First and
foremost I’d like to thank Dee for a dynamite, insightful article.
Judging by your responses I’m not the only one who thinks so. Dee will
return from time to time with more perspective from across the pond. We
have pointed out the horrors associated with the NHS (National Health
Service) and the hopelessness of the people trapped in socialism over
in Britain, which was once one of the proudest nations in the world on
several occasions. It takes the perspective of one who has had to LIVE
under such a regime to truly bring it home. Thanks again Dee.
President Barack HUSSEIN Obama was in absentia at any Christmas Eve
services in Hawaii, not that I give a rip whether he attends services
or not, but he IS the President of this JUDEO/CHRISTIAN nation and
should at least make an effort to show leadership in this area and set
an example for people of faith during these troubled times for our
nation. Or should it have been a mosque…. just wondering. Even Billy
Jeff did that much.
A pampered son of a wealthy Nigerian banker tried to murder 278 passengers aboard Delta flight 253 from Amsterdam.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab reportedly used a binary explosive device
which failed to detonate and only started a fire which was quickly
controlled. Fast thinking and reaction of passengers and crew in taking
down the would be bomber and putting out the fire were credited with
saving the aircraft. According to some reports the suspect had eighty
grams of explosive sewn into his underwear and the detonating device
taped to his leg, which was to have been set off by one of the binary
compounds housed in a syringe. The passengers and crew can thank poor
chemistry for their lives, as eighty grams of high explosive could
easily have breached the hull of the aircraft. Had the detonator gone
off instead of flaming out, chances are it would have brought the
aircraft down over US airspace as intended.
Police at Abdulmutallab's $2 million London flat.
Umar’s father, Umaru, reportedly contacted US authorities warning
them of his son’s radical views six months ago. One cannot help but
wonder why this man was not on a no-fly and terrorist watch list. He
had previously been turned down for a visa extension to return to
college in Britain, where he had attended school and was reported as an
indifferent student.
So by the grace of God and the sloppiness or ineptitude of the bomber, another in-flight catastrophe was averted.
With an Obama administration more interested in appeasement and
dealing with these international terrorist networks as some sort of
annoying legal problem, instead of the world wide war against the west
and Israel by militant Islam, we can expect much, much more of this
type of terrorist attempt. As lame appearing as it was it may only be a
diversion. From what, you say? No one knows, but one thing is for sure,
things are never as they appear with these people.
Obama’s approach is Carter and Clintonesque at best… and we SAW what
that got us. With his observed affinity for all things Muslim I just
don’t trust this President to do the right thing to combat the threat.
His pacification and appeasement can only lead to disastrous results
for us and possibly the entire world.
