Sen. Joe Lieberman was right to sound the alarm about Yemen in the wake of the Undy-Bomber's Christmas Day terror attack over American skies. But he was wrong to call it "tomorrow's war." The Yemen-based jihadist network has been at war with us for years since before the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, since before Sept. 11 and well before our current commander in chief had begun his vaunted work as a community organizer.
The bleeding-heart ostriches of the left are blaming (who else?) cowboy George W. Bush for radicalizing poor, oppressed Yemenis. But the killer fruits of botched bomber Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab's loom have nothing to do with poverty, social injustice, Western imperialism or Bush Derangement Syndrome. The fundamentalist Muslim is the privileged son of a Nigerian public official. He lived a "gilded life," as the Independent of London described it, studying engineering at one of Britain's most prestigious universities before training for terror in Yemen.

In a rational world, tinpot dictators would be terrified of hosting terrorists who attack the country with the most powerful military ever. In a rational world, Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and Syria would be radioactive smoking ruins. In a rational world, Iran would have attained that status in 1979, and Iraq in 1990.
Liberals stand revealed .they do not believe there exists a war with Islamic fundamentalism. Liberals believe terrorists are just poor, desperate people striking back at bad US foreign policy and that the military-industrial complex is using terrorism as a means to continue feeding the military budget.
Bottom line: because liberals do not believe terrorism is a real threat, they do not take the need for security seriously.
Obama believes he can reach out to the world and change their hearts.
Napolitano believes domestic conservatives are the greatest threat to this nation.
Clinton believes terrorism is a simple criminal matter.
The people they appoint reflect their managers views, hence, when information comes through regarding a threat, there is no sense of urgency, no seriousness and no responsibility.
ABC News reported this week that two of the four jihadi leaders behind the Christmas Day terror plot were released from Gitmo during the Bush administration in November 2007. (What a quandary for Bush-bashers who have stubbornly denied that Gitmo recidivism threatens our national security.)Not a quandary, not a quandary at all. Not for the left. It lies. It reports its own lies as news. Then spins its own lies as analysis.
This one will end up something like this (I bet):
Many, many innocent young men were subjected to the horrors of GITMO for so many years that it converted them to terrorists... an understandable and justifiable response to a torturous regime they were cruelly subjected to.
There.
