It started two days after Obama became the president. Obama directed the closing of the terrorist detention center in Guantanamo Bay, even though he has no clue what to do with the terrorists detained at Guantanamo.
At the two-week mark of the Obama presidency, the president was asked in a television interview why he didn't use the phrase "war on terror." Obama's Carter-like naive response was to say he believes the U.S. can win over moderate Muslims if he chooses his words carefully:
In meeting with families of September 11 terrorist attacks and the 17 sailors killed in the terrorist bombing of the USS Cole, Obama made it clear that he was more concerned about the prosecution of terrorists than prosecution of the war on terror:
"The previous administration was very focused on the prosecution of the war on terror and keeping America safe from future attacks. The current administration is very focused on the prosecution of the detainees of the war on terror. The important thing for America is to find the right balance of both those approaches."

“The previous administration was very focused on the prosecution of the war on terror and keeping America safe from future attacks. “
Obama is clearly NOT interested in keeping us safe.

His semantics cloak his naivete about our enemies. Slightly over half the voting public does not realize we live in very dangerous times. And it’s not the economy. I pray every night that God will smile on us despite our weak and ineffectual President. We are not a country of Socialists. Pray Lord turn his mind around if you can but protect us from those who will do us harm even if our Dear Leader won’t act.
Yes, indeed.
He is unilaterally surrendering us to the terrorists.
“Obama’s walking away from the war on terror will only encourage our enemies. It is the functional equivalent of appeasement. We are no more able to successfully appease the Islamafacist terrorists, than Chamberlain was able to successfully appease Hitler.
We are involved in a long struggle. We didn’t choose this war, and we cannot back away from it. We cannot afford to be seen, or even be perceived, to falter in our determination to prevail. If we are, it will encourage our enemies and prolong the war.”
We can’t spend money on the WOT, you insensitive clod! Don’t you know that there are BENEFITS FOR BLACK PEOPLE at stake??????

With 0bama’s rhetoric we should consider our enemies encouraged. It will be much tougher to defeat them now as they know we have a President who thinks WE are the bad guys and will bend to their will. Pray for our country. We desperately need prayers.
And the terrorists will step right in to the hole Obama creates.
Obama is a terrorist himself. I’m more afraid of what Obama and his National Socialists are going to do to destroy this country than I am in what Osama’s next step will be.
Well Islamic Terror is not stepping down. Its in the mode of ratcheting up.
Obama is a fools fool or a trojan horse
VP Dick Cheney is 100% right.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.
Protecting the country’s security is “a tough, mean, dirty, nasty business,” he said. “These are evil people. And we’re not going to win this fight by turning the other cheek.”
Maybe if we build windmills and leave the Arabs alone?
No?
“I told my son (in high school at the time but will be a Marine on July 1st) this will be a forever war.”
Congratulations for your son becoming a Marine and wishing him and you all the best.
Thanks so much. He’s really excited.
Elections have consequences.
I hope voters enjoy them.
My friends, Obama is now the President. The Democrats now run congress. The only thing we can do for now is hang on and go on this wild ride that may well take us straight to hell.
He’ll have blood on his hands....blood of innocent American citizens he is supposed to protect. He is supposed to be OUR advocate.
This is what we get for electing someone who really isn’t an American.
What the moron doesn't seem to understand is that 9-11 was planned and funded while Clinton was President. The guy loved by all the world... It was less than 8 months into Bush's Presidency that the 9-11 attacks occurred and had done little to provoke anyone.
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. I guess this is one of those...
We can infer from what little we know of Mr O’s background that the only eocnomics theory he knows is Keynes or Das Kapital. That he knows little or nothing of history, including Roman or Greek history or that he has ever read any military history.
It shows.
