Cheney: Obama pretends we’re not at war

(Cheney to Politico) “As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of 9/11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

“He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core al Qaeda trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency – social transformation—the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war.”

Here are my remarks on my weekly BIBI report show:

"The 9-11 attacks learnt us, what Israel had suffered all these years was not a territorial conflict, not a fight between 2 sides , but a global fight over Freedom , a fight between fanatic radical Islam and the free world, a terror attack that makes no difference of race, faith, age and region is a intention of destroying our moral freedom.

as Jeff Jacoby writes in a article in the Boston Globe:
"Terrorism isn’t caused by poverty and ignorance. Abdulmutallab came from a wealthy and privileged family and had studied at one of Britain’s top universities. He wasn’t trying to kill hundreds of Americans out of socioeconomic despair. Like the 9/11 hijackers and countless other jihadists, Abdulmutallab was motivated by ideological and religious fanaticism. The teachings of militant Islam may seem monstrous to outsiders, but that is no reason to doubt that their adherents genuinely believe them or that by giving their lives for jihad they hope to change the world..."

"...Abdulmutallab’s attempted attack was “part of anything larger’’ - this even after he had acknowledged his ties to Al Qaeda. Of course Abdulmutallab is part of something larger: He is part of the global jihad - the relentless assault by Islamist radicals whose deadly serious goal is the submission of America and the West to Islamic law.."


Therefore we must always remember that we are at a continues war that didn't end yet, although some Leaders (Obama etc). try to avoid using the words "War on terror", the War against radical Islam is far from over, this is our challenge, freedom is at stake, and answering in a quiet weak voice after a incident that could have been prevented, is a sign of weakness, and does not add to the power of overcoming our enemies in protecting freedom ....".
