POPSNeed an Ask and Tell Policy Regarding Jihadists
Also obvious now is the fact that political correctness has run so amok that a jackass jihadist in our armed forces can spew his anti-American babble, blog about killing us, set red flags off all over the psychological place, and no one holds him down and scrapes his frontal lobe with a cement trowel. Once again, going PC gets people killed. To heck with being PC with people who want us dead; our playing the nice guy with this goon’s right to be a murderous idiot got our beloved soldiers butchered. Allow me to go back to these little Saladins and their normative murderous targets, por favor. Who are the regular marks for the mighty jihadists? Let’s see … unarmed soldiers, people eating calzones at a Pizza Hut, buses full of little school children, and people flying coach to grandmother’s house. Pathetic. Truly ignoble and pathetic. It seems as if going head-to-head with an American badass is just too, too much for these jihadist jackanapes.

POPSThe Truth According To a Troofer: "America Had It Coming"
Traveling through the Middle East about six months after 9/11, I was struck by the number of Arabs, from Egypt to the Gulf, who simultaneously believed (a) the Mossad were behind the attacks and (b) it was a great victory for the Muslim world. Van Jones would seem to be an American variant of the same phenomenon: a man who believes 9/11 was (a) blowback for the actions of the US government's war machine and (b) an inside job by the US government's war machine. No wonder the left derides those boorish enough to bring this stuff up: Why, surely all sophisticated persons know these positions are little more than lifestyle accessories or fashion hemlines. One season, everyone on the catwalk is agreed 9/11 was blowback by Jihadists for Social Justice. The next, everyone is equally agreed that Bush called up the White House Steel Melting Czar and buried the whole thing under "miscellaneous" in the budget. by Mark Steyn http://corner.nationalreview.com/

POPSCocoon of Denial So the Obama administration bans the use of the word “terror” and at the same time, broadens the definition of “torture” so that it can investigation and ultimately prosecute CIA officers who worked to extract crucial information from terrorists (oops, sorry, oppressed Islamic freedom fighters). The evil Dick Cheney has the audacity to question the wisdom of this strategy and is castigated by Left-leaning media and the Whitehouse. But what if Cheney is right? That's the question Douglas MacKinnon of The Baltimore Sun asks when he writes: The health-care debate? Cash for clunkers? Rising unemployment? None of that will matter if we lose an American city to terrorism. An intelligence operative told me that if terrorists successfully detonate a nuclear weapon on our soil and kill and wound hundreds of thousands of Americans, "the thin veneer of civilization will be ripped from our nation in an instant, and we could very well descend into barbarism.

POPSThe War on Terror is Over, But the War on Mobs Has Just Begun Who are these angry mobs, hooligans, and civic vigiliantes? You can see them in action in this clip from Dallas, where one senior hooligan has the nerve to challenge an AARP representative by asking, “Do you work for us or do we work for you. Hope and change have arrived. How do you like it so far?

POPSSympathy For Devils Another episode in the “engagement” chronicles: “Since taking power nine years ago, Syrian strongman Bashar Assad has: turned his country into a safe haven and transit corridor for jihadists en route to Iraq; funneled sophisticated munitions to Hezbollah and probably Hamas; sought to build an illicit nuclear reactor with North Korean help; mostly failed to liberalize Syria’s economy and resisted liberalizing its politics; publicly declared that Israel would never ‘become a legitimate state even if the peace process is implemented’; and ruled while Syrians have been implicated by a U.N. investigator in the 2005 assassination of Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri. So, naturally, President Obama has made Syria a prime target for diplomacy as part of his new Axis of Engagement.”

POPSGitmo Detainees to Work as Wal-Mart Greeters The "Gitmo to Greet Mo'" program bypasses maximum-security federal penitentiaries located all over the United States and instead pays for jihadists' food and housing and provides them work. The thinking is that terrorists will not want to blow up America if they get to experience first-hand how nice and welcoming Americans are. However, this scenario will create a whole new set of terrorists: old ladies who lost their jobs to terrorists.

POPSFBI Is Probing A Columbus, Ohio Mosque . . . In connection with Pvt. William Long's murder. Law enforcement sources have received reports that Muhammad appears to have attended the mosque during a period from 2006 to 2007 when evidence indicates he resided in Columbus. It is unclear if he had links to the individuals already convicted. However, his possible links to the mosque are one promising avenue under investigation as the government attempts to reconstruct Muhammad's path to radicalization and to establish firmly whether he acted alone in the recruiting station shooting. The mosque, according to well informed sources, is a small house of worship that has regularly been frequented by foreigners with radical sympathies who, after their stops in Ohio, continued onward. The Imam of the mosque was not immediately available for comment. Columbus has been identified as the jumping off point for Somalis residing in the United States, including Somali Americans, to become radicalized and then head overseas to wage jihad.

POPSAnother "Alleged Plot": FBI Creates Then Arrests Terror Patsies How come the only terror plot arrests are those the FBI is directly involved in manufacturing? Because that's how they come about in truth-- Entrapment There was "no chance" the scheme could succeed because the FBI was completely involved and in control in setting up the entire operation! This is the pattern of the Sears Tower arrests too. This article goes on to tell about other "alleged plot" arrests how the "Islamic extremists" who are "suicidal" are pleading "not guilty" (jihadists?) and allege they were set up: The men had claimed they were set up by an unscrupulous informant. The pattern by the FBI in this story is very similar to their role in the first 1993 WTC bombing (here) . It is necessary to "terrorize" Americans in order to accomplish the radical agenda that began under Clinton, accelerated under Bush, and continues under Obama.

POPSObama's Promise And The 9/11 Families On Feb. 6, the president arrived in the Roosevelt Room to a standing though subdued ovation from some 40 family members. With a White House photographer in his wake, Mr. Obama greeted family members one at a time and offered brief remarks that were full of platitudes ("you are the conscience of the country," "my highest duty as president is to protect the American people," "we will seek swift and certain justice"). Glossing over the legal complexities, he gave a vague summary of the detainee cases and why he chose to suspend them, focusing mostly on the need for speed and finality. Many family members pressed for Guantanamo to remain open and for the military commissions to go forward. Mr. Obama allowed that the detention center had been unfairly confused with Abu Ghraib, but when asked why he wouldn't rehabilitate its image rather than shut it down, he silently shrugged. Next question.

POPS Sweetheart Deal For A Terrorist a New York City “day of terror” on which bombings would be carried out at the U.N. complex and the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, potentially killing thousands of people. The plot was thwarted. After being convicted at trial, Abdelgani was sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment. His co-defendants received in excess of 30 years—most of them got 35 years; two were sentenced to life imprisonment because they were complicit in murder plots for which a life sentence was then available. As the Obama DOJ’s National Security Division chief David Kris put it in Justice’s press release, “The facts admitted by al-Marri today demonstrate that he attended terrorist training camps, learned al-Qaeda tradecraft and was dispatched by the highest levels of al-Qaeda to carry out its terrorist objectives in America.” Those terrorist objectives included weapons of mass destruction attacks, particularly with cyanide.

POPSMust read letter to AG Holder - Releasing Detainees
Under the circumstances, I think the better course is to register my dissent, rather than be used as a prop. Moreover, in light of public statements by both you and the President, it is dismayingly clear that, under your leadership, the Justice Department takes the position that a lawyer who in good faith offers legal advice to government policy makers—like the government lawyers who offered good faith advice on interrogation policy—may be subject to investigation and prosecution for the content of that advice, in addition to empty but professionally damaging accusations of ethical misconduct. Given that stance, any prudent lawyer would have to hesitate before offering advice to the government. Beyond that, as elucidated in my writing (including my proposal for a new national security court, which I understand the Task Force has perused), I believe alien enemy combatants should be detained at Guantanamo Bay (or a facility like it) until the conclusion of hostilities.

POPSDetainees Cleared for Landing ... and You Get to Pay for It! and we've got an attorney general and a president who are simultaneously planning to embed in the United States jihadists who've gotten paramilitary training from al-Qaeda. Meantime, Republicans are squawking, understandably, over the administration's reckless determination to close Gitmo without a plan for what to do about the 240 enemy combatants still held there. I would suggest they focus their energy on the following: 1. What are the standards used by the administration to "clear" an enemy combatant for release? 2. What are the names of the 30 who have been cleared so far, and what was the basis for holding them as enemy combatants in the first place (e.g., the evidence that came out of their combatant status review tribunals)?

POPSWelcome To Holder at War ~ by Andrew McCarthy It was enacted because paramilitary courses factored into all those terrorist attacks from the 1990s that “we as a nation” missed the significance of. Holder hasn’t explained how turning trained jihadists loose on the infidels that they were training to kill is consistent with his new war mentality (a war in which, at his direction, we no longer call enemy combatants “enemy combatants”). Nor is it clear how this comports with his “responsibility . . . for the safety of this nation” and his obligation to enforce U.S. statutes. When he is not bravely lecturing Americans about their cowardice on race, our attorney general is running roughshod over his Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) — and shamefully politicizing his Solicitor General’s Office — in order to uphold patently unconstitutional legislation, the D.C. Voting Rights Act, that hasn’t even been enacted yet.

POPS Geert Wilders Visit Washington, Senate and Supporters The reception will feature a screening of Wilders’s courageous and hard-hitting film Fitna, which demonstrates how Islamic jihadists use the Qur’an and Islamic teachings to justify acts of violence and terrorism, and which has become the focus of efforts by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to restrict and criminalize free speech about the global jihad threat. A question-and-answer period will follow. Many luminaries of the counter jihad movement will be there. This is going to be so fabulous!

POPSCIA warns Obama that British terrorists are biggest threat.... Should we be hearing about this? I thought it was only the fear-mongering Cheney who was putting out warnings. But the Director General of MI5 admits that the "Security Service alone does not have the resources to maintain surveillance on all it's targets". Another calls Britain "a 'swamp' of jihadists." We even had VP Biden warning us that this President "will be tested". No wonder he doesn't want to spend much time in the White House...you hear a lot when you're there and buck stops with YOU!

POPSKissinger to Obama: Opportunity for New World Order Speaking of the Israel/Gaza "crisis", he says that Obama's task should be to "develop an overall strategy for America", and that "a new world order can be created... it's a great opportunity"! This demonstrates that the "war on terrorism" is really all about this global scheme, the same "new world order" that George H. W. Bush first mentioned publicly in a speech coincidentally on Sept. 11, 1990 (precisely 11 years to the day before 9/11) , Clinton, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, and many others have talked about publicly. It is their dominant theme. Note Kissinger says Israel is "the most important" issue, but refers to other potential tensions, and "jihadists". So both republican and democrat Presidents, now including Obama, are moving toward the same new world order , which the neoconservatives had termed "benevolent global hegemony" led by the U.S.. Kissinger is a CFR member, like Obama

POPSObama To Keep About 150 Bush Pentagon Appointees The Defense Department is the only agency considering such a request. All other political appointees in other branches had to submit their resignation letters by Friday. “I have received authorization from the president-elect’s transition team to extend a number of Department of Defense political appointees an invitation to voluntarily remain in their current positions until replaced,” Gates wrote in a letter to appointees on Monday. “This option will be available to all willing political appointees with the exception of those who are contacted individually and told otherwise.” About 100 of the 250 appointees have not been asked to stay on during the transition.

POPSRadical Imam: Somalis Leaving Minnesota For Jihad Shaba says he and his three teenage sons attended a program two months ago at Abubaker As-Saddique Islamic Center, where a former Somali warrior sat in a circle with other young people and delivered a passionate recitation of his experiences during the Somali civil war. When the brainwashing is done and the teachers are confident students will do anything asked of them, the teachers give them tazkia, or clearance, to get more specialized training in the United States or abroad, Shaba says. "The people who trained us encouraged us to not get married, to sever our ties with our families, so that when the mission comes we won't worry about family." Shaba says similar activities occur at Minnesota Da'wah Institute in St. Paul, another mosque. Sheik Mahamud Hassan, the institute's imam, says nothing like that is happening as his mosque. "It's liars," he says. "I'm not missing any members."

POPSWhy Does Khalid Sheikh Mohammad Want To Be Executed? What we don’t yet seem to grasp, even after all that’s gone on these last two decades, is that our politics and our law are of interest only to us. They matter nothing to jihadists. It’s a fatuous exercise in self-absorption to suppose otherwise — and a foolish one since it demonstrates for all to see that we still don’t get it. The delusion that we can change our enemies by changing ourselves is what makes the useful idiots useful. KSM doesn’t see Bush or Obama. He sees an American president. He sees a symbol — the embodiment of a people and culture that are his mortal enemy. Back in 1994, when the Bojinka escapade was flushed out in the Philippines, investigators found that the jihadists were also planning an assassination of President Clinton. Thirteen years later, KSM explained to a military judge that he had mapped out “the assassination of several former American presidents, including President Carter.”
