Obama has undermined the security of the U.S. His "love" letter to Putin offering to pull the missile defense shield at the expense of betraying our allies Poland and The Check Republic with whom we should be building stronger ties; his video-gram to Iran; his European Apology Tour; and Obama's release of secret CIA guidelines on interrogations and openness to prosecute the very people who were trying to protect Americans from further terrorist attacks solidified the inherent weakness of Obama to defend the U.S. The South American roast fest against the U.S. by Ortega; Chavez presenting Obama with a book blaming the U.S.; and Fidel Castro rebuffing Obama's conciliatory gesture are reactions to Obama's provocative weakness. However, the more ominous sign of the growing boldness of our enemies in response to Obama's naivety, weakness in identifying our enemies, and trashing American exceptional ism is the attack of the Somalia pirates on an American flagged vessel. More attacks are to come against the U.S. similar to pre-Bush years.
Before 9-11, U.S. and interests were consistently hit by terrorism: 1983 marine barracks in Beirut, 1988 TWA flight over Lockerbie, 1993 Twin Towers, 1998 African embassy bombings, January 2001 U.S. Cole bombing up to the 9-11-2001 attacks and not to mention the 2000 L.A.X attempt that was thwarted. Only during Bush's 8 years, did we see elimination of attacks against the U.S. except for the attacks against American soilders in Iraq when Bush brought the fight against the terrorists to Iraq!
Our enemies are emboldened by Obama's timidity to defend and articulate the goodness of the U.S., not the disclosure of torture using caterpillars. Don't be surprised to see more attacks against a variety of U.S. interests similar in style to the 1980s and 1990s that now appear to be a distant memory thanks to Bush.
