “tracking” them. Fattening them up at Guantanamo and then releasing them back into the wild just delays the inevitable. Playing progressive patty-cake with them accomplishes nothing. When it comes to the liberals and their declared “War on The War on Terror,” accomplishing nothing is what they are all about.

The “lets-stick-our-weenie-in-every-campfire” liberals have now decided to overhaul, or to phrase it more appropriately for the leftists: “takeover,” the Army Field Manual’s interrogation guidelines. In short, the liberals think that the terrorists will “talk” if they lay like spoons with them after a cup of warm cocoa and a viewing of “Fried Green Tomatoes” with the appropriate lighting for the mood. This Swiss watch of an idea will certainly make America safer.

When the “allegations” start flying, the liberals love to spring into action. Desperate at this point to take ANY attention away from their intentional destruction of the economy and their “hope” of destroying health care, Obama is siccing Attorney general Eric Holder over the “alleged prisoner abuse under the Bush administration.” (”Obama Administration Urged to Consider Expanded Interrogation Methods” Fox News) I would prefer that Holder concentrate on the palpable abuse of the American capitalist system and the formerly free market by his boss and his minions.

Thank God! Oops, I mean, thank Obama. The economic crisis is almost over, the ‘war on terror’ is a thing of the past and, by his own words, Obama and his administration have saved America from catastrophe.

President Obama used the occasion of a 1/10 of 1% drop in the nation’s unemployment rate to claim both success and validation for his economic policies. He has valiantly brought America back from the brink of the economic chaos that was caused by his predecessor. But as is often the case with Obama, the devil is in the details.
