Let’s see, Barack, how are you doing on terror so far?

You certainly haven’t earned yourself a B+.

Did anyone read or hear about the 2 Gitmo Terrorists, or as the White House calls them- “detainees”- who were released to their home country the other day?

No? Shocking. The mainstream media doesn’t want to report controversial news, only news that pleases the Obama administration. They know that in the wake of the “Underpants Bomber” debacle, releasing two more terrorists would be controversial, at best.

But Obama did it anyway; he couldn’t pass up the opportunity to give the terrorists a “fair” shake.

The two released detainees are Hasan Zemiri and Adil Hadi al-Jazairi Bin Hamlili. They were given back to their own Algerian government to be freed.

Beautiful.

Hey, I wonder if we’ll be smart enough to put THEM on the terror watch list? How about the “No Fly” list- think they’ll get on that one?

Oh, don’t worry about the safety of America-the Justice Department released this comforting statement: “The United States coordinated with the government of Algeria to ensure the transfers took place under appropriate security measures.”

Whew.

Call me stupid, but I was under the impression that the problem has never been the security of the transfer of detainees, it has always been what happens to these men after they’ve been released. Upwards of 20% of these men- and these are just the ones we know of- rejoin militant organizations and plan more terror, most of which is focused toward Americans.

In fact, two of the terrorists who helped the Underpants Bomber with his foiled plot had both spent time in Gitmo and are now coordinating terror efforts in Yemen. They had also made a pit stop for “rehabilitation” in Saudi Arabia- a ridiculous program that claims to change the spirit of these terrorists by giving them crayons and watercolors with which to express their anger and emotions on paper.

Strangely, it didn’t work.

Maybe if they had tried artist’s chalk and some play doh…

In total, 120 Saudi detainees have been released from Gitmo. One group, Batch 10, included 14 detainees who were flown home to Saudi Arabia just over two years ago. Of the 14 radicals in Batch 10, 5 of them completed the rehab and then fled to Yemen, where they formed a new terrorist group (AQAP).

And just a year ago, two other terrorists who had been held in Gitmo for seven years were released to Algeria where they were quickly acquitted by Algerian courts and allowed to go free. Interestingly enough, both claimed that they had been “brutally tortured” while at Gitmo.

I guess they consider hearing a little Willy Nelson music to be torturous. Or maybe “brutal torture” means that they only received three square meals a day, along with doctor and dental care. Maybe they felt it was “torturous” that they didn’t receive trophies when their makeshift, terror-filled soccer team won the Gitmo playoffs.

In May of 2009, a “deal” was struck with the Algerian government which says that any Gitmo detainees we send back to them “cannot be arrested or tortured” by their government. According to Farouq Qusantini, a human rights group: ” Algerian detainees have the right to choose where they want to go, and in case they choose Algeria, the authorities pledges not to arrest or try them “

THEY have the right to choose where they want to go?

Yes, you heard that right. One Algerian terrorist, Lakhdar Boumediene, was released from Gitmo last year and requested that he be sent to France.

I guess he heard that Paris was a great place to visit.

He must like croissants.

Let’s see, besides the attempted attack by the Underpants Bomber, we’ve also watched a Muslim man, Malik Nidal Hassan, kill 14 people on a US military base. It seems that despite the big, red flags which surrounded this terrorist, no one wanted to report him to the authorities because they were afraid of being called “Islamophobic.” Even our president can’t get himself to connect the dots between Islam and terror.

In his mind, little, old white ladies are just as likely to blow up airplanes as Muslims from Yemen who are here without passports.

Political correctness has run amok.

And the most impressive thing that Obama has done in regards to the Gitmo terrorists has been to announce that many of them will receive American rights and civilian trials to be held in New York City.

How civilized of him.

It seems the cost to the city of $200 Million per year to do this doesn’t faze him. It seems that the desires of the victims’ families doesn’t faze him. It seems that the outcry from Americans everywhere doesn’t faze him.

Barack Hussein Obama appears to be a man who isn’t fazed by the ideology of anyone who has common sense.

You see, he’s a radical, and radicals don’t often change their stripes.

Now ABC has come out with a new terror warning. They claim to have intel pointing to evidence that Yemeni women have been recruited to become suicide bombers. More disconcerting is the fact that these women have no known “footprint” of previous terror, thereby making it easier for them to gain access to our country.

Awesome.

Listen folks, it’s a matter of time before the policies of this administration lead us to another major terrorist nightmare. If the government really wants to keep us safe, they have no choice but to throw political correctness out the window. They need to rethink their policy on civilian trials and Miranda rights for terrorists. They need to listen to common sense.

Either that or they’d better start handing out crayons and watercolor paints to everyone in America….

We need to get rid of our anger somehow.
