While Mr. Obama's speeches and trip to the Middle East were warmly received and his "reach" to the Islamic world was positive it does not eliminate any threats to the United States.
Shortly after 9/11, Mr. George Bush sent representatives to all Muslim countries with the message"terrorism is not just America's problem--it is your problem" Moreover, Bush's emissaries bluntly told Arab leaders that "they should do something about it". The message got through. Libya banned certain groups and even opened a dialog with the USA. Libya even shipped scores of containers to the USA regarding Libya's nuclear research and relationships with Pakistan, China and North Korea. CIA analysts are still reviewing these materials in Oak Ridge , Tennessee. Egypt, Saudi Arabia (where 17 of the 9/11 hijackers came from), Indonesia, Malaysia, Yemen and others all got the message. They started cracking down on radical and terrorists in their country. The Bush Administration started to squeeze Sudan and Somalia and other African nations harboring terrorists. We have not been attacked since 9/1 and the CIA and military as well as the FBI and NSA have intercepted several planned attacks and stopped these attacks!
Bush was tough on terrorists and that's what needs to be done.
What Mr. Obama may not realize is that there are many new no-named terrorist groups working very hard to obtain nuclear weapons, biological weapons and chemical weapons.These groups operate out of Latin America-Venezuela is the major base as well as the triangle near Paraguay.
The Bush Administration caused many of the terrorists to go on the run and drove them out of many countries. CIA is managing and training many Arab foreign intelligence services and monitoring terrorist groups in a number of countries.
Its ludicrous for Obama and his leftist administration to talk about Guantanamo, Abu Grave and interrogations when terrorist are activiley seeking weapons of mass destruction and trying to deploy them in an American city.
The journalist Seymour Hersh has also accused the Bush Administration of orchestrating assassinations of terrorists in Africa.Hersh claims CIA officers and militray arrangeded accidents of terrorists and aslo used the host countries military to assassinate terrorists. Many suspected terrorists have had a variety of "accidents" including drownings, auto accidents, electrocutions and "suicides". What Hersh does not mention is that CIA has lost more men and women killed since 2001 to today compared to the years 1948 to 2001.
Some of Obams' plans to reach out and understand the Islamic world are positive but he should never forget that Mr Bin Laden has inspired thousands of Muslims to jihad and hate America and Israel.Moreover, the root cause of terrorism is not America it is the culture of Islam that treats women as livestock,brutalizes young children in the madras schools and denies the younf Muslims opportunities for education. Millions of young Muslim boys read the Koran from mroning to night with littl;e exposure to mathematics, history, romansce, vacations, education, and freedom.Lets see some movement on the part of Islamic countries Mr. Obama before you bend over backwards for the Islamic world.
