Obama Ignores Terror Threat at His Own Peril
Fox ^ | Nov 9, 2009 | James Pinkerton

Posted on 11/09/2009 11:01:03 AM PST by AtlasStalled

Communism is gone but Islamic radicalism and jihadism are with us. President Obama will have to find an effective way to deal with this new threat or the American people will find someone else who can. In the wake of “11/5,” the attack at Fort Hood, Barack Obama faces a tough choice--like it or not. The 44th president must choose to confront an unpleasant reality, head on--or else it will run him over. The issue is the threat of terrorist violence, here on the homefront. Terrorism, and the debate over how to respond to terrorism, was the defining issue of the 43rd presidency. And now it’s apparent that Obama, too, will spend the bulk of his presidency confronting terror, from Afghanistan to new battlezones, such as central Texas. Obama and fellow Democrats would rather, of course, talk about health care. But over the next few years, the Fort Hood shooting is going to be a bigger story, since it is connected to our relations, good and bad, with the entire Islamic world, including nuclear Pakistan and almost- nuclear Iran. For his sake, and for ours, Obama needs to understand that sometimes even presidents don’t get to decide the agenda -- the agenda is decided for him. In such a situation, the question is whether or not the president can adapt to the new era and its new challenges.

It's was Clinton's willful ignorance of terror that led up to 9/11...

Barry Zero is no different...

No, he ignores the terror threat at OUR peril.

He and HIS family receive top-notch personal protection from terrorists through the Secret Service.

Communism is not gone. It is resident in the White House.

Actually, Jim, Communism is not gone. The Soviet Union is gone but Communism is alive and well in our own government.

Problem is - He can't confront this muslim threat. Too close too home.
 
And he can't support the military as W. did this weekend by traveling to Fort Hood.
 
Obama has nothing to lose by stating we must not "jump to conclusions" and " we may never know" the reason Hasan did this. 
 
America voted for Hope and Change. Well, here we are. How's that working out for ya?

This President will have to decide whether he backs Islam or the United States. Simple as that. If he doesn’t come out against Islam, he’s through. Islam is not our way of life. We are a Judeo/Christian Nation and it’s going to stay that way, regardless of what he wants. I doubt very much if he will come out on the side of the United States. Islam needs to stay in the Middle East, not on our shores.

Not the least of which is that if the Mujihad could pull this off at Fort Hood, they could easily assasinate Obama.

Hasan was only a few steps away from Obama. He was part of the Homeland Security transition team.

You bet Obama ignores this terrorism at his peril. Its also at his personal peril.

There is very little difference between Communism and Islm. I have never believed that Communism is gone. Check out Adam Weishaupt for yourself.

.
The threat is aimed at the American people, but Obama has stated in the past that when the chips are down he will be on the side of the Muslim. Doesn’t that statement mean anything to the American people?

I’m not mentioning members of Congress because they have shown recently not to be on the side of the American people, either.

Someone is part of the Muslim Brotherhood sleeper cells in our govt and now military. MB is financed by the Saudis and has been the tool to build mosques and spread Islam throughout the West to take over.

Obama made his decision clearly known before he was even elected POTUS. Those who voted for Obama made their decision known vis a vis Islam as well.
