The prez who cried 'lone wolf'
NY Post ^ | May 9, 2010 | Michael Goodwin

ONE of the most troubling tics of Team Obama is the frantic rush to de clare that every terror attack on American soil is carried out by an isolated individual with no connection to al Qaeda or other groups. It was the gist of their rapid response to the failed airline bombing on Christmas Day, to the Fort Hood shooter and, most recently, to the plot by Faisal Shahzad to set off a car bomb in Times Square.

On the surface, the aim is obvious: to minimize the fear that radical Islamic organizations have penetrated homeland defenses. The working assumption is that Americans will be less frightened of isolated individuals who appear not to be capable of large-scale mayhem of the kind that rocked the nation on 9/11.

It's a reasonable theory, but it has a problem. The claims have been dead wrong in all three cases.

Each "lone wolf" was quickly shown to have had contacts with or received training from a terror group abroad.

i remember all of the lies oozing out of the FBI and Army officials regarding Hasan’s “lone wolf” status.

The worthless bastards were telling their lies before the investigation had even been started at the scene.

“not a terrorist act, not a terrorist act!”

Bunch of damn liars.

“Army Major (Hasan) Played Role in Presidential Transition
(and) served on the Homeland Security Policy Institute’s presidential transition task force”

"Obama Obama shifts FBI from Counter Terrorism to Fraud"


"Victims of Cole bombing upset
"A top officer slammed Obama's decision to seek the withdrawal of charges against the 2000 suspected U.S.S. Cole ship bomber."


"Impeach Obama Says Sister of Cole Sailor Killed in Terror Attacks
"The sister of Seaman James McDaniels, a sailor killed in the terror attack on the U.S.S. Cole wants President Barack Hussein Obama impeached
over his decision to withdraw charges against the al Qaeda mastermind of the attack."


"Mother of USS Cole Sailor Declines Obama-meet, Says "I Voted for the Wrong Person"
"After Obama dropped the charges against the suspect in the bombing of the USS Cole,
he asked the families of the victims in that tragedy to meet with him.
One mother refused, and now says,"I voted for the wrong person."

This article is EXCELLENT! It calls Obama out on why he is doing what he is doing and he isn’t saying it, but it’s obvious it’s all about Obama and his appearance. He has to APPEAR to look like his policies are working, when they aren’t.

While this isn’t the gist of the article, the article gives examples of why Obama’s narcissism will destroy American lies. In his self important little world, how he appears is more important than saving our lives.

We are a people, a nation, under attack...led by a general (the president) who refuses to accept that we are under attack.

That looks like a recipe for defeat.

Of course, it is also possible that our general (the president) does not have our nation's best interests at heart. It is possible that his loyalties lie elsewhere.

What does he do? Whose side does he take?

Does he now act on his promise, as laid out in Audacity of Hope, "to stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction?" Or does he stand with the his adopted nation...the nation whose ways he hates.

BTW, I doubt he ever imagine that it would be his beloved Muslims themselves who not only forced the winds to shift but injected the element of "ugliness" to that shift.

IF I remember the story correctly, the little boy gets eaten by the wolf in the end, does he not?

And what better way to support the destruction of America. BO&MO are racist, anti-american to the core. The kenyan marxist is here to destroy, not build America.

Let's profile. EVERY mooslim is a potential terrorist. Are there any in your neighborhood. If you love your self and your family I bet you profile. You just don't tell anyone. If you don't profile, you are a fool. If you have mooslim “friends” just to get some data directly ask them about 9-11 and about continuing mooslim acts of barbarism. Their response may tell you something about their “allegiances”.

The anti profiling agenda was originated to provide black criminals with a defense. Profiling is a last gasp defense attorney lawyerly trick.

When profiling, determine if the person is a lawyer and then heap on a portion of guilt. The lawyer is destroying America.

If there were actually good lawyers, we would allow profiling.

How sickening that General Petraeus jumped on O’s bandwagon and agreed that it was a lone wolf.

Perhaps BETRAYUS is the proper name after all.

Obama, like Clinton, can't afford (politically) to have foreign-related terrorists making attacks on American soil.

That will not bode well for reelection.

Where possible, any attack will:

(1) be awarded to a white, right-wing, ultra-conservative, fringe person or group,

(2) Rush and/or Hannity and/or Levin and/or all the other right-wing, conservative radio talkshow hosts, or

(3) the lone gunman [even if they have to suppress area surveillance video tapes, ala Murrah Building].

Obama is a Muslim-sympathizer again and again. When are the leading Democrats going to put a stop to the Muslim destruction of our country? The Democrat party is responsible for Obama. The Republicans manuevered Nixon out when he became a national liability. It’s way past time for the Democrats to manuever Obama out.

More likely, it's a continuation of the PC, "Islam means peace" myth, and that the jihadis are a teeny, tiny segment of Muslims so small it's impossible to even find them. The politically correct refuse to recognize Islam for what it is, and they refuse to recognize the beliefs held by a significant number of Muslims, including those who have immigrated to the West.
