OBAMA AWOL IN TERROR WAR
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN

President Barack Obama's record in battling terrorism has proven so weak that one wonders if he really takes the issue seriously.
Since he has taken office, the president has:
• Announced closure of Guantanamo.
• Declined to prosecute the mastermind behind the USS Cole bombing.
• Closed all overseas CIA interrogation centers.
• Appointed an Attorney General and Justice Department officials on record as opposed to the use of "enhanced" interrogation techniques in terror investigations.
• Granted Al Arabia television his first news organization interview and called Fatah Party leader and PA President Mahmoud Abbass in his first phone contact with any foreign leader.
Now, with no strings attached, the president has allocated $20.3 million in "post-conflict humanitarian aid" to "Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza. The additional funds bring to $60 million U.S. aid commitments in Gaza.
Of course, Gaza is totally controlled by the terrorist group Hamas which grabs any aid that arrives and uses it for its own purposes. In fact, on February 7th, the U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) - the body charged with distributing the new U.S. aid - announced that it was suspending assistance in Gaza because ten lorries, laden with humanitarian supplies, were seized by Hamas members. It was the second time that week that Hamas has stolen aid destined for the UNRWA.

Responding to the obvious low profile Obama is giving his battle against terrorism, two key nations - one an adversary and the other an ally - both acted to aid al Qaeda in the days after Obama's inauguration. Neither got so much as a verbal a slap on the wrist from the new Administration.
The Associated Press reported, on February 8th, that Yemen, which boasts of having a "truce" with al Qaeda, "released 170 men it had arrested on suspicion of having ties to al Qaeda." The announcement came "two weeks after [al Qaeda] announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian Peninsula."
Yemen has also made it clear that it expects most of the 100 remaining Yemenis at Guantanamo (out of the 250 inmates still there) to be sent home after Obama orders the prison shut.
And, Pakistan, a supposed ally, has just concluded a deal with the Taliban ceding to its control an area on the Afghan/Paki border which its troops had, unsuccessfully, tried to capture. The Taliban now has the same deal it had in Afghanistan - a protected sanctuary from which to launch raids on the West. In view of the Administration's passive acquiescence in the Paki decision, one is driven to ask why do we still care about freedom in Afghanistan?
On all fronts, the message from Obama is the same - surrender, pullback, and weakness. It is a matter of time until al Qaeda and other terrorists walk through the door he and his appointees are holding open and hit us again.
Obama lied, Americans die.
Faced with analysis of the FACTS to date, regarding Obama’s actions and position statements about the WOT and our position, one can only assume he is more interested in SUPPORTING our Islamic enemies, than protecting American citizens and our troops, against same.
It is really ugly.
“The Taliban now has the same deal it had in Afghanistan - a protected sanctuary from which to launch raids on the West. In view of the Administration’s passive acquiescence in the Paki decision, one is driven to ask why do we still care about freedom in Afghanistan?”
GET OUT NOW. Not another foot soldier in that shthole - let al queda slither in and establish base camps and turn the whole desert into a nice shiny glass parking lot.
Fits in with Barry’s agenda - to destroy this nation, and bring chaos on earth.
I’m afraid another attack on the U.S. will be a matter of time now. Should we get attacked, will Americans wake up and stand against Hussein or keep backing him up on his ridiculous policies.
“one can only assume he is more interested in SUPPORTING our Islamic enemies, than protecting American citizens and our troops, against same.’
Well, they ARE the enemy of his enemy...
Fits in with Barry’s agenda - to destroy this nation, and bring chaos on earth.

It is still amazing that a large part of the electorate STILL has no idea what they put into our beloved Oval Office.
However, it's not so amazing when one realizes that a strong delusion has been sent.
From what I've witnessed so far, Obomas war is against Americans.
There is no “war on terror”. It is just a slogan on a bumper sticker. (Sarcasm on!!)
• Announced closure of Guantanamo.

Morris forgot to mention the fact that the War On Terror is a term that’s now obsolete. As deemed by Bambam and the Democraps.
“The Associated Press reported, on February 8th, that Yemen, which boasts of having a “truce” with al Qaeda, “released 170 men it had arrested on suspicion of having ties to al Qaeda.” The announcement came “two weeks after [al Qaeda] announced that Yemen had become the base of its activities for the whole Arabian Peninsula.” Yemen has also made it clear that it expects most of the 100 remaining Yemenis at Guantanamo (out of the 250 inmates still there) to be sent home after Obama orders the prison shut.”
We are going to catch it soon - the best thing we have going for us is that we are not in Israel....its open season on Jews when the Gitmo boys get back to work...Bambi has been a BIG help...and Spielberg was his biggest supporter...what is this power he has to cloud men’s minds? Is he The Shadow???
Whitehouse.gov has a number of policy issues, but nothing on the War on Terror.
0 don’t care.
My guess is he's working toward Sharia law and has no interest in stopping the Muslim terrorists. Why else would he be attempting a fascist take over of the entire country through unnecessary bail outs and deeply hidden regulations?
There is no War on Terror. It ended on Jan, 20th 2009.
