Has anyone noticed President Obama has been in a bit of a funk since last Tuesday? Since the THUMPING his candidates took and the stinging REJECTION of his policies in the elections last week Mr. Obama has been in an absolute SNIT. His speeches are lacking their former luster – or maybe someone forgot to turn on the reverb – and he has been looking like a man searching for a direction.
In his delirium – pretending like that’s what it was – he’s made a SERIOUS mistake that could cost American civilian lives. This is one of those blunders that is on the magnitude of Mogadishu when President Clinton pulled out American troops after the “Blackhawk Down” incident and bin Laden decided the United States was a “paper tiger” with no stomach for war, which led directly to 9/11.
The Obama Administration announced they are going to bring five terrorists to NYC for a civilian trial. This has the earmarks of disaster all over it. The Obama Administration is playing to the wrong crowd. They are trying to regain momentum and they are about to irreparably hurt the American people. This foreign policy blunder is monumental. As bad as his ‘apology tours’ have been – with his most recent embarrassments in the Far East – trying terrorists on international TV is going to make them into superstars in the Arab world ginning up support AGAINST the United States and emboldening our enemies. This is all about ‘political theater’ and has nothing to do with the security of this country.
The Obama Administration is trying to show their base how they can bring the Bush Administration to trial in an attempt to turn back the losses of last week’s elections. Attempting to show they are tough on terror by trying the five terrorists who have already plead guilty to their roles in the 9/11 attacks and requested to be put to death – or ‘martyred’ in their eyes – has NO elements of being tough on terror. It has elements of DESPERATION.
There was no reason to bring these men to NYC other than to have a ‘show trial’ for the cameras.
And THAT is where the problem will start.
The cameras that are to be allowed in the courtroom will broadcast intelligence-gathering secrets to the Arab world that will do nothing but heat up anger in that region. There is NO upside to these trials except in the narrow view of the Obama Administration that allows them to put on a show for their Hard Leftist base to try to save his healthcare plan.
As the Obama prosecutors try to show Americans how bad the CIA and Bush Administration were in their drive to keep the country safe from attacks, the American people are going to resent what Obama is doing to destroy the prior administration. No administration EVER has acted like they are some kind of banana republic attacking the previous administration and BLAMING ENDLESSLY the Bush Administration instead of going about the business of fulfilling their campaign promises – until this administration. Constant whining over their failures and trying to blame the previous administration is wearing thin on the American people. We’ve heard enough. And now throwing our national security to the wind to gain support among their base to push a healthcare agenda is unforgivable. This demonstrates their lack of understanding of the real world, but they will learn soon enough that these actions will have severe reactions from our enemies. This action and the threat it presents is CRIMINAL on the part of our leaders.
