Obama’s Inexcusable Failure To Protect America From Terrorist Attack

December 26, 2009

Eight years after Islamic terrorists flew four jetliners into The World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, killing 3,000 innocent people, President Barack Hussein Obama allowed another one of them, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallabto, to board a U.S.-bound plane with high explosives strapped to his leg.

The Nigerian son of privilege trained with Al Qaeda in Yemen, took a plane there for Amsterdam, and connected with a flight to Detroit on Christmas Day. As the plane approached the airport for landing, he spent twenty minutes in the restroom preparing the bomb, went back to his seat, covered himself with a blanket and lit the fuse.

If not for his bumbling incompetence, the failure of the detonator, and the heroism of Dutchman Jasper Schuringa, who subdued Abdul mutallabto, Northwest Airlines flight 253 and its passengers would have been blown out of the sky.

It was not an unforeseeable or random act, and it was not coincidental that Islamists perpetrated it on Christmas.

According to multiple news outlets (you can read the news on our home page by clicking here), Abdulmutallabto has been known to U.S. and British Intelligence as a person with terrorist ties. The U.K. banned his entry into that country six months ago, yet he was issued a multi-entry U.S. visa which allowed him to come and go as he pleased.

His father, a wealthy Nigerian banker, claims to have warned U.S. officials of his son’s “fanatical religious views” six months ago.

Along with the Islamic terrorist attack on Ft. Hood on November 5, 2009, and Obama’s insistence on releasing dangerous terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, this case demonstrates the President’s indifference to the security of the American people.

The Ft. Hood shooter was a Major in the U.S. Army, known by his superiors to have expressed vehemently anti-American sentiments. He is a Muslim, and political correctness combined with Obama’s pro-Islam world view dictated that he not be questioned or removed from duty.

There are more than eighty Islamic terrorists scheduled for release from Gitmo and repatriation to Yemen. Yemen, the country that allowed Islamic thugs to blow up the U.S.S. Cole and then sheltered them from the F.B.I. The country with a history of allowing the escape of dangerous international terrorists.

Obama today sent Attorney General Eric Holder to pledge a vigorous investigation of the “alleged attack” on the airliner.

The terrorists are not intimidated, Mr. President, when you send a lawyer to do the work of the U.S. Marines.

Obama has a pre-9/11 approach to the defense of America. Rather than an aggressive, worldwide, military pursuit of terrorists and the regimes that support them, he relies on defensive law enforcement measures and meaningless diplomacy.

While Obama primps and preens for the international press, our friends in Europe, and his friends on the lunatic left, Islamic fascists are on the march. They will not relent in their pursuit of America’s destruction, and their biggest ally in that goal is the President of The United States.

There will be more attacks, and, sadly, one of them will succeed. When it does, the fault will rest squarely with Barack Hussein Obama.
