Merry Christmas from Al Qaida

Northwest Airlines flight 253 delivered a gift of terror to the U.S.A. on Christmas Day. As it was approaching its destination a terrorist on board attempted to explode the bomb that was hidden in his underwear. The fact that the bomb fizzled and no one was injured was indeed a Christmas miracle. The 300 passengers that were on board that day, no doubt are thanking the Good Lord for his favor and the quick action of those who subdued and detained the bomber.

Of course, our President ordered an investigation into how the State Department allowed the would-be bomber a visa and then, in typical Obama-style, blamed the prior administration because they set up the system. When will our President start taking the blame for his own administration's failings? The President sets the tone and, in this case, has clearly signaled to his team that there is no war on terror. He has succeeded in punishing the intelligence agencies for their work under the prior administration and has sent them the signal that it is more important to be politically correct than to protect their country. His reaction to the Fort Hood incident shows his complete denial of a war against Muslim extremists and perhaps even his sympathies to their cause as he is now allowing Sheik Khalid Mohammad a trial in the New York Federal Court.

The lessons of Vietnam have not been learned by this administration. War is not something that can be pursued half-heartedly. Unfortunately, President Obama is more interested in passing a healthcare bill that most of America deplores than protecting us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic. The President has plenty of excuses, including high unemployment and recession, which do not justify his failure to pursue the enemy with all his available power rather than treat the problem as if it were a law enforcement activity. The same can be said for the war in Afghanistan. The President is lukewarm on protecting the American people and should be spewed from office. His loyalties are obviously conflicted in this matter and that is impairing his judgment.

We continue to find more and more of the detainees released from Guantanamo Bay back on the battlefield, the latest graduating from a rehabilitation program in Yemen. Is there any sense of reason left in this administration? Does anyone in the administration even remember the magnitude of the attacks of 9-11-2001? Keep praying America, because God is our protector, whereas clearly our government is not.
