Was the Fruit of the Loon Bomber Trained by Gitmo Honor Graduate?

The Fruit of the Loon Bomber’s failed attempt to explode an airliner with nearly 300 innocent souls aboard--including men, women, babies, Christians, Muslims, and Jews alike--causes us to revisit the wisdom of Obama’s “Adopt a Jihadist" Program. Now there is good cause to question whether the President’s burning desire to close Gitmo, release dangerous terrorists to other countries, and, in some cases, bring them here to stand trial, played a role in the Fruit of the Loon Bomber’s plot.

It seems that Ulmar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23 year old Nigerian who burned his genitals for Allah, disappeared for several months in Yemen--which has been the base for several terror bombings in the past decade. Curiously, the Yemeni branch of al-Qaeda, the group which prides itself on killing innocent, defenseless people--whether they be Muslim or non-Muslim--was headed by Said Ali al-Shihiri, an Honor Graduate of Obama’s own Adopt a Jihadist Program. Yes, al-Shihiri, who was released from Gitmo, and “rehabilitated” in Saudi Arabia (our “ally” in the War on Terror), returned to Yemen to head al-Qaeda in that country. Owing to the naiveté of the Obama Administration, [which believes that if we bow to kings, apologize to the world, afford terrorists the rights of U.S. citizens, release dangerous men, prosecute our own military and intelligence officers, and close Gitmo, the world will love us], al-Qaeda had a new chief in Yemen--compliments of the Obama Administration. One day al-Shihiri was attacking and killing American sons and daughters from bases in Pakistan; the next he was given a six-year vacation in Guantanamo, and now--thanks to the Adopt a Jihadist Program--he has his own terror organization in Yemen. (That is, if he has not been recently killed by airstrikes). Is it a stretch to believe that the Fruit of the Loon Bomber was schooled by, and received orders from the head of al-Qaeda in Yemen? Nothing in Yemen happened without the blessing and the guidance of al-Shihiri--himself a master at killing, bombing, and destroying in the name of Allah. And the Fruit of the Loon Bomber spent several months there honing his skills--such as they were. Thanks to the President’s misguided zeal to close Guantanamo and release dangerous men like al-Shihiri into the world so they can train others to murder innocent people who want simply to live in peace, we have the Fruit of the Loon Bomber--and, inevitably, others like him. Only the incompetence of the bomber stood between life and death for the innocent people aboard Flight 253 on Christmas Day. Thank God for his incompetence. The next terrorist trained by an Obama Guantanamo graduate, may not be. Unanswered, though, this question: If you plan to meet 72 virgins in Paradise, why do you blow off your private parts?
