Obama Administration:
Critics Are Aiding Al Qaeda
You're either with Obama, or you're with the
terrorists

The
Obama administration has issued an op-ed piece in which critics
of the president's policy on terrorism are described as "serving
the goals of al Qaeda".
The piece, titled We
Need No Lectures, appeared in USA Today and
was written by John Brennan, an assistant to the President and
Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.
Brennan writes that politics "should never get in the way of national
security. But too many in Washington are now misrepresenting
the facts to score political points, instead of coming together
to keep us safe."
Brennan defends the administration's handling of the failed
christmas day underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, by
boasting that he was read his rights and "Mirandized".
The response comes following GOP criticism that the Obama administration
was treating the attempted bombing as a routine criminal case
rather than a terrorist plot.
However, both the Democrats and the GOP have failed to address
the real issue on the matter, the
multitude of questions surrounding the circumstances
in which Abdulmutallab, known to the authorities, was allowed
to board a flight without a passport.
Rasmussen
reports today highlights the fact that 75% of Americans
are angry at the government’s current policies.
The
latest Gallup stats show that Obama's approval
rating on terrorism remains at a lowly 48%, down from 55% in
the last 7 months.
Despite these figures, John Brennan writes "We need no
lectures about the fact that this nation is at war. Politically
motivated criticism and unfounded fear-mongering only serve
the goals of al-Qaeda."
So essentially "you're either with us or you're with Al
Qaeda" huh? Where have we heard that one before?
Brennan is a fine one to talk about politically motivated fearmongering.
Just last week, he and his fellow intelligence chiefs announced
to the world that a terror attack in the United States is "certain"
to be launched within the next six months.
"The warning is bound to frighten the public, with no
obvious benefit beyond the ability to say 'I told you so."
commented the editors of USA Today, whose piece entitled "Officials’
handling of Christmas Day attack looks like amateur hour"
also prompted Brennan's response.
If anyone is aiding al Qaeda, it is the incumbent administration,
which has not veered away from any of its predecessor's foreign
policies.
The drone missile strikes in Pakistan have been escalated.
With what effect? A
ratio of 123 civilian deaths to every three 'al qaeda' operatives.
American troop levels in Afghanistan have tripled under Obama.
The "terrorist" surveillance program continues, as
do military commissions, illegal rendition, and detainment of
enemy combatants without charge.
How ludicrously ironic it is that the GOP critics only step
out from the shadows to call Obama out whenever he does something
in a slightly different cackhanded way to George W. Bush.
“The most important thing for the public to understand
is we’re not handling any of these cases any different
than the Bush administration handled them all through 9/11,”
Obama told CBS News on Sunday.
That is exactly the problem. But then I would say that, I'm
with Al Qaeda apparently.
