Obama won't connect terror dots
THE WASHINGTON TIMES ^ | February 1, 2010 | THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Posted on 01/31/2010 9:06:23 AM PST by opentalk

When a man is apprehended with a cache of weapons, body armor, a map of a military installation and jihadist personal effects, the natural response of most Americans is to assume the situation is terrorist-related. The Obama administration says otherwise.

Lloyd R. Woodson was arrested Jan. 25 in rural New Jersey. He had been observed behaving strangely, wearing military-style fatigues and a bulletproof vest. He had a weapon modified to fire .50-caliber rounds from beneath his jacket. He had a hotel room full of weapons and ammunition. Despite all these warning signs, the immediate response from the government was that this was "not a terrorism thing."

Bureaucratic lack of concern raises a critical question: If this is not the behavior of a terrorist, what is?

It's not clear what the Obama administration thinks terrorism is, if it thinks it exists at all. The administration doggedly maintains that political, especially jihadist, violence by individuals with no international linkage is not terrorism. This definition might come as a surprise to the Unabomber, who for years was the most sought-after terrorist in America.

You can’t connect the dots when you’re part of the puzzle.

I don't think we're supposed to call them "terrorists". Didn't oBama tell us to call them "misguided meanies", or something idiotic like that? I forget.

The only dots that oBama can connect are the sprinkles in his ice cream cone.

Exactly! Obama is doing all he can to protect his Muslim brothers/terrorists. This is what Obama’s decisions demonstrate. My question is: What are the Democrats gaining from Obama’s treason?

Interesting observations on the Taliban by that great American philosopher, Jeff Foxworthy.

“YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF...”

1. You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to liquor.

2. You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you can’t afford shoes.

3. You have more wives than teeth.

4. You wipe your butt with your bare hand, but consider bacon “unclean.”

5. You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

6. You can’t think of anyone you haven’t declared Jihad against.

7. You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing.

8. You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than setting off roadside bombs.

9. You have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four.

10. You’ve always had a crush on your neighbor’s goat.

11. Your cousin is president of the United States

I really don’t think the administration understands yet how badly things are going to go for them if there is another terrorist attack on their watch. The do not understand the problem, and what’s more they seem to insist on remaining deliberately ignorant of it. This is unacceptable in the extreme, and they do not get any more strikes on this.

Check out Sonja’s take on The Usurper and terrorism. This is what an articulate (abeit scripted) leader is supposed to sound like:

One would not want to connect the dots for action on his allies.

IMHO

They got lucky on Christmas Day, but fumbled the opportunity to interrogate the perp by treating him like a 12-y-o shoplifter. Another attack involving mass killing will be predictably met with a LOT of talk, all of it unsatisfying, and serious fantasizing about Islam.

Americans do not take kindly to other Americans being murdered by the hundreds, and the predictably limp response by the current administration will lead to a level of anger and disgust that makes present levels of anger and disgust directed their way seem mild. Continued attempts by the administration to "calm" the "emotional" among us will only worsen things.

I predict lots more vacation time in Hawaii for Obama to get away from rising disgust and frustration from the American people.

... and his brothers.... of his “Christian” faith.

Taqiyya and nefarious plans.... nothing but.

All designed for the dhimininishing and marginalization culminating in the collapse of the US of A.

IMO

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I must assume that you mean another attack that kills thousands as there most certainly have been terrorist attacks on Obama’s watch already. That is why they are so insistent on pretending that terrorism is not really terrorism, they DO know that it is not going to help the Democrats any if we have another like 9-11 or worse.

Even if he wanted to connect them, he doesn't do what it takes to find them! Hell even when it is in his face he ignores it, connecting dots is above his pay grade apparently.

Connecting the dots on terrorism is NOT part of Obama's contract with the Saudi's; nor any of the others he is committed to appeasing in the Islamic world.

OTOH. . .what better crisis to take full advantage of; preferably, closer to 2012; but whatever; 'close enough' will do. Imagine, dealing with such an event, the 'Obama Way'.

We can assume nothing of Reason while Obama in 'power'; including what seems almost a coded invite to terrorists; and whether a terrorist should 'rsvp' - or not - think it a luxury of thought to assume an Election, 2012. .

And just as they consistently, do not name the 'terror'; so too, they constantly remind us with every defensive breath; that this is the way BUSH did it!

Oh, say can we see? Surely, we can.

His actions speak volumes. The Fort Hood incident seems like it was just swept under a rug. With the number of deaths and injuries there should be an outrage into why.

Saudi's buying more of Fox is a move to squash any spotlight on Islam and terrorism.
