The Toothless Visas Viper
by Pamela GellerAfter a series of successful and unsuccessful jihad attacks across this great nation, on Christmas day the crotch bomber struck, attempting to explode a bomb hidden in his underwear while landing in Detroit on Northwest Flight 253. And so after months of ignoring the jihad against America and pretending that nothing was happening, Barack Obama sprang into action — with useless, toothless reform.
In the wake of the Christmas Day bomber’s attempted attack, the US Visas Viper terrorist reporting program criteria have been broadened.
The Visas Viper program is used by the Department of State and other national agencies to place on “watch lists” known or suspected international terrorists in unclassified and classified government look out systems such as CLASS (Consular Lookout and Support Systems).
So it’s a good thing that Obama is broadening the criteria for reporting terrorists in this program, isn’t it? Actually, no. Make no mistake: it is not going to help whatsoever. Obama’s “tough” new criteria don’t let us filter out potential terrorists using minimal profiling criteria.
The vast number of bureaucracies involved already render the “watch list” process a tangled up inter-agency web. And it is simply ridiculous how the Visas Viper system, which is the main system that we use to try to prevent terrorists from obtaining visas, uses such vague and toothless criteria – even after Obama’s “reform.” How vague and toothless? Under the present system, people who express anti-American sentiments can fly. People who contribute money to identified terror organizations can fly – no problem. People who associate with known terrorists, but have done nothing further to support terrorism, can also fly. Even people who claim to be members of a terrorist organization, but have done nothing to further support terrorism can fly.
This is insane. Isn’t membership in a terror organization support of terror?
All this is consistent for Barack Obama. He has blamed Gitmo for Islamic expansionism, appearing to believe that if we bow and kowtow to our mortal enemy he will become a friend. Don’t upset the Nazis, and they will love us!
Obama has long ignored the onslaught of jihad attacks in America. Close to 40% of the planned and actual Islamic attacks on America post-9/11 took place in Obama’s first year.
Back in September, in a breathtaking act of audacity, Obama stood at the podium of the UN in New York City talking about what he thought was the greatest threat to Americans and to future generations: global warming. As he spoke, bomb-sniffing dogs were out in force in New York City. Ray Kelly, the New York City police commissioner, was giving a press conference on the situation. A cell of Islamic jihadis targeting New York City was planning to blow up the transit system, as well as sports stadiums and the sites used for Fashion Week. Self-storage lockers in Queens were being searched for bomb-making materials.
The president spoke of the global warming hoax like a snake oil salesman. He said that “we understand the gravity” of the threat. “We are determined to act. And we will meet our responsibility to future generations.” He said that a failure to address the threat could lead to an “irreversible catastrophe.” Time, he said, is “running out,” but “we can reverse” the problem. “If things go business-as-usual, we will not live, we will die,” he said. “Our country will not exist.” He told us that it wouldn’t be easy, but “I am here today to say that difficulty is no excuse for complacency. Unease is no excuse for inaction.” Imagine, he said this while the city was in the throes of jihad terror – what would have been the worst attack on New York since 9/11.
Yet when Senator Jack Reed said on FOX News Sunday that the Obama administration was better on terrorism than the Bush administration, he wasn’t joking.
Only the left can massacre language, render words meaningless and have their egregious actions left unchallenged.
But they will not forever go unchallenged. The jihad will only get worse. And I predict when a Muslim gets one off in a mall or an airport, and limbs are flying and babies are dying, that Tea Partiers and Town Hallers will be joined by counter jihad protests. They will be protesting the Obama administration’s hopeless inaction and impotence in the face of the jihad against our nation.

Commie lib Moooooooooslim Obamie: America's Robert Mugabe [Wahington, D.C.: Harare, Zimbabwe] Welcome to the third world!
Give it up man. You bring nothing to the conversation, and add nothing to intelligent discourse.
Just close the border. Problem solved. We don't need one foreigner in this country.
Michelle Malkin recently wrote a piece on how State was getting a total pass, since it had stupidly issued the visa which made all else possible for the UndyBomber. If you think about it. the way Obama is acting toward the Islamist terror problem is the same way Chamberlaine dealt with Hitler, only today's analogy would be a post-Poland invasion Chamberlaine.
Even Chamberlaine woke up to the problem after Hitler seized the rest of Czechoslovakia, abrogating the Munich Pact. Yet despite all the post-9/11 carnage, Obama and LibDems want to push the snooze button on it all and address the real problem facing America: Global Warming. I agree. Terrorists want to warm us all up to about 3000 degrees Fahrenheit. Can totally ruin your day. Could this government be run by bigger idiots? I don't think so.
He's very accurate.
I feel safer already! Didn't you guys hear what the Dali Bama said? He has everything under control. He wants us to go back to sleep and when we wake up, everything will be as it should……under his control.
Sadly, I do not get the warm fuzzies with BO and the Gang at the helm.
I'm with you on this. I know it is a matter of "when" not "if". I have no explanation on why it hasn't happened yet. By all accounts it should have.
The trolls are out again today
I love the invocation of Chamberlain from the amateur wonks. Let's talk about the decades of appeasement of Israel on their illegal settlements. This makes our support of Israel (a waste of billions of dollars when we are running deficits) guilt by association and it is why we are targets. What do Americans get out of this deal? Nothing good and a lot of bad including higher energy prices.
If you didn't know Michelle was Filipino and female and if you believe Medai Matters she is actually a Dixie KKK white man from Mississippi.
In Hawaii you learn the Filipino woman has their head screwed on tight.
This is the same rationale used in 2008. Once Bush left office and Obama entered office the world would just magically fall into place. How did that work?
You say let's stop funding Israel. I say let's take the handcuffs off.
And when they are done knocking each other off imagine all of the oil we can burn to help warm the planet.
"This is the same rationale used in 2008. Once Bush left office and Obama entered office the world would just magically fall into place. How did that work?"
No one believed that would be the case if Obama just acted like Bush which is what he has done. People like me saw he was going to do that but his supporters wouldn't listen.
Obama lies. Not some of the time, but always. Got it? Now get off your butts and help change the mess we have gotten ourselves into by trusting the words of politicians and not watching every move they make.
You have a strong faith in human nature. I put my faith in Mother Nature. And Mother still doesn't trust human nature. And neither do I.
This is without a doubt, the MOST DANGEROUS administration we have EVER had, and getting more dangerous by the day!!! We have to get these traitors out of OUR country and out of Washington NOW!!!
Wow…here we go again with the Israeli terrorists crap again. You really want to cite an event that occurred in 1946? An event that was preceded by a phone call to evacuate the building. I guess you prefer the indiscriminate bombing attacks the radical muslims and Hamas use in their tactics. That sure makes things better.
You seem to have forgotten the immigrants that settled this country.
Seems events prior to 1946 are often invoked to rationalize the creation of Israel in the first place.
"I guess you prefer the indiscriminate bombing attacks the radical muslims and Hamas use in their tactics."
Was that happening prior to 1946 or only after Israel was created with terrorism and provided the very bad example for everyone that TERRORISM WORKS. See, practice terrorism and you can steal land and get away with it.
"You seem to have forgotten the immigrants that settled this country. "
No, pioneers did. It is the difference between a home owner and a home invader.
Typical liberal "blame the victim" mentality, Hass. BTW Israel handed Gaza to the Palestinians on a silver platter, they looted it to hell, it became a war zone between Hamas and Fatah and then a terrorist hellhole. Some Jewel of that Mediterranean that turned out to be, huh, D? Oh well, you know what they say about pearls before swine.
By the way, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah siad "We are glad the Jews are all in Israel. It saves us the trouble of hunting them down worldwide." The Jews could vacate Israel tomorrow, and they wouldn't be any safer from Jew-hating butchers than if they were in Auschwitz. Guess that rehab isn't working out, huh, Dave? It shows
Yo, peckerhead,
You beat the drum against Israeli aid. How much money did we send to Israel last year?
How much did we send to Palestine?
On a similarly related topic, how much money did we send to Muslim nations that hate US, for oil? Do you know? Would you hazard a guess?
The figure is north of 275 billion dollars.
Using your argument, that "they" hate US because WE fund Israel, is a moot point. Israel should be pissed because we are dumping billions of dollars to the ragheads and sand fleas, by the barrelful.
You need a new argument.
You really don't like anything Jew, do you?
What is the reason?
Zionist blog? That is cute.
We send about 2.5 BILLION in direct aid. More than any other nation
This doesn't count all the military hardware we GIVE them
Or the LOAN GUARANTEES.
Or the LOANS that AIPAC lobbyists get Congress to forgive EVERY YEAR making it more back-door aid.
Or the lucrative deals that not only net them profits but give them the very tools to blackmail our politicians like Infosys – see here: http://whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/spyring...
Or the money from the Madoffs, Goldman Sachs, and other Israeli sleeper agents working in our government and financial sector.
We don't get one drop of oil for that. And we would be paying a lot less for oil if we didn't support Israel. Isrealis, like all welfare recipients, only has contempt for us – feel entitled to OUR money.
Who is our government work for? Doesn't seem to be for the American people.
I am not a liberal and you don't know much about Gaza. Israel was never handed over – Israel withholds money from Gaza and has had an illegal blockade on Gaza to destroy any exports they have (used to export flowers to Europe.) Israel is trying to remove the Palestinians from Gaza since they discovered they had oil….which is funny because Israel originally forced the Palestinians there because they thought the land was worth less.
Israel funded Hamas – something else I bet you didn't know. So once again you see the root of the problem is Israel. They fund one group to fight another and you buy the whole thing about them fighting each other just as intended. Must be embarrassing to discover you have been lied to your whole life, huh?
As I have said before, you aren't entirely all wrong, all the time. Even a broken clock is right, twice a day. Perhaps it is your presentation, and delivery.
Personally, I am against aid to Israel. I am also against aid to ALL foreign countries. We need not try and buy anyone.
Years ago, on Wall Street, there were two seperate and distinct sides of the street: The Gentile side, and the Jew side, and never the twain should meet. Throughout the years, those lines have been blurred, crossed, and erased, until they now control Wall Street, as well as the Treasury, and the FED. Combine that with an unproportionate amount of Senators and Congressmen, and it doesn't take long for one to get a skewed opinion.
Yo Dasselhoff You personally lose something? Some skin in the game anywhere? Cause I can get insane grief. But that's the only pass you get. After that, you're just another skinhead bigot. Go get a tatoo. Then be true to your school and join Hezbollah strait up. See if they'll have you.
Israel receives more foreign aid than any other country. #2 is Egypt…but the REASON we give them money is so they won't destroy Israel. Camp David Accords – Carter. So, that goes on their tab, too. More money they cost us.
The US is an illegal settlement for Israel, it seems.
This pospotus will lie when the truth will do.How can anyone feel safe or even comfortable when you cannot trust a word this half wit empty suit says
Half wit?
How DARE you call him a half wit?
That is insulting and degrading to all the half wits out there.
Last November, I thought nothing worse can more happen….Obama must be getting professional advice from hard core Russians on how to take a country apart. If Brown wins in MA will help our morale.
This is not an "administration", it is a "regime". An administration "governs", a regime "rules". What does it look like we have?

and definitely watch what both hands are doing…question everything they do not once in a while but always even if it seems good….and refresh those in congress every chance you can!!!
"Isn’t membership in a terror organization support of terror?"
Well, I dunno… isn't a communist fascist a communist fascist?
Who pissed in your matza this morning? The Nazis are loose again I guess. Shalome!
And no ALLEGED terrorists can be blocked until they actually blow some shit up, get caught red-handed and get read their Miranda Rights. Until then, they fly, or it would be unfair to the other alleged terrorists.
Don't want any hurt feelings, you know. Not when we're trying to live down the shame of Gitmo. Alleged terrorists aren't our enemies. They're just friends we haven't met yet.
Yes, we are being ruled by despots. We will overthrow them one way or another.
PLEASE HELP DEFEND LT MICHAEL BEHENNA .http://defendmichael.wordpress.com/
Right now it seems the visa programed to error on the side of terrorists and against the American people. It's time to inconvience the potential terrorists instead.
Gaza was never handed over, Hass? They even took the corpses with them! Are you kidding me? But you are right about one thing. I HAVE been lied to my whole life. Case in point. Look in the mirror. Fortunately, I've been wise enough to choose not to believe the lies.
Last question on Hamas innocence and Israeli guilt on the blockade. Who attacked aid shipments at the border crossing? How many missiles has Hamas fired into Israel since 2006, all directed at civilian targets like schools? Look, I won't argue with a washing machine, I'm not arguing with you. It would be just as pointless. So you hate Da Jooz. Get in zee line! Achtung!
Pam,
Good seeing you here again. Excellent article. I enjoy your blog.
In all seriousness, can those statements made by Ms Geller regarding the toothless criteria of the watch list be verified ? As much as I am not surprised daily w/ this ' house that is white', I gotta say that those stated allowances being made seem here seem too much to fathom.
Anyone ?
No more pillows or bathroom breaks for the last hour of a flight. Obama is a genius. His energy policy was to inflate your tires. Three more years of this inane hack. God help us, all.
The only reason Obama has even been able to demonstrate his feckless approach to the problem is the fact that the only reason they weren't scraping people up in Detroit was the FAILED DETONATOR on enough PETN to destroy that aircraft. Consider the "what if". What does it take? It's patently obvious the man's agenda doesn't include our security. It's all about him and the good news is the word is getting out.
