Terrorist Attacks

President Obama is said to be trying to convince Congress to hold off on any investigation of the Ft Hood Terrorist Act until law enforcement and military officials have completed their investigation.

"On an eight-day Asia trip, Obama turned his attention home and pleaded for lawmakers to "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater." He said those who died on the nation's largest Army post deserve justice, not political stagecraft".  (Fox News)

Really?  He thinks lawmakers should "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into the political theater".

Then I ask why is the AG providing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others the same Constitutional rights as any American?  Why are they coming to America to stand trial when the US has a tried and proven history of Military Tribunals that are capable of trying these terrorists? Why is the President and the AG insisting on "political theater" for the 911 attacks?

He does not want a "political theater" for the stressed-out MAJ. Nidal Malik Hasan (TERRORIST) who murdered innocent victims at Ft Hood, but has no problem allowing "political theater" for the terrorist who killed thousands on 911.

The "political theater" Obama is trying to prevent with the Ft Hood massacre will only be multiplied a thousands times over with his plans to big these terrorists to New York.  This trial will be all about the Bush Administration, Cheney and  waterboarding and very little about these animals killing nearly 3,000 innocent Americans.  To me this sounds like "political stagecraft"  and not justice.

This is a sad day for America and an even sadder day for the families of the victims of 911.

Eight years ago today, America was brutally attacked by radical Muslims intent on trying to destroy our very existence. These terrorists did not attack us for anything we did, but for who we are and what we stand for – freedom. Their motives were clear, their intentions deadly. Unfortunately, they were successful in killing thousands of innocent men, women and children, but they did not destroy our nation, they did not destroy the very freedom they despise.

We must remember this day as a turning point for America and work to ensure it does not happen again. I ask everyone to keep this day alive in their minds and harts. In your minds so we may learn from this and never let our guard down to the point of thinking it could never happen again. In our harts, so we remember the pain and suffering of so many people who were killed that day and for those who continue to die daily fighting for their freedom. God bless America!

Below is a partial list of thwarted terror attacks since 911.  Click on the link to see the full list by Joseph Abrams of Fox News.  I think our Government has done a good job since 911, protecting us, regardless of what the Dems and the media want us to believe.  I only hope the next President has the same determination to protect America and does not think he or she can talk to these idiots.
