Today,October 12, marks the 12th anniversary of the bombing of the USS Cole.The grim milestone comes as President Obama faces mounting questions about his administrations dereliction of duty during the murderous attack on our consulate in Benghazi,Libya.And it comes just a day after resurgent al-Qaida thugs pulled off the driveby assassination of a top Yemeni security official who worked at the U.S. embassy in Sanaa. These are notbumps in the road.These are gravesites on the blood-spattered path to surrender. Seventeen U.S. sailors died in the brutal suicide attack on the guided Navy missile destroyer as it refueled at the Yemeni port of Aden in the fall of2000.Then-President Bill Clinton vowed to track down the Muslim terrorist attackers:We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable.But a dozen disgraceful years later,Slick Willys toothless promise has become a bitter punchline. The current Democratic White House has not only delayed and denied justice to the victims and their families. President Obamas footdragging administration,crawling with pro-terrorist lawyers,effectively undermines our nations ability to detain,contain and destroy jihad threats from within and without. Suspected Cole bombing suspect and former PersianGulf Operations Chief for al-Qaida Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri has been in U.S. custody since 2002 and at Gitmo since 2006. In February 2009,Obama met with Cole families and promised them justice. Then,he stabbed them in the back by ordering the (Social)Justice Department to abandon the death penalty case assembled against the al-Qaida mastermind under the Bush administration. Thats right:The Osama bin Laden footballspikers in the Obama administration deliberately dropped the USS Cole ball on al-Nashiris military prosecution because of their opposition to the Guantanamo Bay detention system. Jesse Nieto,father of murdered Cole sailor Marc Nieto, wont forget it.That really left a bitter, bad taste in my mouth,he told the Newnan(Ga.)TimesHerald earlier this year.

The only 'terrorists' Obama Hillary, and Homeland Security care about are American citizens who happen to be conservative. They would take out Chick-fil-A if they could - they'd run 'em out of Chicago if it weren't for that pesky paper called the Constitution.
Dems aren't just rude jerks - they're little totalitarians....
I declare "The War on Terror" over.
Call it what it is.
