'Security' insecurity
NY Post ^ | April 18, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 04/18/2010 3:23:50 AM PDT by Scanian

They’re back . . . You know, those civilian trials once planned for chief terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohammed & Co. in Manhattan — before Team Obama was mugged by reality.

Well, they’re “not off the table,” Attorney General Eric Holder said last week, even though Obama aides said just a few months ago that they were.

It’s worrisome news for New Yorkers, who’d face big security challenges — and costs. More troubling, though: The AG’s words are part of a pattern of flip-flops, backtracks and confusion over key national-security issues — a full 15 months after President Obama took office.

By now, you’d think he’d have mastered the learning curve, no?

Consider: Just two days after being sworn in, Obama signed an executive order calling for the closure of the Guantanamo Bay prison within a year.

Yet the facility remains open today.

What a pathetic “administration”. Just imagine what goes on behind closed doors there in terms of America-bashing and Alinsky crap.

Sorry, I have very little sympathy for NY, NY. These people voted for this. They voted over 80% for Obama and his thug nation and now they are getting it.

Now it's too late and we're supposed to worry about NY's security when they didn't?

I have limited sympathy for them regarding a terrorist trial in The Big Apple.

I'm sure it is our fault Obobo can't get anything right. If we thought Hildabeast blaming everything on a "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" for hers and Billy Boy's problems, wait until we're blamed for Obobo's failed presidency.
