President Obama pledges to scour world for terror cells
Times Online ^ | December 29, 2009 | Nico Hines

President Obama vowed to track down and destroy terror cells all over the world last night as he finally ended his silence over a failed Christmas Day plot to blow up an American passenger jet.

The White House said Mr Obama’s reticence to speak out was designed to reduce the attention focused on an extremist group based in Yemen calling itself al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

The Islamist organisation led by a former personal secretary to Osama bin Laden claimed responsibility for the botched attack in a statement yesterday.

The President took a few minutes out of his holiday in Hawaii to pledge that he would work to keep America safe from attack with further foreign interventions where necessary.

We can trust our Dear Leader, Baraq Sheik Obama, to make our golf courses safe for the idle rich.

The TEA parties are probably the terror cells Zero the Magnificent is referring to. ;o(

"President Obama pledges to scour world for terror cells"

"Even if he has to fly all over the world wasting our money."

Yeah. Right. Just as soon as he can pull his schwanze out of Larry Sinclaire's rumplekins.

We actually have a gay, black, commie, liberal, criminal Narcissist sociopath for a president. Is there a lower form of human life on the planet? I think not.

But in the end, those same terrorists will attack the rich, globalist elite at their golf courses in the middle of their games.

In related news, O.J. Simpson is still looking for Nicole Brown-Simpson’s killer.

>>”The only thing he proved was that the “real” killer wasn’t a golfer. Looks like Obama will be busy searching the same venues for these terror cells.”

Maybe they think “real killers” and Undie-bombers are hiding in those little holes with the flags stuck in them. Little bitty real killers and terrs.

Well, OJ is now in a place where he can find a lot of real killers. Maybe BHO will join him there someday, if justice is served and the Republic still stands.

I feel so much safer now, that the commander in chief has assured us that he will rout out all those jihadi cells in the world. I take it that means even in the United States.

Obama: ‘We will not rest’ until air terror plotters caught

On Monday, he did not address the public until after a workout and a tennis game with his wife - and went golfing immediately afterward.

After it was determined that the injury was minor, the president returned to the golf course, where he golfed until sundown and did not get a full 18 holes in. The golfing party consisted of several groups and included, among others, Marty Nesbitt, Reggie Love and Ben Finkenbinder.

“It’s absolutely critical that we learn from this incident.”

So what have you learned Mr Obama? And what has Secretary Napolitano learned? And care to impart that to us?

They are now reporting the TWO behind this were recently released from GITMO. WTG OBAMBO !

Unbelievable! That should be front page news in every paper and the lead story on every newscast. Our very own President, releasing murderers so they can commit more mass murder against us.

I am honestly not sure if I hold 0bama accountable to their release.

It is something I've turned over in my heart several times and the answer I arrive at is a very hard cold reality. These terrorists, enemy combatants, soldiers in Allah's army are not like others in places that have standing military.

The psychology and mindset of these ...men/women are not easily changed. In fact I doubt they can be changed at all after having been radicalized. The radicalized individual is guilty of crimes against humanity, much like the NAZI's of Germany and yet they are worse than the NAZI's in their radicalism. Being held at Gitmo, provided 3 meals a day, permitted to pray and read the Koran...they comfortably stay within their radicalism. In allowing these things they are not able to return to society.

It is my humble opinion that our Rules of Engagement have given us this problem. Our own PC rhetoric leaves us unable to deal with the harsh, cold, reality that unless we take efforts to deprogram Gitmo detainees we will hold them in jails, prisons, etc. forever and risk their release. A different set of ROE would have given us a different result. GITMO should have never existed.

These combatants will not return to a peaceful society, sadly they will never understand it is "Allah" that has destroyed their lives, homes, family.

This latest attempted terrorist attack could be a casus belli for imposition of martial law in the United States.

A Nigerian smuggles a bomb on-board in Amsterdam, and that's a justification for martial law in The States?
