US Response To Failed Christmas Jihad Is So 9/10
by Andrew MarcusPresident Bill Clinton should be cut a lot of slack when it comes to 9/11. Sure the attack was planned under his watch, and sure President Clinton cowardly avoided taking custody of Osama bin Laden when Sudan offered him on a platter.

The truth of the matter is that prior to the 9/11 Jihad attack, there was no way in the world the American people would have stood for the large scale war that was necessary in order to fight this new kind of Jihad army.
Think about it this way, even after the Jihadis have murdered thousands upon thousands of people all around the world, including here in America on 9/11, the American Left still think it’s all America’s fault and that we deserved it, and therefore we have no legitimate right to fight back. Just image how much resistance there would have been toward going into Afghanistan prior to 9/11.
Add to the whack-o Left the fact that the Right would have accused Clinton of simply trying to distract attention away from his perjury case, and it should be obvious that Clinton didn’t have much political capital in reserve to convince the country that a preemptive war was necessary to avoid a large scale attack against an American city.
All of that slack aside, where the Clinton-Democrats truly failed the nation and the world is evidenced in the way they responded to the Jihad attacks which had taken place prior to 9/11. Think Cole, Kobar Towers, Kenya, WTC ‘93, (Oklahoma City?), etc….
Even after Osama bin Laden openly telegraphed his fatwa of Jihad against all Americans (specifically civilians included) the official American response to each act of war was designed to deny the Jihadis the status of being capable of waging war against the great and powerful United States.
The more the Clinton Administration refused to deal with the Jihad as a full blown war against the United States, the more 9/11 became necessary for the Islamists. The Jihadis needed to perpetrate an attack so grand in scale that there would be no way what-so-ever for the US to deny that there was a war going on, and it was being waged by people long underestimated by the average American.
Perhaps if the Clinton Administration had bothered to treat Jihads as real warriors who deserved to be defeated in battle, rather than common criminals who should to be convicted in court, 9/11 could have been avoided.
Coincidentally, while the United States was on a strong war footing during the Bush Administration, rejecting the criminal paradigm of the previous administration, we were not attacked again.
Coincidentally again, now that we are back to a strategy of denying the Jihadis of warrior status, treating them like criminals who simply need to be found guilty in a court of law, there is an apparent uptick in attempted/successful attacks against Americans on American soil.
Evidence that Democrats have returned to the 9/10 mindset of treating Jihadis as nothing more than common criminals, not worthy of the status of warrior, can be found in the Obama administration’s reaction to the Ft. Hood Jihad massacre. The official response has thus far been to refuse to admit that Hassan committed an act of Jihad when he gunned down dozens of Americans.
Evidence that Democrats have returned to the 9/10 mindset of treating Jihadis as nothing more than common criminals, not worthy of the status of warrior, can be found in the Obama administration’s decision to bring the 9/11 Jihadis to NYC to face trial in a common criminal court, rather than a military court.
Evidence that Democrats have returned to the 9/10 mindset of treating Jihadis as nothing more than common criminals, not worthy of the status of warrior, can be found in the Obama administration’s reaction to the failed Christmas Jihad of 2009.
There is a reason why Obama hasn’t given a public statement. It’s strategy.
Here’s the theory: a two-bit mook is sent by Al Qaeda to do a dastardly deed. He winds up neutering himself. Literally.
Authorities respond appropriately; the President (as this president is want to to) presides over the federal response. His senior aides speak for him, letting reporters know that he’s videoconferencing regularly, that he’s ordering a review of terrorist watch lists, that he’s discoursing with his Secretary of Homeland Security.
But an in-person Obama statement isn’t needed; Indeed, a message expressing command, control, outrage and anger might elevate the importance of the deed, would generate panic (because Obama usually DOESN’T talk about the specifics of cases like this, and so him deciding to do so would cue the American people to respond in a way that exacerbates the situation. [MORE...]
Yeah, it is strategy. It’s a strategy that should feel familiar. It’s the failed strategy the Democrats led with for 8 years under President Clinton.
The “two-bit mook” comment is quite revealing of America’s dangerous and ignorant return to the failed strategy of underestimating our extremely capable enemy.
Just as Osama openly declared war against America, and arrogant Americans reacted with near indifference, this wing of jihadis who planned the Christmas massacre have recorded a video, openly declaring their war against us. [via Gateway Pundit]
Will we react arrogantly again, assuming that this is just another crazy camel herder making crazy threats again? Or will we react with the full force of our American military?
Judging by the apparent Democrat 9/10 strategy, we can guess what the reaction of the Obama administration will be. They will send the FBI to Yemen, and complain about the lack of help we are getting on the ground in that Islamist country. Just like the way President Clinton responded to the Kobar towers Jihad bombing in Saudi Arabia.
Change….back to 9/10. You can believe in that!

Here's the deal. This attack only failed because the device failed.
There he is.
When Obama said he wanted a review of the No Fly list, what he really meant was to make sure the list was reviewed before they fly. Treating these terrorist as criminals is only one more attempt at world appeasement.
"Or will we react with the full force of our American military?"
Considering The One's playing golf today Id bet 20 bucks the answer is a negative. Did he even make a statement? Reassure the American people the way a leaders supposed to…? Why is he not rushing back to the WH? I mean the expectations required from GW has certainly dropped with this guy.
Are you sure that wasn't a tea party?
I heard they were the dangerous ones.
"All of that slack aside, where the Clinton-Democrats truly failed the nation and the world is evidenced in the way they responded to the Jihad attacks which had taken place prior to 9/11. Think Cole, Kobar Towers, Kenya, WTC ‘93, (Oklahoma City?), etc…."
Interesting that Oklahoma City was inserted in parenthesis, with a question mark added. Oklahoma City has never been adequately explained. There is more to the OKC Federal Building Bombing. Clinton, and Reno wanted it buried. It was the SECOND full scale terrorist attack on American soil, preceded by World Trade Center I.
We are not at war with Islam. Move along nothing to see here.
We are at war with those pesky right wing extremists that hang on to their guns and bibles. Maybe the FBI should watch those right wing extremists a little closer. Maybe they already are.
Excellent article from Jonah Goldberg on todays Janet Nepalitano talk show debacle.
http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=YTY0Y2E2...
She is a plumb idiot, complete with incoherent jibberish.
It is no wonder the Obamao seems to want to leave the USA mainland so he can practice being the "king in waiting" for his adopted home in Hawaii. Where is the outrage over an attempted act of Islamic terrorism? Where is the outrage of Islamic tyranny against those in Iran who desire freedom? There is a quickly developing pattern and it stinks on ice. For the leader of what was formerly known as the "free world" to not speak up against such acts of terrorism and tyranny it is obvious he condones such behavior.
Janet napolitano says the system worked . what would she have said if the bomb wasnt a dud that the system is a smashing success. I cant wrap my head around the utter stupidity of our govt or its political appointies. when someone declares war on citizens you dont call the cops you send in the marines they know how to deal with these crazies.
"Al Qaeda in Yemen says it is fighting the US."
Per Janet Napolitano, the real terrorists are the anti-abortion groups, Tea Partiers, NRA, veterans returning home, and people who are skeptical of big government. Meanwhile, the elephant continues to scream that they're at war with us, but they don't really mean it. Obama will talk to them and everything will be okay. Now let's get back to focusing on our real enemies – the American people.
The second muslim, on the same airliner as the Christmas islamist, that was pulled from the flight today was assuredly a bomber as well. Flying without baggage and hiding in the bathroom for an hour; probably trying to crap out the explosives he swallowed. Our utterly incompetent govt is trying to hide their failure by claiming this was a non issue. Bullshit. They don't want the citizenry panicking over the govts absolute inability to keep terrorists of our planes.
The democrats are a danger to the people of this nation. One way or the other these leftwing fools need to be removed.
Janet Napalitano: 'THE SYSTEM WORKED'.
WoW! I just want to turn my Heath Care over to these inept buffoons……………..
OKC had islamic ties as detailed in a very revealing book by Jayna Davis called The Third Terrorist.
Come on, don't try and lay any of that on President Bill. Everyone knows that it was Bush's fault. I have no doubt that if President Obama took a break from the golf course to talk about the failed bombing, he would tell us how it was his 'predecessors' fault.
Dealing with them is easy. Kill them. Kill them all.
George Bush just phoned in, he said: "Do you miss me yet?"
If the "system" is rely on the public to save themselves then we should liquidate homeland security and save the taxpayer those wasted funds.
I know.
I know all to well. I remember the day vividly. I had friends there.
I was in an office in Ft. Worth when the newsbroke. The VERY FIRST story run, was eyewitness accounts of a "middle eastern lookin man". They had an APB out, and were looking all over the city, on all roads. The story was NEVER run the second time.
WHY?
Thanks for the link cowboy. They linked to the Napolitano video here:
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2009/12/27...
She did indeed sound like an utter twit.
Once again, in a situation that calls for a principled voice of world leadership, we have the Bolshevik Boy Wonder out on the links … pathetic.
Did this self-absorbed twit learn nothing from Jimmy Carter's misguided accommodation of this vile, apocalyptic regime?
Nor from Ronald Reagan's brave and principled support of Solidarity in Poland… thus freeing millions?
http://reaganiterepublicanresistance.blogspot.com
I sure as hell do!
My point exactly.
How many BILLIONS do we waste on Homeland In-security? it is a joke.
Offer a bounty , open to all people for terrorists. 50k to bring one in. 100k to bring one in dead. it would be more poipulkar than the Powerball, or Catholic Charities Bingo.
So do I………
well I guess i am a terrorist too
not just yes butHELL YEAH!!!!!
I still want to know what Sandy Burger smuggled out in his pants and I also want to know what the hell Jamie Gorelick was doing on the 9/11 commission when it was she that should have been investigated. The truth is that if Clinton had done his job and gotten Bin Laden, 9/11 would not have happened and we would not have had to invade anyone. We still should have gone and kicked Saddam's ass for violating umpteen UN resolutions and violating the oil for food program. One thing the libs will never admit is that our going into Iraq caused Mohamar Qhadafi to give up his nuclear program. Bill Clinton has alot to answer for but never will. He disgraced the office.
yesterday i was clinging to my gun (hunting) today I was clinging to my bible (worshiping) tommorrow I'll be clinging to tools(working) three things leftists know nothing about
But who would be there to tell us "the system worked".
See that's a job "saved" right there.
Don't you love that, 9/11 Bush's fault. All the lib's know that
But we're still hearing from Obama at the same time in his Presidency, that it's Bush's fault.
I'm a thinkin' 'bout now,that King Barry is starting to get the inkling that his "peeps" are a tad unhappy and growing restless…………
I think there should be open season on all the bastards. They don't come here because they are fleeing something in their own country. They come here so that when they get the signal, they are already ingrained in our society and they'll take us out in our own neighborhoods. Of course, this will be after ObaMao make gun ownership illegal. Wouldn't be good for his leaders to see the proles defending themselves. The man has shown over and over again where his sympathies lie, and they are not with US. He is muslime to the core.
The focus of the left is and will remain the breakdown of the the US Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, and theDollar. Everthing else including this War is only an opportunity to further thoses aims…
This post shows a complete lack of understanding of all the attacks against America pre-9/11, a complete lack of understanding of who and what al Qaeda (and other jihad fighting groups) are and what their intents are, and of the various responses that Clinton offered or didn't offer…
The suggestion that Obama making a comment would elevate the Nigerian bomber while causing panic in the States also shows a lack of understanding of what a President is supposed to do…a statement from the President that came out strongly to assure the U.S. that the promised change would be coming and that something, anything would be done to protect the American people and place the burden on believers of the one ideology that continues to attack the U.S. would only have caused panic to the terrorists…
There are plenty of things Obama could have and should have said rather than playing gold and acquiescing to his Islamic pals whom he has been courting all year…this is not a 9/10 mentality because that would presume no knowledge of 9/11 or the 8 years post-9/11….no this is much worse…this isn't even a 2/25 mentality – this is 9/14 mentality. 9/12 most of the US was united. By 9/13 the conspiracy theorists and Islamics were blaming George Bush and a host of other reasons. By 9/14 there was a concerted effort, mostly by Leftists, to align with the jihad and leverage their tactics, their propaganda, and their attacks to gain power…now that they are in power, this is how they permit panic to spread further.
It's a strategy alright but not the one Pundit suggests. With DHS claiming "the system worked" this is how Obama plans to sow the seeds of panic and fear and put more restrictions than Bush Cheney ever imagined.
Watch.
There was enough PETN to blow up 4 planes. Lucky is an understatement. When he mixed the 2 binaries he may not have let it dry enough or he urinated his pants before lighting it. Those are the only reason that stuff did not go boom. PETN is very explosive very very explosive.
Our luck will not hold up forever. Get your black suit and dresses ready, we are going to be in morning with an administration that says that "system worked" and ""attack was "foiled" by a bad detonator."" PETN only needs a basic M80 type fuse to go boom it just can't be wet is all.
Get it right. Old Letcher Slick was only interested in grab ass with any woman within his grasp. He is a craven coward merged with an attention demanding wife who is soley interested in a power political career for herself. Clinton fired a few retaliatory missiles only in an attempt to distract us from the Lewinsky affair. He sheathed the sword the moment of his confession. As always it is about them; not us. .
Obama is too busy plotting against and destroying America to be interested in a war on two fronts. His priority is to ruin us. His friends are over there. It is not hard to figure out why the "terrorists" have no fear of Obama. He is helping them.
"Did this self-absorbed twit learn nothing from Jimmy Carter's misguided accommodation of this vile, apocalyptic regime?"
Funny. What we are fighting now, Saudi Wahhibism, and Muslim Extremism, are all directly attributed to the failed policies of the imbecile Carter.
Ah yes, but "they" cling to their failed ideologies. I am sure their solution to Islamifascism will be to snuggle them to death………
You are right.
You understand the workings.
My bet? I bet the raghead got scared and pissed his panties…………
You do make some valid points.
Especially the last one.
Watch.
Just sit back and watch. When the chips are down, watch what happens to "those people". There will be blood in the streets.
Let's invade Iraq again and teach them a lesson
True fact, CL
Actually, no. He can disappear forever as far as I'm concerned. Along with his lame-a$$ buddy Duck Cheney.
We should fight terror with terror.
Someone needs to contact the terrorists. Send them a fax, or an email, even a Twitter. Tell them to throw in the towel (pardon the pun) or we will send Secretary of State Hillary "Cankles" Clinton, AND Janet "The Bull" Napalitano over there immediately to negotiate with them; IN THE NUDE……….
That should put the fear of Allah into them.
Well with him only able to get 20 years if he is lucky he will be out in time to blow up something else, unless of course someone in the White House grows a pair and sends this guy to GITMO for a military tribunal. We know that's not going to happen not with these jokers running the country.
The left will spin this as Bush's fault somehow. We know that it must have been Bush's fault because Obama has told the Muslims we were wrong. Obama is the great healer and our enemies will lay down their arms, I guess he didn't think they would lay down their arms then weaponize their underwear!
He's not very good at reviewing anything. I seem to remember he was going to veto any ear marks and review every line item in the budget. So the budget is bigger now than ever and the No Fly list is smaller than ever. That hopey changey things not working out so well.
OMG, Cowboy…. It would induce cardiac arrest to see Clinton (the ONLY woman with her legs on upside down) and Janet "tune snapper" Napper with her "cat 'o nine tails" and "D" batteries. You are cruel and insensitive. (cracking up)….
I'm sure you are wrong, he will teach the Miranda Rights speach to each person in the military just so they can be tried in civil courts. He will then insure that these enemies of our country can get their 15 minutes of fame.
Boy do I miss Bush. He may not have been the best with the teleprompter but he was for us not against us. Obama has yet to prove that he is more than just an idiot puppet.
I never and will never understand the thought process that allows a person to be put to death but not fully interrogated to get information. If we are willing to kill someone shouldn't we be able to pump them full of heroin for a few months before then withhold their fix until they tell us the truth? I mean really these people are going to be put down like the dogs they are it is stupid to leave a single question unanswered.
I said on a previous topic, Napolitano went from baking cookies to baking National Security. Can you say burnt? It's like her piloting a fighter jet when all she's done is fly a kite. Totally unbelievable appointment just like the rest of obongo's czars. I think the userper is really waiting for a crisis before Nov 2010 to declare martial law….and there go our elections.
To quote one of my favorite characters, Austin Powers said it best, "She's a Man, Baby!"
If it wasn't for the brave passengers and the dud fuse, we would've had a tragedy. I hate that woman.
What about Dutch's brave and principled support of arms for hostages?
Here is a short video that should scare everyone to death, just notice how little PETN it takes to cause major damage. http://bit.ly/5lnNwt
President Clinton was closest to ever capturing Osama bin Laden. He has publicly admitted that it was his failing that he did not pursue him further, which was the advice of the CIA and his own administration. What happened when he prepped the Bush administration with this intelligence? Nothing.
We should always fight against these terrorists, but lets not become revisionists in this fight…
She makes Janet Reno look good. Even when the FBI & ATF was either show boating or given the wrong orders Reno took the blame. Janet Napalitano doesn't even know she is wrong. The system didn't work people did and the bomb failed to go off as planned. These have nothing to do with her department, now if he had be nabbed before getting on the plane then the system would have worked. What a dumb, and I mean Dumb (female dog).
Are you going to be flying soon? remember if the guy next to you lights his underwear on fire that Janet Napalitano said 'THE SYSTEM WORKED'
Then remember that never happened under Bush! Dick Cheney should be considered the best American of all, not only does he know how to keep our country safe but he only shot one person and that was a lawyer!
Last week, it was 44% of the public that wanted GW back. Would imagine that number is closer to 50-55% by now. Maybe when it's 75%, you may come round huh? Then again, you're obviously a dipocrat so likely not.
I will put money it was the records for Able Danger. The Army intel that pointed to Atta as a leader of a terrorist unit in the US. Which they wanted deported when his Visa ran out but the Clinton Administration didn't want to do that and said it would be illegal to deport Atta. So 3,000 lives later Burger is taking papers that would have pointed a big finger at Clinton and his band of Merry Men.
Obama will be doing the same thing as soon as he stops blaming Bush for everything. I hope that Michael Moore makes a movie about the Christmas Bomber, they can call it "Golfing While Being Bombed".
Obama isn't just an empty suit but a dangerous one too. I can't believe he is about to start pushing healthcare again while the security of our country is failing.
We already won that war thanks to Bush. We also now have the largest airbase in the Middle East to use against our enemies. Along with an entire stealth force.Not a bad trade. I just want to know if we still have the tatical nukes there as we did under GW Bush. I don't think Obama has the guts to use them even if they are still there.
HOLY sh*t!! man, oh man.. that is some super-scary stuff.
Been there, done that, got the headrag. Let's invade Yemen instead. Hell, let's cut to the chase and invade Saudi, the central snakepit.
Actually, I am. And I'm not the least bit concerned. I make it a habit not to go around being scared of my shadow or two-bit terrorists.
"Won" may not exactly be the correct term. We're sort of mucking our way along, coming up on 7 years after we showed up. Call it a win if you like.
I can't wait to get to a "Post 11/10 Mentality" ….as in a Post November 2010, when We the People show these Washington DC buffoons that we were serious when we said we wanted our voices heard. We don't want this government nonsence they keep throwing at us, we don't want terrorists tried and held in the U.S., and we aren't going to put up with it any longer.
What surprises me is that the POS was still alive when the plane got on the ground. Too bad there wasn't a SEAL team on th e plan headed home on leave.
Thanks Cowboy. I just deposited my breakfast in the toilet.
You must have missed the memo. The Saudis are our best buds. Don't you remember Bush walking around holding hands with one of the Saudi main men?
a whole lot of us in Louisiana know what a sight recticle in a 3×9x40 is all about, if they want to meet allah mr .308 will make the arrangements can you say headshots
never liked the evil empire but one must admire their political will

Obama and his "Ship of Fools":
http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/10/ship_of_fo...
You forgot Nancy Pelosi! She is the ultimate stopper. Facing that; I'd cut it off.
hate is such a mild word i prefer LOATH
Phthalo has a good solution posted above. no season no limits. declare war on us citizens some of us will shoot back
They think we are stupid…… Who believes anyone flies internationally with no luggage? Why wouldn't he come out of the lavatory? Same flight (#253) from Amersterdam…… does anyone think this is a coincidence? Hopefully, next week the "idiots in charge" will be taken to task on this second event.
Had the device not detonated on Christmas, it would have been another catastrophic terorist achievement. Thank goodness for the brave passengers on board!
if we would fight the two wars we are in using the same model as ww2 things would be different. war is an evil thing but it is even more evil to half ass your way thru one civilians die that is a shame but wasting our soldiers lives trying to fight a kindler gentler war is worse than a shame and it emboldens our enemies. we need to be predictable the enemy needs to predict if they mess with us their own people will rise up againt them to get us to take our boot off their neck. we have the greatest military in the world take the damn leash off give them, more than what they need and let them get the job done so they can come home.
your right cowboy just tell them if they dont stop thse 3 are what the 72 virgins look lik ewhen they blow themselves up thatll do it
Surprise, surprise…the terrorists still hate us! Will somebody tell Obama this fact? Now, at least, he has a current one to negotiate with! Talk to him big "O"!
Good point, just as well he stays quiet.
Here is the Pentagon main switchboard number: 703-545-6700. Why don't you give it a ring and ask for ADM Mike Mullen. I'm sure he'd be interested in hearing your ideas about how to get these two conflicts wrapped up pronto. Who knows, you might even get some sort of award.
It's stupid lead by stupider. The liberals who embrace Healthcare in the same sentance will say they do not trust this administration. Yet no one will spreak up and ask how can you say you are unsure of this adminstration yet you support the HealthCare proposal, Stupid is as Stupid does I guess
There are about 500 people in the house Senate There are about 2 million in our armed forces. There are 340 million Americans I would assume at least 1/2 are armed. Let me ask you all what will it take for people to remove these traitors from power. 1 million killed, 100 thousand killed, your family killed. Obama is a Muslim , Marxist he does not care how many die as long as he gets what he wants. He will not change and he will not stop unless he is stopped. You think the Press or any of the Politicians in DC will even try and stop him? Think again. This is a defining moment people. If health care goes through his panels will just declare dissenters insane and jail them. Wake up people he is doing all this before your eyes while raiding the treasury for his never ending vacations and parties. And you in the MSM you all disgust me with your blind eyes to what he is doing.
I missed him when he got on the plane.
well then why dont you tell us what should be done since you seem to have an answer for everything,
Janet Napolitano is the epitome of vacuous presence. Ineffectual perfection.
Sorry to say Harley as one of the 50% you mention, I only with it were that simple, we have a big problem here my friend. Here is a piece i wrote earlier.
The posse comitatus act created in 1878 states “it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States to execute the laws of this nation without the approval of the congress of the United States”. In 2007 Bush paved the way for the National Defence Authorization Act which severly dilutes and obfuscates the Act of 1878 with bipatrisan support congressional support to make it possible to have our troops turned on us by executive order without even the requirement of notifing congress during a "national emergency"…
Bush initiated this, you know the one the MSM hates? Not one word of this was uttered in the MSM, not one word…
Pass a law requiring all government officials to travel commercial only.
Great! Now I'm gonna have nightmares…lol
Loathe………….and I loathe and abominate them as well.
"LOATH" means that you are unwilling to do something, as in I am loath to go to a gathering of Dems; they turn my stomach.
I do and so should the entire populace of this nation! Sadly, those still suffering from extreme BDS don't………….yet.
At this point, I miss Jimmy Carter.
Don't bother me now. I'm too busy chumming the sharks off Waikiki.
Now, now, let's not get crazy.
He learned plenty. He learned how not to standup to the Russians and how to cave to terrorists.
You're exactly right. Letting the Shah fall and sitting on his arse like a jackass for 444 days emboldened the Islamists and helped lead us to where we are today.
my sentiments exactly they want to meet allah lock and load.
Excellent article. The point, of course, was the difference between a "WAR FOOTING" understood and fiercly practiced by President Bush and these incompetent fools with their excuse driven beliefs that all attacks are isolated incidents. Well, ObamaPOS, these jihadists almost killed 289 Americans and the other passengers. You are a traitor and extremely dangerous to Americans and our allies.
When America is on a "WAR FOOTING" it is feared by those foreign powers who seek to destroy us. When it is on a pussie, limpwristed and gutless Obama footing is is comedic and laughable by America and our enemies. It is only a short matter of time before we are severely hit with great loss to American lives. You and your treasonous administration WILL be held responsible. That loss of treasured blood will be on your hands and you will have to pay the piper. And pay you will !
