The USA is now on its course to becoming a "banana republic," with the actions of the Obama Administration's towards the Christmas Day attempted bombing of Delta Flight 253 as it approached Detroit's International Airport.
First, it took the President's Office 3 hours to inform Obama of the thwarted bombing incident while the same people woke him up to inform him of his "well-deserved" Nobel Peace prize. Go figure the thinking of these politicos on that call. Even after that he went out to play 3 rounds of golf and saw the new movie, "Avatar," before making a comment on the incident.
Second, Obama only after 72 hours indicated to the world of terrorism that the USA would not be coming your way if you attempt to harass or attack the "great Satan." Obama with his speech after the 3 day hiatus indicated the USA would only try "to find them responsible," referring to the suspect as an "isolated terrorist," before knowing the facts that the would-be bomber was in fact Al Quaeda-trained. Obama is effectively returning the USA to the very effective (sarcasm ahead) Clinton days of terrorism as a crime worthy of complete Constitutional protection. Trust me on this one, readers, this will come back to bite US citizens over the remaining 3 years of Obama's holding of the US Presidency.
Third, please explain to me the difference between giving the "underwear bomber" complete US Constitutional rights while carrying out 4 predator-based attacks in the hills of Pakistan over the Christmas holidays? Can he believe that we are that deft of intelligence? Where are the rights for those killed in the Predator attacks, where is the outcry of the liberals on their killing fields? This President is not only now an on-screen liar (by his own words,) but a hypocrite in the first degree! Read my next post for the implications of these assertions.
Having been in both Iraq and Afghanistan, this blogger can tell you directly that we are being perceived as "weak and soulless," under this current administration's less than stellar actions and attitudes towards those that want to murder, destroy, and injure that peoples and property of the USA. We will pay the price for Obama's naiveté as we will be subjected to more and more attacks by Islamic radicals that want to destroy the "great Satan," and achieve their martyr's status.
Until we have the national will to do the necessary steps of pre-emptive response, proactive identification (read that profiling,) and military-directed action, we will pay the price with our lives, fortunes, and loved ones. The great battle with religious-radicalized zealots will be won by those that are the most committed, and for the present, this administration is giving that position to the terrorists.
I just hope that Obama will not suffer the nightmares of capitulation embodied by the faces and numbers of those whose death's he will now be directly responsible. While he may be untouchable, his decisions are going to visit the pain and suffering of personal loss and tragedy on true innocents -- the real paradox.
