Spencer: Obama has the jihadis in stitches

An interview with Newsmax.

"Expert: Obama's Fort Hood Terrorism Denial Dangerous," by John Rossomando in Newsmax, November 30:

President Barack Obama's failure to condemn Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's murderous rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, as a terrorist attack emboldens radical Muslims bent on attacking the United States, a noted author on the jihadist movement tells Newsmax.

Robert Spencer said he does not believe Hasan's actions in killing 13 and wounding 30 were those of a crazed lone gunman but are connected to a larger effort of Islamic terrorists to create havoc around the country.

"It's part of the larger wave of attacks that we have seen foiled recently in New York City; Denver, Colorado; Springfield, Illinois; Dallas; North Carolina; there have been others as well," Spencer told Newsmax.TV's Kathleen Walter. "All of these seem to be large-scale plans to create havoc in the name of Islam, and it seems to indicate there has been some decision perhaps in the obvious manifest weakness and indifference of the Obama administration toward the jihad threat."

Hasan's actions leading up to the Fort Hood massacre seem to confirm Spencer's suspicions that the former Army psychiatrist did not act without any connection to Islamic terror groups. He contacted a radical imam with terror sympathies and al-Qaida operatives, which Spencer says makes it clear that he wanted to align himself with terrorists.

"Whether he himself was successful or not indicates that a network exists and that it still is waging war against the United States," Spencer said. "One thing we can be certain of is that Nidal Hasan's attack will not be the last."

The president's failure to condemn the massacre as an act of Islamic terrorism makes the United States a global laughingstock among jihadists, said Spencer, who has written two books on Islam.

"I think they view him as weak, as someone who is intent on bringing about some sort of negotiations between the United States and Iran," Spencer said. "It shows in particular that he is willing to bend over backwards to deny and ignore reality.

"He's so intent, as he has said so many times, about building bridges of mutual respect with the Islamic world, and he's intent on showing that respect on the American side no matter how much disrespect he gets in return from the Islamic side."...

Two Books?

That must be out of context, or somthing like that.

You deserve more credit Robert, and it is going to happen for you, no stoping the truth when people are seeking it.

A good interview.

It seems our president is up on fundamental understandings and definitions far better than Mr. Spencer is. The standard understanding of terrorism is politically motivated violence against non-combatants.

Clearly the Fort Hood attack was launched against a military target by definition. And political motivation does not appear to have been definitively established yet.

Wrong, smart-ass.

The FBI defines terrorism as: The unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a Government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.


There is nothing in the definition suggesting that, if the target is military, it's not terrorism.

Don't be distracted or sidetracked!
Here's what is important.

OBAMA DECLARES JIHAD ON CHARLIE BROWN, SNOOPY, AND THE PEANUTS GANG!

Obama and his advisers (er master plumbers--leak? What leak?) have decided to schedule the Afghanistan nationally televised address directly opposite the annual kickoff of the Christmas season, the airing of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

With this move Obama has removed all doubt that he indeed is a Closet Muslim and could not have been born in the United States. What true patriotic American could wage jihad on Christmas, Children, and the beloved American iconic Peanuts characters in their message of peace, goodwill to all. All this to announce his err, carefully considered year long decision to send 30,000 (3/4s of the requested amount) troops to Afghanistan in about his millionth televised press conflagration. (Poll, what poll, dither, what dither?)

As Lucy would say....
ARRGGGGGHHHH! BARRACK, YOU'RE A BLOCKHEAD!!!

Merry Christmas to all from the Reaper!

http://blogs.mcall.com/capitol_ideas/2009/11/the.html

Update: Like Coptic Christians in the Middle East, Charlie Brown has had to relocate to another day and time. I wonder if they had to leave behind their possessions including their Christmas tree.

Tell Lucy and Peppermint Patty to put on their Burkas! Grab my AK-47 for the news crew reaction shot! Allllllaaaaahhhh Akkkkbbbbaaaaaarrrrrr!

Undaunted,

The State Department definition, and common understandings, state otherwise. This 'FBI' definition makes little sense as it would seem to consign any number of forms of military warfare, or even violators of ad bellum considerations of the Just War Tradition, while being adherents to proper in bello considerations of warfare conduct, to be intrinsically terroristic. The term becomes essentially meaningless.

ALL JIHAD WATCH READERS SHOULD BE ADVISED OF THE HOMELAND SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE FOLLOWING THREATS:::

Elves have started to fashion ICD's (Improvised Candycane Devices) for use in a devastating Christmas Eve attack. It is feared that the Green and Red Sect of Santaism will unleash its most advanced technological weapon, an unstoppable force, that can silently penetrate any building no matter how secure. It is rumored that Elves have also developed noiseless flying devices to facilitate their attacks, capable of extraordinary speed, but that can hover and land on any structure.

Security personnel have observed a spike in Elfin chatter, intelligence has been secured from controversial domestic surveillance confirms plans for Christmas Eve attacks are more than just rumor. Most troubling are the "Bad" lists that were secured from no knock searches of Santa safe houses. It is uncertain what these lists mean, but experts fear that the lists identify targets of attack.

Plans have been uncovered from searches of the ice caves in Mora Toy-a section of the Arctic, that suggests plans for widespread arson attacks on homes. Large socks with incendiary devices will be placed near potential sources of combustion, including fireplaces and wood stoves.

Other plans outlined attacks on shopping malls. Reports have been coming in from around the nation, indicating that identically disguised elves have set up bases of operations in shopping centers across the nation. More troubling are the lines of converts coming to worship or curry favor from the Elves. Questions have been raised if the H1N1 flu vaccine, primarily administer to children, may be contaminated with mind control substances. Rumors have surfaced that converts are exchanging lists of potential targets and other domestic intelligence for ICD's. The most fervent converts are very young, however it appears that adults have been enabling the Elfin plot and have engaged in cover up activities in order to shield the main attack on Christmas Eve.

Unnamed sources indicate that there is even a more sinister aspect to these elfin plots. The Elves have developed secret monitoring technologies to allow them to "see" anything, anywhere, anytime. Undercover operatives have penetrated local cells, and have observed members chanting sacred verses. These verses indicate that Santa and his elfin army can, "See you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good..." The verse also contains threats, "... so be good for goodness sake." Administration insiders have expressed concerns that domestic security and even nuclear weapon security may have been compromised.

Merry Christmas to all
The Reaper

Nidal Hasan was a moslem parasite. The tick sucked the life blood of America to further his own personal rewards while hating the host country he had attached himself too. All was fine with the tick as long as he wasn't called on to serve the country he pretended to be part of.

Undaunted stated things correctly and you stated a definition of terrorism which is foolishly abstract at best and just plain fucking inadequate at worst. Besides, take your blinders off and just use common sense for a change. Could any reasonable person come to the conclusion that what Nidal Hasan did last month at Ft. Hood wasn't an act of pure terror? Don't you get tired of being wrong?

"The term becomes essentially meaningless."

The term IS essentially meaningless, and is currently used, almost exclusively, as cover for religious violence committed by Muslims, all in the name of Islam, hence the "Allahu Akbar" shout at Hasan's moment of expected martyrdom.

That you are trying to differentiate Islamic jihad perpetrated by the 9/11 "hijackers", another useless term, as opposed to the Ft. Hood "shooter", because of the status of the victims, civilian versus military, is an exercise in futility here.

I'm with Wellington on this one.

If they shoot at you, they're a terrorist.

Pretty simple definition to me.

See "Changing Course: A New Direction For U.S. Relations With The Muslim World", 2nd printing, at www.USMuslimEngagement.org for clues about what wrongheadedness informs the Obamacrats' playbook for managing relations with Muslims.

It quotes Obama's inaugural address in which he stated "To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect."

A guiding principle is that "It Is Possible for Americans and Muslims Around the World to Live Together Peacefully".

A section titled "The Drivers of Extremism" doesn't even hint that Islam is a despotic political cult.

Most relevantly for this blog entry is the recommendation that "Defense and military leaders should...Deepen military exercise, training, and exchange programs...with Muslim countries...". So if Obama condemns Maj. Hasan as a Muslim whose faith informed his attack, Obama tramples one of the policy recommendations important to the appeasers and indulgers of Muslims. In fact, how could he, a surfer of the political class, not a maverick, accuse Hasan of acting consistently with Islam without riding roughshod over the entirety of "Changing Course" and his allies' agenda of appeasing and indulging the Islamic gangsters?

Well, he can't, and he won't. So you're stuck with his wrongheadedness until 2013 at the soonest. Worse still, once he and his ilk are replaced with anti-islamists, the accumulated frustration with his wrongheaded policies will provoke an intemperate reaction, a lurch against appeasers and Muslims on many fronts, including the military one, rather than the gradual course correction he should start to make today by expelling Muslims from the Military one-by-one.

Obama is the best thing to happen to this country since Jimmy Carter.

Fairuzfan,
you seem to have conveniently "forgotten" the death of at least 1 civilian adult, 1 civilian fetus, and the attempted murder of more civilians who responded to his murderous, hate-filled, religiously-motivated rampage.

There can be no doubt that this worthless, cowardly bloodsucker would have continued killing until he either ran out of ammunition or ran out of targets. He targeted everyone he could put a red dot on, not just soldiers. As a paramedic who might have to respond to a similar incident some day, I have no doubt that the jihadis will be trying to put that red dot on my head or my chest as they pull the trigger.

I will fight you, Hasan, and all your ilk until my last breath.

Krazy Kafir-1 Fairuzan-0

By the way my little boy was upset to tears over the Obama
administration's unprovocked attack on Charlie Brown. I suppose that was a way to prevent the reading of scripture to our children an thereby not offend Muslims.

Said it before and ill say it again. If Obama gets a second term this will mark the end of the West as I have no doubt he will sell us all out to the Islamists, his brothers.

For fairuzfan:
I hope you are not really serious.
If you are, it would be a good idea to become educated before you speak in the future. You will be better able to offer comments on a site, such as this one.
Your understanding of terrorism, terrorists, and of Mr. Spencer's vast knowledge of those topics, gives the reader a feeling of pity for you.
