You Don’t Say! Obama Suddenly Realizes He Has Muslim Relatives

Now that he is safely elected, Barack Obama, who distanced himself from Islam like Rosie O’Donnell does to diets, suddenly admits that not only does he have “Muslim members” in his family, but he EVEN has “lived in Muslim countries.”

That’s interesting. Conservatives were excoriated for simply pointing out that Barack’s father is Muslim and that his middle name is Hussein. Oh heavens. We’re so mean.

But now that it comes out of his mouth, let me guess: Islam is an asset?

Quoth Muslim the Usurper-in-Chief:

“My job is to communicate the fact that the United States has a stake in the well-being of the Muslim world, that the language we use has to be a language of respect. I have Muslim members of my family. I have lived in Muslim countries,” the president told Al Arabiya. “My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy. We sometimes make mistakes. We have not been perfect.”

Whatever you do, Mr. President, when speaking about America, make sure it is stated in negative terms; say nothing positive about America. Don’t claim that we’re law abiding and peaceful people as you claim Muslims are. Oh no! Tell the Islamic world that we’re not as bad as they think.

Whatever you do, don’t demand an end to the active Muslim support of violent jihad against the West. And definitely don’t point out the fact that Muslims has been bullying its neighbors for the last 1400 years and continues to bully Jews and Christians and Catholics and Hindus to this very day.

When it comes to Islam, liberals have some serious Stockholm Syndrome. Or perhaps it’s battered wife syndrome.(2)

(1) The syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden, in which the bank robbers held bank employees hostage from August 23 to August 28 in 1973. In this case, the victims became emotionally attached to their victimizers, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.

(2) The condition explains why abused people often do not seek assistance from others, fight their abuser, or leave the abusive situation. Sufferers have low self-esteem, and often believe that the abuse is their fault. Such persons usually refuse to press criminal charges against their abuser, and refuse all offers of help, often becoming aggressive or abusive to others who attempt to offer assistance. Often sufferers will even seek out their very abuser for comfort shortly after an incident of abuse.

Safely Elected, Obama Suddenly Admits Guantanamo Isn’t Closing So Soon

Even as he admits that G-Bay is more complicated than he cares to admit (or understands), Obama still insists that G-Bay will eventually close. Jihadists rejoice!

ABC: Obama: Gitmo Likely Won’t Close in First 100 Days — Closing Guantanamo Bay More Difficult Than People Realize, President-Elect Tells George Stephanopoulos in Exclusive Interview on “This Week” By MARY BRUCE

“I think it’s going to take some time and our legal teams are working in consultation with our national security apparatus as we speak to help design exactly what we need to do,” Obama said in an exclusive “This Week” interview with George Stephanopoulos, his first since arriving in Washington.

“It is more difficult than I think a lot of people realize,” the president-elect explained. “Part of the challenge that you have is that you have a bunch of folks that have been detained, many of whom may be very dangerous who have not been put on trial or have not gone through some adjudication. And some of the evidence against them may be tainted even though it’s true. And so how to balance creating a process that adheres to rule of law, habeas corpus, basic principles of Anglo-American legal system, by doing it in a way that doesn’t result in releasing people who are intent on blowing us up.”

All this talk about the detainees actually being guilty while fretting about the lives of racist Amerikkkans must really irritate Obama’s supporters. So in order not to irk them further, we get this:

But Obama said unequivocally that it will close. “I don’t want to be ambiguous about this. We are going to close Guantanamo and we are going to make sure that the procedures we set up are ones that abide by our Constitution.

The Constitution, Obama? You mean that same document that says you’re ineligible for the Presidency?

“That is not only the right thing to do but it actually has to be part of our broader national security strategy because we will send a message to the world that we are serious about our values.”

And sending messages to the world is our first priority. Moreover, it’s actually part of our “broader national security strategy.”

Keeping our citizens safe from madmen Muslims? That’s less of a concern.

“What Liberal Media?” Politico.com Laments Israeli Attacks Will Interfere with Obama Honeymoon

The priorities of some liberals is truly the stuff of parody.

Responding to rocket attacks launched by the savages of Hamas, Israel has conducted a massive military response. Good for Israel.

Meanwhile, in a story titled “Conflict upends Obama’s plans,” Ben Smith and Harry Siegel at Politico.com respond to the event thusly:

Israel’s continuing attacks on Gaza serve as a reminder that President-elect Barack Obama and his nominee to be secretary of state, Hillary Rodham Clinton, will not get to choose the world they inherit Jan. 20.

As opposed to all those other Presidents who did get to choose the world they inherited?

The incoming administration had planned to focus on the economic crisis and recalibrating U.S. policy in Iraq and Afghanistan in its early months — but the Israeli assault on Hamas may have instantly changed that calculus.

Uh, George W. Bush was expected to juggle the war on terror and economic concerns. You know, like after 9/11/01. Do you remember 9/11/01? Presidents are expected to devote their efforts to multiple problems, issues, or concerns.

“For all the talk of putting the [Middle East] conflict on the back burner, it’s going force itself onto the front burner,” said Daniel Levy, a fellow at the New America Foundation. Levy said that if the conflict in Gaza is still ongoing when Obama takes office, he will face regional and international pressure to broker a settlement.

When will people finally understand that the Muslims conducting these attacks DO NOT WANT a “settlement” ?

Obama’s views on the Israeli action remain opaque. Even as the attack continued into its third day Monday, with a Palestinian death toll topping 300 and Israel threatening a ground invasion, Obama had yet to say a word about the crisis, on the grounds that President George W. Bush (who has also been silent) must take the lead.

Of course, of course. Obama will take the microphone and stand before the camera when he’s making appointments to his cabinet. As for the dirty work, George W. Bush is still President!

Isn’t It Ironic? Hippie Parents of “American Taliban” Beg Bush for Pardon

Recall John Walker Lindh, the young man caught by the U.S. military and currently serving a short prison sentence (20 years) for his support of the Taliban. Lindh left California (where else?) to study Islam and somehow ended up being the useful idiot that he is. Lindh plead guilty to aiding terrorists.

Lindh’s parents, who strike me as the kind of people who would have protested the Vietnam War in the 1960s and cursed President BusHitler’s name since 2000, are appealing to that same President to commute Lindh’s sentence. Isn’t it ironic?

At a news conference, Lindh’s mother, Mary Walker, atleast attempted a rational argument for commuting the sentence of her son:

“John thought he was going to Afghanistan to defend civilians against attacks by warlords who were being supported by Russia and Iran. Although this was a mistake on John’s part, it is not something that warrants his continued imprisonment…”

“A mistake on John’s part”? “A mistake”? Thinking that John McCain respects conservatives is “a mistake.” But Lindh?

Oh, on the other hand, who are we to judge? Who among us has not (1) left their home and family, (2) traveled half-way across the world, (3) converted to Islam, and (4) joined a group of fundamentalist and anti-American terrorists (5) in armed battle?

As for Frank Lindh, the father of the traitor, he couldn’t be bothered to outline, you know, legal reasons why Lindh should be released. The good liberal he is, Frank Lindh appealed to the warmonger Bush’s emotions while exhibiting some good ass kissery for good measure. Quoth Lindh, Sr.:

“None of us has ever given up hope that President Bush would show it in his heart to release John from prison. Back at the time when John was picked up, President Bush was the only public official in the US who spoke in a sympathetic way about John. There was something about John’s situation . . . that really did touch the President. There’s been an awful lot on the President’s plate since 2002. This is the time when the President will revisit those original feelings that he had, and find it in his heart to release John from prison . . .”

Where were these two opportunists when Bush needed support for, say, the invasion of Iraq, or the War on Terror generally? Or support for anything else?

I understand the desire of any parent to have his child out of prison. I suspect, however, that in their conversion-by-convenience, these oblivious parents still do not comprehend the gravity of what their son did.

John Lindh’s behavior revealed a grave lack of judgment at best. I wish no ill will on him nor on his family, but commuting his sentence reduces treason to a common crime. I remind the Lindh family, and John himself, that treason was once punished by execution. In many parts of the world, it still is. Perhaps the Lindh family would do well to be grateful and cease reminding patriotic Americans of their existence.

Update: In Michelle Malkin’s December 19th column, she recounts bits and pieces of the real John Lindh, who is not the angel his parents would like us to believe:

[Lindh] told the feds he trained with al Qaeda before the September 11 attacks and he fought alongside them after Osama bin Laden’s henchmen murdered 3,000 of Lindh’s fellow citizens on American soil. He wrote a letter to his mother expressing support for the U.S.S. Cole bombing that took 17 sailors’ lives and, despite an emphatic denial by Lindh’s father that Jihad Johnny took up arms against his country, he recounted how his rifle malfunctioned on the front lines in Takar.

Finally, on Nov. 25, 2001, upon being captured and taken to the Qala I Jangi fortress outside Mazar E Shiref for interrogation, Suleyman al-Faris/Abdul Hamid/John Walker Lindh sat silent — and deliberately and defiantly chose not to tell American CIA officer and former Marine Corps artillery specialist Mike Spann about a planned Taliban prison revolt. Spann was killed in the riot.

Asked by journalist Robert Pelton at the prison if “this the right cause or the right place,” Lindh replied unequivocally: “It is exactly what I thought it would be.”

Would you pardon this ruthless bastard? Hopefully President Bush will focus his energies on pardoning those who fight for America and not against America: Agents Compean and Ramos.

Ingratitude and Muslim Shoe Fetish Aimed at Bush

by Michael Ramirez

IHT: For journalist who threw shoes at Bush, anger ran deep By Riyadh Muhammad

The brother of Muntader al-Zaidi, the Iraqi journalist who threw his shoes at President George W. Bush during a joint press conference on Sunday with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, said Monday that he was “proud of his brother – as all Iraqis would be.”

Muntader al-Zaidi remains in Iraqi custody. According to his brother, Muntader al-Zaidi is “a calm man.” Both of his parents are dead, and he has 10 other siblings. Maythem al-Zaidi said that his brother is politically independent, but several people who know him mentioned that he was a Baathist who turned into a Sadrist after the war.

Bush should be used to this behavior by now. Do the right thing and you get attacked. Liberate people from a murderer and you get a pair of shoes thrown at you.

So little gratitude, so many Muslim shoe fetishists.

The Secret Service: what exactly were they doing while this degenerate was throwing shoes at the President? I need not tell you that this man could have thrown worse things than shoes. Whoever was responsible for protecting the President should be fired promptly.

As for this deranged so-called journalist, did the American Stalinist media tell us about his background? He just happened to be a former Baathist turned Sadrist. No wonder he’s pissed.

Investor’s Business Daily asks:

“President Bush’s thanks for ousting Saddam Hussein is to have a pair of shoes thrown at him. If Arabs are so ungrateful for our sacrifices in ridding them of tyranny, should we even bother?”

Lessons from Mumbai

It’s Not the Cold War — Updating strategy to fight the ideology By Mark Steyn

It’s not an either/or scenario, it’s all of the above. Yes, the terrorists targeted locally owned hotels. But they singled out Britons and Americans as hostages. Yes, they attacked prestige city landmarks like the Victoria Terminus, one of the most splendid and historic railway stations in the world. But they also attacked an obscure Jewish community center. The Islamic imperialist project is a totalitarian ideology: It is at war with Hindus, Jews, Americans, Britons, everything that is other.

What’s relevant about the Mumbai model is that it would work in just about any second-tier city in any democratic state: Seize multiple soft targets and overwhelm the municipal infrastructure to the point where any emergency plan will simply be swamped by the sheer scale of events. Try it in, say, Mayor Nagin’s New Orleans. All you need is the manpower. Given the numbers of gunmen, clearly there was a significant local component.

To Return to the Battlefield

AP: Judge orders release of 5 terror suspects at Gitmo By LARA JAKES JORDAN

A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of five Algerians held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the continued detention of a sixth in a major blow to the Bush administration’s strategy to keep terror suspects locked up without charges.

In the first case of its kind, U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon said the government’s evidence linking the five Algerians to al-Qaida was not credible as it came from a single, unidentified source. Therefore, he said, the five could not be held indefinitely as enemy combatants, and should be released immediately.

“To allow enemy combatancy to rest on so thin a reed would be inconsistent with the court’s obligation,” Leon told the crowded courtroom.

Leon was appointed by President Bush in 2002.

US Deaths in Iraq Plunge, Media Unimpressed

U.S. deaths in Iraq plunge to wartime low in October By ROBERT H. REID

U.S. deaths in Iraq fell in October to their lowest monthly level of the war, matching the record low of 13 fatalities suffered in July. Iraqi deaths fell to their lowest monthly levels of the year. Eight of the 13 Americans died in combat, most of them in northern Iraq where al-Qaida and other Sunni insurgent groups remain active. The U.S. military suffered 25 deaths in September and 23 in August.

In Afghanistan, meanwhile, 15 U.S. military deaths were reported for October. The monthly toll in that combat theater had been in the 20s since June, when 28 Americans were killed – the worst one-month total since that war began in late 2001.

Iraqis Take More Control of Country, Liberal Media Unimpressed

The U.S. relinquished control of a southern province that includes Sunni areas once known as the “triangle of death,” handing security responsibility to the Iraqi government on Thursday. In the capital, where insurgent attacks continue nearly daily, a car bomber targeted a government minister’s convoy, killing at least 13 people.

Babil is the 12th of 18 Iraqi provinces to be placed under Iraqi control and a sign of the improving security. U.S. forces will remain in the area to assist the Iraqis when needed.

This should be trumpeted across America.

Attack at U.S. Embassy in Yemen

Blasts rock US embassy in Yemen

A double car bomb attack on the US embassy in Yemen has killed at least 16 people, Yemeni officials say.

Washington said bombers targeted the main security gate as staff were arriving for work, but they failed to breach the compound’s walls.

The militants, who were reportedly dressed as policemen, also exchanged gunfire with guards during the assault.

The US blamed al-Qaeda for the attack, and President George Bush said it was a reminder that the US is at war.

Security sources said six members of the Yemeni security forces, six attackers, and four bystanders were killed in the attack, which occurred in the capital, Sanaa, at about 0830 (0530 GMT).

US officials have confirmed that none of the casualties were Americans.

Speaking in Washington, Mr Bush said the attack was “a reminder that we are at war against extremists who will murder innocent people to achieve their ideological objectives”.

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others; it will end in a way and at an hour of our choosing.

Names in the small tracks of birds.
Names lifted from a hat
Or balanced on the tip of the tongue.
Names wheeled into the dim warehouse of memory.
So many names, there is barely room on the walls of the heart.

U.S. to Strike Iran?

According to Dutch intelligence, the U.S. will soon try to destroy Iran’s “weapons industry” (translation: nuclear weapon production facilities).

Sounds great to me.

Dutch intel: US to strike Iran in coming weeks by JPOST.COM STAFF

The Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD, has called off an operation aimed at infiltrating and sabotaging Iran’s weapons industry due to an assessment that a US attack on the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program is imminent, according to a report in the country’s De Telegraaf newspaper on Friday.

The report claimed that the Dutch operation had been “extremely successful,” and had been stopped because the US military was planning to hit targets that were “connected with the Dutch espionage action.”

The impending air-strike on Iran was to be carried out by unmanned aircraft “within weeks,” the report claimed, quoting “well placed” sources.

The Jerusalem Post could not confirm the De Telegraaf report.

Bali Bombers Seek “Painless” Execution: Beheading

Some things are beyond belief.

Bali bombers seek ‘execution without pain’

Three militants awaiting execution for the 2002 Bali bombings plan to challenge the legality of death by firing squad, but it was unclear if the move would lead to a last-minute stay, their lawyer said Tuesday.

Imam Samudra, one of three militants sentenced to death over the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings.

Mahendradatta, who goes by a single name, said he would file a petition next week at the Constitutional Court arguing that convicts who go before a firing squad sometimes do not die immediately, causing unnecessary suffering.

“We’re seeking an execution without pain,” said the lawyer, who in the past has argued that his clients would prefer to be beheaded, which they say is more in line with Islamic teachings.

Yes, having your neck hacked with a knife is painless.
