Quotes of the day

I like what Krauthammer said…I’m paraphrasing…People are worried about a backlash against muslims, but there has been none. The only backlash has come from muslims themselves towards Americans.

Exactly!!

And we may be about to find out just how vast and far reaching this “backlash” by the jihadist Hasan went:

(via instapundit)

Senior Official: More Hasan Ties to People Under Investigation by FBI
Alleged Shooter Had “Unexplained Connections” to Others Besides Jihadist Cleric Awlaki

A senior government official tells ABC News that investigators have found that alleged Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan had “more unexplained connections to people being tracked by the FBI” than just radical cleric Anwar al Awlaki. The official declined to name the individuals but Congressional sources said their names and countries of origin were likely to emerge soon.

I think it is more than obvious from the bold moves by the jihadist happening around the world and on our homeland that they see Obama as weak and are escalating their efforts.

Chicken hawk Obama better get on a war footing quick or the jihadist are going to run him over at the cost of American lives.

HondaV65,
.
Now you’re really scraping bottom for your viewpoint. If Bin Laden’s relatives had some info or connection with him, both of which were verified later, the mere suspicion of such at the time of wartime danger to the United States would not require any legalistic maneuverings. It’s ridiculous to think that adequate questioning of these people could have been done in a day. There was a serious breakdown here and all the members of the administration pointed fingers at each other about it.

The “Facts” you talk about so much don’t back up your rhetoric:

Some Saudis left the U.S. by charter flight on September 14, a day when commercial flights had resumed, but when ordinary charter planes were still grounded. When did the bin Ladens actually leave? Not until the next week, as the the 9/11 Commission staff report explains:

 Fearing reprisals against Saudi nationals, the Saudi government asked for help in getting some of its citizens out of the country….we have found that the request came to the attention of Richard Clarke and that each of the flights we have studied was investigated by the FBI and dealt with in a professional manner prior to its departure.
   No commercial planes, including chartered flights, were permitted to fly into, out of, or within the United States until September 13, 2001. After the airspace reopened, six chartered flights with 142 people, mostly Saudi Arabian nationals, departed from the United States between September 14 and 24. One flight, the so-called Bin Ladin flight, departed the United States on September 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Usama Bin Ladin. We have found no credible evidence that any chartered flights of Saudi Arabian nationals departed the United States before the reopening of national airspace.
   The Saudi flights were screened by law enforcement officials, primarily the FBI, to ensure that people on these flights did not pose a threat to national security, and that nobody of interest to the FBI with regard to the 9/11 investigation was allowed to leave the country. Thirty of the 142 people on these flights were interviewed by the FBI, including 22 of the 26 people (23 passengers and 3 private security guards) on the Bin Ladin flight. Many were asked detailed questions. None of the passengers stated that they had any recent contact with Usama Bin Ladin or knew anything about terrorist activity.
   The FBI checked a variety of databases for information on the Bin Ladin flight passengers and searched the aircraft. It is unclear whether the TIPOFF terrorist watchlist was checked. At our request, the Terrorist Screening Center has rechecked the names of individuals on the flight manifests of these six Saudi flights against the current TIPOFF watchlist. There are no matches.
   The FBI has concluded that nobody was allowed to depart on these six flights who the FBI wanted to interview in connection with the 9/11 attacks, or who the FBI later concluded had any involvement in those attacks. To date, we have uncovered no evidence to contradict this conclusion.
The final Commission Report confirms that Clarke was the highest-ranking official who made the decision to let the Saudis go, and that Clarke’s decision had no adverse effect on September 11 investigations. See pages 328-29 of the Report.

To say President Bush was weak on dealing with radical muslims and terrorist in General shows a major ignorance of the facts in the War on terror.

Baxter:

When delusional people are faced with evidence threatening their version of events, they tend to reject it out of hand or they call it a lie.

Which will Facts do I wonder?

Baxter Greene on November 11, 2009 at 12:28 AM

My God – am I actually arguing with a Liberal who’s saying that Bush was too “soft shoe” on terror? Man – you guys are good – because for eight years all I heard from you guys was how Bush was too “Cowboy” and refused to feel the Muslim pain.

Make up your minds dude.
