Obama wakes up [to international terrorism?]; White House alarmed
New York Post ^ | 05-11-10 | Ralph Peters

Posted on 05/11/2010 12:44:28 PM PDT by thouworm

Something big is happening. Big enough to alarm the White House. So big that the administration did an abrupt about-face regarding terrorism.

Terrorism's serious now -- driving major policy reversals. The administration just won't tell us why.

(snip)

But the administration's biggest policy reversal to date came from Holder, the longtime advocate of terrorist "rights," who offered one of the most belated acknowledgments in history when he told a TV network, "We're now dealing with international terrorism."

(snip)

And there wasn't a single mention of "man-caused disasters" this time around. Every administration point person talked "terrorism." Next thing you know, somebody in the White House will use the term "Islamist terrorist."

(snip)

Some revelation about the terrorist threat has shocked the president. It's about time.

Could be this:

Earlier this week it was discovered that Shahzad was posting on terror websites since 2006...but that the Obama Administration took him off the terror watch list anyway. Al Qaeda tears through eight Iraqi cities, leaves more than 100 dead

or this

The government blamed al Qaeda in Iraq for violence in Baghdad, saying the terror group is stepping up its attacks now to exploit political instability.

or this

American-born Shabaab commander releases recruitment tape

or these

The surrogate jihadis in US

Ralph Peters is a good analyst,but I think he misses the obvious. We are now finding names that connect obama to terrorists OVERSEAS. If obama wants the spotlight off of himself, he had best focuss it elsewhere. Good luck with that.

Our Dear Leader Islamist is concerned that Islam threatens the US?

No. Threats from white militias.

I guess it's just plain silly to hope he isn't using this new found enlightenment for political gain, isn't it? Sort’ve like John McCain waking up to the fact that a certain segment of illegal immigrants are desperate and criminal engaged in desperate acts and crime. I dunno’ but you have to wonder if these men are really that obtuse. I personally don't know which is worse — lacking integrity or being dumber than a box of rocks.

Yes, in fact there is an article in the NY Post today in which they point out how Hussein Obama has scored big time with gays and lezzies with this appointment.

He spent awhile in pawkeystan. He went with a fella named siddiqi to meet his whole family. He wandered the backroads and country side to meet the “real people.” Right? When Americans were verboten to in that p place.
aafiya siddiqi has just been convicted of attempted murder here in a Manhattan Court. She was scheduled to be sentenced on May 6. Since the attempted bombing, it has been rescheduled for August 16. aafiya siddiqi is related to khalid sheik mohammed by marriage.
obama personally intervened in ksm’s trial at which he was going to plead guilty and brought it to a dead halt after it had already begun.
The Mumbai bombers were Chicago connected. He had dealings with malik hasan.
He was briefed on the Christmas day bomber in Novemeber, but he made it all the way here anyway. shahzad was taken of the terror watch list shortly after obama took office.
AQ in iraq is back at strength. He was negotiating secretly with the taliban. He lifted the ban on tareq ramadan and allowed him back into this country.
He issued a special invitation to the muslim brotherhood to attend his Cairo speech.
He has colluded with abbas against Israel.
And oh, so much more.

I thought Soetero and Holder were on the side of terrorism.

The sarcasm on this thread is withering.

OK

“I thought Soetero and Holder were on the side of terrorism.”

But did you notice how they have to throw their own under the bus on occasion to save the “cause.”

Holder’s #1 work priority is lining up top notch pro bono legal talent for Muslim terrorists.
