BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON

_________________________________________________________

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

Another obvious bit of bias is the claim that Obama "won" the cheers of troops. Did he? In what manner?

I heard a Faux News-Obama audio bite on the radio of The One (piss be upon him) speaking to the troops.

The troops responded at every full stop with a "Hooah". It was mostly female voices.

I am assuming it was the usual picked crowd of black females that The One (his name be pissed) uses for his troop speeches.

... eh, actually, the Times said that the troops were happy to see Commander in Chief #43, too. In the article about Bush’s Thanksgiving 2003 trip, they mention that the troops were “whooping” for Bush, and on his next trip over there four years later, the Times said that “After a minute’s ovation when [President Bush] entered, the audience repeatedly interrupted the president with wild cheering and whoops, and crowded around him for 10 minutes afterward as he strode in among them and chatted about their families and their war experiences.”

Did Obama “earn” the cheers of the troops? Eh, maybe, maybe not — they were sure glad to hear him say that they were nearly done with their mission. Good news straight from the President is certain to be warmly received. But in any case, the Times doesn’t seem to have qualms mentioning when the troops are glad to see the President, regardless of who it is at the time.
