More treason from the post-American President.
“Mattis: Obama Failed to Respond to Iran Bomb Plot on U.S. Soil Because of Nuclear Deal,” by Matt Margolis, PJ Media, September 5, 2019:
After the surprise resignation of Secretary of Defense James Mattis last December, Democrats were quick to politicize the news, and have certainly been hoping ever since that Mattis would provide them with new information they could use to attack Donald Trump. He does have a memoir coming out, Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead, but it looks like it’s Barack Obama and Joe Biden who get the bulk of the criticism.
Prior be being Secretary of Defense under Trump, Mattis served as commander of U.S. Central Command under Obama and Biden. Mattis had predicted that Iran would continue to provoke the United States. Mattis’s warning went ignored, and when Iran committed an act of war on American soil, he was not told about it, and the United States never responded to it.
The duty officer at his Tampa, Florida, headquarters on Oct. 11, 2011 told him that the attorney general and FBI director had held a press conference to announce the arrest of two Iranians who had planned a bomb attack on Cafe Milano, a high-end restaurant in Washington that was a favorite of the rich and famous, including Saudi Arabia’s ambassador, Adel al-Jubeir.
As Mattis writes, “Attorney General Eric Holder said the bombing plot was ‘directed and approved by elements of the Iranian government and, specifically, senior members of the Qods Force.’ The Qods were the Special Operations Force of the Revolutionary Guards, reporting to the top of the Iranian government.”
Many pundits questioned the administration’s assessment that the Iranian government was involved in the plan. Despite Iran’s long history of overseas assassination plots, some observers were skeptical that the theocratic regime would attempt such an audacious attack.
Mattis is certain, however: “I saw the intelligence: we had recorded Tehran’s approval of the operation.”
Mattis writes, “Had the bomb gone off, those in the restaurant and on the street would have been ripped apart, blood rushing down sewer drains. It would have been the worst attack on us since 9/11. I sensed that only Iran’s impression of America’s impotence could have led them to risk such an act within a couple of miles of the White House, Absent one fundamental mistake — the terrorists had engaged an undercover DEA agent in an attempt to smuggle the bomb — the Iranians would have pulled off this devastating attack. Had that bomb exploded, it would have changed history.”…

Obama was an appeaser, not a statesman.
Terry Gain says
Obama is a closet Muslim thug who got rich while advancing Islam. He was very successful.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain,
At the very least, Obama is a Islam apologist / Islamophile.
And he certainly acts like a Muslim…
barbaracvm1 says
Muslim first, communist second. Everything he does is to destroy anything that gets in the way. I wonder do the Muslims trust or for now, are they using him?
AP says
No doubt about it. A picture is worth a thousand words, I guess he is such a simpleton that he thinks that we don’t get his gesture. What kind of a President has to seal all of his records, birth certificate. All of this indicates that he is the phony we all know him as. The President who could not tell the truth, if he knew what it was. First lie, I’m a Christian.
Herb says
Obama was a Moslim not an American. he was planted in office to turn the Democrats into the largest Slave Market and world domination first stage.
Walter Sieruk says
Regarding the awfulness of Obama when he was president of the USA, some of it had been exposed by a former Revolutionary Guard of Iran who defected to America. For in his book TIME TO BETRAY its author, Reza Kahlili gives his first hand and testimony and observation when he had revealed to his readers, on page 335, that at first he was a bit naive about Obama for “I had high hopes that the Obama administration would be tougher on the Islamic government of Iran, especially given what they knew about the regime’s nuclear activities. However, his first overture to the mullahs disappointed me. He sent greetings for the Persian New Year in which he urged better relations between American and Iran. He then repeated this in letters to Ayatollah Khamenei. To me, this was a sad case of not learning from history. Once again American politicians refused to see that the mullahs were not men of reason, and that their animosity toward America was rooted in the interpretation of a prophecy that called for the annihilation of the West and all non-Muslims. I knew the regime would see Obama’s entreaties as assign of weakness, and that this would embolden them to take radical steps.”
Obama may accurately be seen as the personification of the twenty –first century phenomena known as the “Red/Green Alliance.”
Terry Gain says
Obama was enabled by the naïveté of the world.

Let’s hope America got electing a President warts and all ‘because of the color of his skin’ out of their system.
Walter Sieruk says
In the book written by the scholar on Islam and Islamic terrorism Jamie Glazov , which has the title of JIHADIST PSYCHOPATH on page 9, the reader is informed that “America’s suicidal disposition in the terror war reached a crisis level under Obama when American officials actually started seeking advice and direction from precisely those forces seeking to destroy the country …With Obama in the White House , therefore ,the enemy was in effect , advising Americans and formulating their policy on how to promote their cause.”
This is an absurdly of madness. This reveals the Obama was, as President, far worse than grossly incompetent, Obama was traitorous to both the American people a as well as to the United State of America. Obama was therefore an affront and disgrace to the office of Chief Executive in the White House
Therefore, the former President Obama in his Islamic subversion of America is not even limited to being a traitor to The USA but in his insidious he way and is dangerous to all the other nations of the West.
Walter Sieruk says
The foolishness ,folly and wickedness of Obama might cause all sensible Americans to wonder “Just how irresponsible, treacherous and even treasonous could that former US President Obama actually be ? Some of those Iranian who Obama allowed to become US citizens might be dangerous and deadly jihadist operatives of Iran. What’s more that so called “deal” with Iran is a sick joke at its best and a horrible hoax at its worst. This is a very strong reminder that during the summer month of August in the year of 2010 I had attended a lecture in a church about the subject of Islam. The guest speaker was a man who in times past was a Muslim and a Hezbollah member as well as an Iranian citizen. Now he’s Christian and an American citizen. After the lecture, during the question and answer part, he was asked “Is Obama a Muslim?” The speaker replied that “I don’t know if he is a Muslim but his deception is Islamic.” Then he added about Obama “Whenever he talks he sounds just like a Muslim.”
Moreover the guest speaker further said about Obama “He is going to hurt this country.” As just keyboarded above that lecture was hold in the year 2010 and since then Obama had ,indeed, hurt America by and through his words , actions , politics and polices . As explain in the above top main article of this site as one of Obama’s many evils.
Wellington says
Obama was a wretched President. Shortly before he left office I sent him a communication detailing why he was the worst President in American history. A few of the details were doubling of the national debt, co-sponsoring with Egypt UN Resolution 16/11 which would effectively criminalize criticism of religion—thus Obama here went DIRECTLY against the First Amendment provision of freedom of speech—, and weaponizing agencies or departments of the federal government like the IRS and the Justice Department to go after conservatives. The man also stoked racial resentment something fierce and, as so many know, was a rank apologist for Islam. He was kind to the cruel (e.g. Cuba and Iran) and cruel to the kind (e.g., Israel).
He did enormous harm to America. And now this from James Mattis. Though I can’t prove (yet) that he orchestrated the spying on Trump during the 2016 campaign, my gut tells me that said spying was authorized by the top, i.e., Obama.
Obama sucked as a President and did more harm to the American Republic than any other person in American history, President or non-President, American or non-American. Yes, it is my conviction that he is this bad.
Terry Gain says
It would be nice to see that communication with a real name on it.
Wellington says
?
gravenimage says
Terry, are you asking that Wellington reveal his given name here? Many–including Hugh Fitzgerald–use pen names here. Or did you mean something else?
somehistory says
that’s the way it seems to me, g.
In agreement with you, I add:
Not all of us have the means to pay for protection from the enemies who read here and would like to find some of us not as well protected as Mr. Spence, who has even been poisoned.
We can speak out by name when it’s necessary, but for making comments online, it’s safer not to.
Wellington says
Thank you both gravenimage and somehistory. The reason why I don’t reveal my real name here is for one reason only—my wife. Should she predecease me, which is unlikely because she is more than two decades younger than I am, I would thereafter reveal my real name here at JW because I don’t give a damn what Muslim loons might do to me but I do very much care what they might do to the person I have loved as I have loved no other and who is my favorite person of all time.
As for what Terry Gain implied, I think it is shameful. Unless TG thinks I am lying that I sent said communication to Obama (actually I sent several by one method of communication or another from 2009 onward and with my true name on all), then TG stooped lower than I had thought this person previously capable of.
somehistory says
Wellington,
I see no good reason for any of us to assist those who would kill us without a second’s hesitation by providing personal information they could use to identify us.
I have several daughters and one son, all of whom are precious to me, and I would do whatever is necessary and in my power to do to protect them. My son was shot at not too long ago, and the police never found the perp. I’m not going to make things even more dangerous for him by using my true name.
I don’t really understand how this could be asked of anyone here by one who claims to be against islam’s evil and moslims’ willingness to carry it out.
gravenimage says
Agreed, Somehistory and Wellington. I also use a pen name here out of concern for my family–especially since I draw Muhammed cartoons.
But I do regularly write to elected officials and other public figures–and yes, I do use my real name in those cases, as I’m sure Wellington did.
somehistory says
While at the helm, he was doing everything in his power to scuttle the ship. Even grabbing power he was not meant by Law to have., and using it to do as much damage as he was allowed by his henchmen in other branches and departments.
Given enough time, all of his evil actions well come to light.

Greetings:
Whenever I come across a photo of thankfully former President Obama displaying his digital affinity, I am reminded of one childhood evening dinner when I was doing similar to my Big Sister.
My father cured me of that propensity by intoning, “If your having trouble with that finger, I can fix it for you.”

Mattis: Obama didn’t respond to Iran jihad bomb plot on US soil because of nuclear deal
……………………
Well, this is *just terrifying*. It is also–even for Obama–just shocking.
somehistory says
The snake in the chicken coop making it possible for the other snakes in the pit to get their fangs on the wish bones. Nasty, demonic creature, son of satan the evil serpent.
Kepha says
Were the two Iranians arrested conclusively linked to the Iranian regime, or were they a couple of hotheads trying to impress the world on their own? If the latter, it was not an act of war. If the former, it most certainly was–and I write as someone who sees war as a very, very, unavoidably horrible, last resort. I intend to read Mattis’ book and see what comes out. As for Reza Kahlili, I will probably read his book as well–but my short and inglorious diplomatic career made me a bit suspicious of defectors (with rare exceptions). Very often, they run because of some very serious moral failing (booze, drugs, adultery–and there are parts of the world where it is still considered shameful).
As for Obama,the one thing good I can say about his maladministration is that Obama is fundamentally a lazy person. I recall his eight years as a time of encouraging lawfare against whoever didn’t want to celebrate organized perversion and efforts to get religious organizations to pay for abortions; Wellington nailed it when he noted that the O was kind to the cruel and cruel to the kind. His post-presidency, with its multi-million third and fourth homes after a political career of castigating the rich is about as revealing as anything.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
More treason from the post-American President.
Small nit, but Obama’s non-action was sedition. To have been treason, America would have to been at war with Iran. And, as we all know, we are NOT at war with Islam. I believe Dubya said that, or maybe it was Barack Hussein.

Obama’s loyalty is to Muslims and not to the country that foolishly elected him president twice through the biggest act of deception ever perpetrated on any country anywhere in the world.
The effects of Obama’s betrayal will be felt painfully for many years to come.
OLD GUY says
Obama played right into the hands of the radical muslims, and did his best to sell us down the river. Someone needs to follow the money he all of a sudden seems to have come into. I’ll bet it can be traced to the Saudi/Muslim world.
Vrex says
Obama’s religion in Indonesia when he was going to school there was Islam, even his middle name says it all.
