Israel Matzav: What Obama doesn't get about the War on Terror

What Obama doesn't get about the War on Terror

Charles Krauthammer nails the problem with the Obumbler's reaction to Northwest/Delta flight 253.

The reason the country is uneasy about the Obama administration's response to this attack is a distinct sense of not just incompetence but incomprehension. From the very beginning, President Obama has relentlessly tried to play down and deny the nature of the terrorist threat we continue to face. Napolitano renames terrorism "man-caused disasters." Obama goes abroad and pledges to cleanse America of its post-9/11 counterterrorist sins. Hence, Guantanamo will close, CIA interrogators will face a special prosecutor, and Khalid Sheik Mohammed will bask in a civilian trial in New York -- a trifecta of political correctness and image management.

And just to make sure even the dimmest understand, Obama banishes the term "war on terror." It's over -- that is, if it ever existed.

Obama may have declared the war over. Unfortunately, al-Qaeda has not. Which gives new meaning to the term "asymmetric warfare."

Read it all.

Is America going to be around in 2012? Unless someone finds a way to neutralize the moron in the White House, I'm beginning to have my doubts that America as we know it will survive for another two and a half years. No joke. He just doesn't get it.
