I am waiting for the MSM to jump all over this one. Waiting and waiting…

Guess I better not hold my breath.

It appears that during an hearing of the House Appropriations subcommittee, Attorney General Eric Holder was very clear about the doubts he holds about ever being able to capture Osama bin Laden alive.
In a sometime heated exchange with lawmakers, Holder told them that

“The possibility of capturing him alive is infinitesimal. He will be killed by us, or he will be killed by his own people so that he is not captured by us”

Some of the Republicans on the subcommittee were insistent in their questioning regarding Holder’s demonstrated tendency of wanting to try terrorist in civilian courts, accusations that Holder says “get my blood boiling”. Well Mr. Holder, your record is very eloquent.

Holder stated, as comparison, the case of Charles Manson, the crazy lunatic spending his life in prison for a mass murder in the 1960s.
So Eric Holder is comparing bin Laden, culpable of the death of 3,000 innocent people, openly at war with the United States, completely dedicated to the destruction of our Nation, with a drug-crazed poor excuse for oxygen user who got his kicks from killing few people just because.
And Charles Manson would be dead by now, if not for one of those Californian Liberal judges, Rose Bird. Instead, he keeps on going up for parole every year while he gets three squares a day at my expenses. And I have no doubt that at some point the parole board will either get tired of seeing his face again or actually feel he has paid his debt to society and set him free. I wonder if AG Holder would be apt for a similar solution for bin Laden.

Rep. John Culberson (R-TX) called Holder’s comparison “incredible”. And I could not agree more. What I am waiting for, though, is for the Media to attack the Obama administration for stating that bin Laden will not be captured alive, because after all, the failure of Bush to capture or kill the Saudi scum was amply and consistently used by Obama as a campaign point in 2008, while the Media augmented the point incessantly.

Waiting and waiting…

Our political, and it appears the judicial also, leadership is showing the dangerous tendency to take the fact that we are at war so lightly that it almost appears to be inviting more terrorist attacks.
There is a clear and proven tendency to downplay a war in favor of law enforcement approach, while conducting drone attacks in Pakistan aimed at elimination the need for Obama to have to worry about capturing terrorists. Those who are not blown to pieces in actions that were attacked viciously when the Bush Administration conducted them, are going to be treated as common criminals.

Why are the Obama regime and all the related minions so bent on making America more vulnerable? My opinion is that Obama wins regardless.

If a terror attacks does not occur, and I am specifically speaking of an attack the magnitude of which would be comparable or worst than the ones on September 11, Obama and Co. will use the absence of it as a victory for the Progressive ideology of the Left.
Cajole up to the terrorists and avoid attacks. The small type of attacks, like the one that failed on Christmas Day 2009, will really not be considered much of anything as they will be accepted as just the “cost of doing business”. Obama wins.

If a major terror attack does happen, and the American people will be witnessing a very large number of civilian casualties, when large number of American people will be directly affected by such attack in one way or another, Obama will leverage upon the act to accomplish in one swift blow what he is trying to accomplish piece meal today and that is to suspend the US Constitution.
A National crisis similar or worst than September 11 would be a perfect opportunity, a crisis not to let go to waste, for consolidating his power grab by eliminating the document he so deeply hates.
In such eventuality, the American people would deem patriotic to follow the leadership. Those sounding an alarmist dissent would be considered anti-American and quickly disposed of. In the name of National Security, the American people would maybe be willing to sacrifice personal liberties. Obama wins.

But I am still waiting for the Media to address the fact that Holder, which really means Obama, is convinced that Osama bin Laden will never be caught alive after it had been such a inspiring campaign promise. Still waiting…

Just my thoughts.
