Obama Still Living In Pre-9/11 World

Topics: Political News and commentaries

In light of Obama's stunningly naive statements yesterday that were astonishingly-far-removed from the realities on the ground in the war on terror, Andrew McCarthy suggests a question Sen. John McCain ought to be putting to Sen. Barack Obama every day:

This is June 2008. That means it marks the ten-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden's indictment.

He was first charged by my old office, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, in June 1998. That was before the bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania (hundreds killed), before the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole (17 U.S. members of the U.S. Navy killed), and before 9/11 (nearly 3000 Americans killed). So it's fair to ask: How is that strategy of prosecuting him in the criminal-justice system working out?

Is Barack Obama naïve, foolish, or both ?

Naive, foolish, arrogant liar gets my vote.

Yes Chillguy33, we know all you "Obamamoonie" Trolls will vote for Obama regardless.

And yes the War on Terror is just a "distraction" invented by Bush and Cheney, 9/11 was an "inside job" perpetrated by Bush to launch a war on Islam, and, as Obama has spoken, going after terrorists is a job for "Law Enforcement" and not our military.

Just as Obama proposes, to go after those who planned a terrorist attack on the US - after the fact, of course, since we need the dead bodies and the rubble as evidence because according to the "Habeas Corpus" now granted presumptive terrorists, you cannot put on trial an
"innocent" terrorist, who has not committed an act of terrorism yet, solely on the presumption he "may carry out a terrorist attack" - all we need to do is send a couple of FBI agents and N.Y. Detectives with Warrants into the Al-Qaeda caves and hideouts in Afghanistan to arrest the suspects and bring them back to indict them. Of course, the terrorist's will be read their "Miranda Rights" - in their native language or dialect - as they are being arrested in the field - and to ensure their rights are not violated, they will be provided Lawyers immediately upon being arrested in the Karakoram Mountains, at taxpayer expense of course (the lawyers will accompany the Law Enforcement entourage when they go arrest someone), and a New York Times "commie" correspondent will be at hand, as an independent observer, to act as a "watchdog."

Then when Al-Qaeda gracefully complies and hands us the suspects in Afghanistan - as per those "Warrants" we sent our Law Enforcement Officers, lawyers, and NYT correspondent with - they will be speedily flown "First Class" be transferred to an American prison specially designed to meet their ethnic dietary, and cultural, Muslim, needs, which should be appropriately called the "Obama Hilton,"

Said facility will provide all the "creature comforts" it is a terrorist's right to have, such as "Goldilocks Accomodations" - rooms not too cold, not too hot, but just right; feather mattresses not too firm, not too soft, but just right; clean stainless steel toilets and wash basins; three square "Halal" meals a day; five calls to prayer in Arabic through speakers all over the facility, as well as Korans, Prayer Rugs, and Prayer Beads will be provided to the inmates ; a recreation area where they can exercise and even play basketball, and tennis; and an Entertainment Center with a large screen TV playing Arabic language programming - even propagandist Al Jazeera...but wait, oh no, dear me! I forgot such a facility already exists - it is called "Guantanamo"! Ahhh!

What can I say? The naive, "commie," far-left, lunacy, of Obama and his "Obamamoonies," has no end in sight! They won't wake up until it is too late, a major US city is wiped out in a terrorist nuclear attack, and a million Americans are dead!

"They won't wake up until it is too late, a major US city is wiped out in a terrorist nuclear attack, and a million Americans are dead!"
You're rigit about this, Althor, but I'm the kind of guy that likes to see the bright side of things, a silver lining in the clouds so to speak. The good thing that will happen with a million Americans dead because of the left's lunatic, naive, touchy feeliness for our enemies - is that a whole hell of a lot of those bastards will die with us.

No apologies for my lack of PC.

Personally, I'd round up all the hate-America radicals in our midsts, all the proto-commie socialists, all the naive ideologue Marxists, all the secular progressives, all the Black Nationalist racist hate-mongers - in other words all the "Democrats," pack them on the decks of a few air carriers, and land them in their
"Communist Paradise" in their beloved Ché's and Castro's Cuba, for an "extended vacation" - something Michael Moore, Danny Glover, Harry Belafonte, and yes, Michelle Obama and her husband, would really enjoy!

Imagine all the "delicious" hate-America communist propaganda that they'll be showered with 24/7 that they will be able to savour in Cuba...not to mention surprise visits from Hugo Chávez and Ahmadinejad (where Obama can sit down to speak, grovel, and socialize with both hate-America tin-pot dictators at ease, without so much annoying "critcism"), and all the "Free Health Care" by the local "Agrarian Revolution Veterinarian" they will be able to enjoy. I am sure it's enough to make their "commies" mouths water!

Not only that, but, I am sure with such as Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Durbin, and the Obamas, helping Castro govern and "meddling" in Cuba's internal communist politics, they will accomplish what for fifty years the people of Cuba have not been able to achieve...the imminent collapse of Castro's Revolution!

Now, wouldn't that be a blessed side effect of us sending them there!
