Only days before President Obama revealed that his worst fear was a nuclear terror attack on Manhattan, a nearly blind guard was caught sleeping on the job at the Freedom Tower — where he was the building’s first line of defense.
In a shocking cellphone photo obtained exclusively by The Post, Abdul Basher, 65, is wearing shades and lying almost completely flat in a chair in the No. 1 terror target’s south lobby, where he was the only guard stationed, sources said.

Come on this must be the Onion right? A guy named Abdul in charge of guarding the Freedom Towers and he is sleeping? The only thing worse is his last name would have been Hussein.

OK, I dislike the Communist in chief, but linking Obama to a sleeping guard at WTC is pushing it.

Abdul Basher...? We might be lucky he was sleeping and blind.
We have become completely stupid in our rush to show Muslims how much we love them.

Sleeping with one eye open is fine as long as you are not blind in the eye you have open...

Nobody can be that stupid, otherwise.

Abdul? This is more than ridiculous. It’s a criminal act by the Port Authority.

Stick a fork in the USA. We now choose, out of left-wing orthodoxy, members of enemy groups to guard our most treasured sites.

first of all, why is a 65yo standing guard, not that I’m age conscious, but let’s get real - who’s this guy gunna tackle? a toddler? Second of all, what the hell is wrong with this guy’s supervisor who assigns a guy about to go on disability, and, who has no effective vision, to this job in the first place? oh wait.

Union, half blind and possibly Muslim. Perfect for security. Maybe send him to the border?
