War on Terror


As most of us sat cozy and warm with our families on Christmas morning sharing the gift of happiness and family.... that wasn't true for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.

He was sitting on a plane flying from Amersterdamn to the US of A, and he had hidden explosives sewn into the crotch of his underwear.  His attempt failed thanks to some brave airline passengers.

His father warned the CIA over a month before the failed terrorist attack on December 25th, 2009.  OOPs somehow the information was .... was.... was....er I'm attempting to say that there was a huge failure once again to secure our country.

Why do you think that over this year we have had so many terrorist attacks (yes the Ft. Hood incident was a terrorist attack)?  I believe the number is at 6 at this time.

I look at Iran and North Korea who have launched missile after missile... this didn't happen on Bush's watch.  N. Korea launched 0 missiles while Bush was President...but within one month of Obama taking over.... N. Korea launched 17 missiles.  Hmmm wonder why that is so? 

First Obama has become a World Appeaser and dear Lord everyone read that message loud and clear.  Next Obama struck the words "War on Terror" from the WH.  OOPS 

Today both the US and the UK shut down the embassy's in Yemen.  Hmmm Yemen... when exactly did Yemen become such an Al Qaeda hot spot.  I know that this is the ancestral homeland of Osama Bin Ladin and was also the site of the 2000 Cole bombing.  But why 10 years later is Yemen such a hot spot?  Oh wait.... the GITMO detainees who were released are now in Yemen, obviously right back causing terror once again.  And there are 60 more that are going to be released and sent to Yemen.  NOW that's a huge problem.  (Watch "This Week" episode for Sunday January 3, 2010 for the interview with Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan).

This takes us back to GITMO and the wise decision to release the detainees.  I wonder who came up with that BRIGHT idea!  I'm a bit scared.... after 9/11 I was also scared but I quickly felt safe with the action of our CIC.  Right now...I'm not feeling so safe.
