Obama puts politics above national security!
Time Magazine ran a story on December 23rd reporting a record record number of terrorism incidents occurring in the U.S. since Obama was inaugurated. That story ran two days before the Nigerian underwear bomber tried to take down a plane as it approached Detroit. So much for all that "hope and change," so much for all those apologies to the Muslim world and promises to close Gitmo which were supposed to make us safer. As I wrote a few days ago, Obama's weak approach to this problem actually invites terrorism.
But there's another dimension to this as well. Looking back on the first year of the Obama Administration it's striking how often Obama puts political considerations ahead of national security. From the first day of the Obama Administration, when he announced he would close the terrorist detention facility at Guantanamo Bay without any kind of plan on what to do with the terrorists he sent a signal that pleasing his radical left wing base took precedence over common sense policies that protect Americans.
Then of course there was the mini war Obama's Justice Dept. launched against the CIA with renewed investigations of the enhanced interrogation techniques which were key to foiling plots which could have killed thousands of Americans. The consequence of Obama trying to put the actions of George Bush and Dick Cheney on trial meant that many in the CIA were no longer confident they could do the job necessary to keep America safe and avoid the legal entanglements headed their way.
More recently, the decision to permit Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and some of the most senior Al Queda terrorists to be put on trial in New York leaves people specializing in national security scratching their heads. There is simply no good reason to do such a thing and a dozen very good reasons not to. Again, it was a political decision by the Obama Administration which overrode national security concerns.
Abdulmutallab No Right to Constitution's Protections
Then there was the underwear bomber. Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian who attempted to blow an airliner out of the sky over Detroit on Christmas day is now sitting comfortably in jail. Once his lawyers arrived, it's reported he stopped talking.
Our ability to get information which might prevent other plots was severely compromised by treating him as a criminal, rather than an enemy combatant which the law allows:

Every day during KSM’s trial. The Jury will run a gauntlet of Muslim Rage Boys who will call the jury’s names and addresses out so that the jurors know that Al Queda knows where they live. Thanks Eric.

Anyone got a link to the connection between the six CIA agents who were killed by Al Qaeda and a previously aborted attack on bin Laden.
Somethign about one of the agents was vulnerable because the gitmo detainees released knew of him or somesuch?
The Resident and his Marxist colleagues in Congress are aiding and abetting terrorists. That’s about as blunt as one can be about it.

Obama’s fault totally.
Add in the repatriation of the Gitmo Alumni headed for Yemen... these guys will be heros on arrival, released and serve as mentors, advisers, trainer and spiritual guides in the war against the Infidels.
To assume its about American policy is a huge lie..... its about their 1400 year war against the infidel. Its just that America is at the top of the stack.
Perfect Example!
