Eight years after the worst-ever terrorist attack on American soil, the man who was Governor of New York at the time, George Pataki fears that President Obama has weakened U.S. security.
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, Pataki says: “There is no question in my mind he is jeopardizing our security. You cannot turn terrorists loose, turn them back to where they came from and not expect them to engage in that activity again. We’ve already seen the example of a number of Guantanamo detainees who were released and returned to the battlefield, fighting our troops, fighting others who are trying to uphold the rule of law and defend freedom. So that clearly places us in jeopardy”

The three-term Republican governor also warns the investigation and possible prosecution of CIA terrorist interrogators by Obama’s attorney general will undermine America’s national security.
“When CIA officials, CIA agents and others who play a critical role in trying to gather the intelligence we need to prevent further attacks have to look over the shoulder about investigations and possible criminal charges, it certainly hampers our ability to get the necessary intelligence to protect ourselves,” he says.
Pataki suggests Obama is repeating the mistakes of the previous Democratic administration.

Pataki? I’m shocked.
Time for RINO’s to come out of hibernation. Make a couple popular statements and lure the people in.
Pataki was there, he saw what terrorists are willing to do.
Too many of the liberal elite repeat what they read what other libs told them to think about it.
Never forget.
Well, Pataki, are you going to step up and run against Gillibrand and help stop Zero, or are you gonna sit on the sidelines and yammer away ?
Must be the 50,000 muslims on Capital Hill 9/25/09 that helps him to see the light.
And water is wet. But this is what the majority that votd on November 4, 2008 voted for. Even those that would be adversely affected. You plant a turnip seed, you get a turnip, not a collard or oak tree. That is what they wanted that is what they got.
