To National security advisor: Don’t “tweak” terrorism, confront it!



imageCut White House national security advisor James Jones in as part of the Obama administration’s shock-a-day style of operation. Americans, says this retired 4-star Marine General, will feel “a certain shock” when they read an account being released later today of the missed clues that could have prevented the “alleged” Christmas Day bomber from ever boarding the plane.

“President Obama ‘is legitimately and correctly alarmed that things that were available, bits of information that were available, patterns of behavior that were available, were not acted on,’ Jones said in an interview Wednesday with USA TODAY. “That’s two strikes,” Obama’s top White House aide on defense and foreign policy issues said, referring to the foiled bombing of the Detroit-bound airliner and the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in November. In that case, too, officials failed to act when red flags were raised about an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hassan. He has been charged with killing 13 people. “Jones said Obama “certainly doesn’t want that third strike, and neither does anybody else.” How can you tell, Gen. Jones, when it took the president three days to check in on the foiled terrorist attack from his latest Hawaiian vacation? Jones answer to terrorism in the skies counts on remedies involving “tweaks” rather than the overhaul that followed the Sept. 11 attacks--for instance, hiring for intelligence agencies so analysts aren’t overwhelmed by their workload. “We know what happened, we know what didn’t happen, and we know how to fix it,” Jones told USA TODAY. As a one-time Marine, Jones would certainly know that it takes courage to face-off terrorists who ride about in planes with bombs in their undies. # with these terrorists doesn’t cut it. Bowing and scraping to their leaders will never stop them in their tracks so long as there’s another infidel still breathing. This is the course Jones was on a year ago last February in his remarks to the 45th Munich Conference on Security Policy: “Thank you for that wonderful tribute to Henry Kissinger yesterday. Congratulations. As the most recent National Security Advisor of the United States, I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger, who is also here. We have a chain of command in the National Security Council that exists today.” (Italics CFP’s). (Council on Foreign Relations, Feb. 8, 2009). In other words, Jones is a follower in the footsteps of One World Order forging Henry Kissinger and documents-stuffed-in-his socks Sandy Berger! Back in Munich, Jones was talking about ways “to better carry out the president’s priorities”. The National Security Council, he said, “must respond to the world the way it is and not as we wish it were”. “To achieve those goals we will be guided by several principle. As one of our great comedians in the United States, Groucho Marx, once said, “These are our principles, and if you don’t like them, we have others.” Tweaking and quoting comedians shouldn’t be in the same sentence as international terrorism. Nor will all tweaking available ever change the real meaning of the words ‘terrorism’ or ‘terrorist’. Contemporary writers on the subject of terrorism, including Northeast Intelligent Network founder and CFP columnist Doug Hagmann do not believe in the merits of tweaking: “To believe that restricting lavatory use and keeping blankets off the laps of grandmothers will make air travel safer is to believe in a myth that should be insulting to every law abiding air passenger,” Hagmann wrote in CFP on Jan. 5. “All passengers are not the problem, and not all passengers pose a threat to air travel. To make air travel safer, we must identify potential threats before they board an aircraft. To do so, we must break free from the bonds of political correctness and admit, without feelings of guilt or reservation, that the threat is originating from Islamic terrorists and those who facilitate them. “It is beyond the time that we understand that the consequences for our failures to admit who we are fighting will only result in more needless deaths of innocent men, women and children. We need to understand the level of infiltration that has been allowed to occur in all branches of our armed forces, intelligence agencies, and law enforcement under the guise of religious tolerance and political correctness. In many cases, our enemies are wearing our own uniforms.” Meanwhile, it is not the American people who lack the courage to deal with Islamic terrorists but their wanting leaders.
