USA Voting Will Close In:
By Emanuel A. Winston, Middle East Analyst & Commentator
Many think that the Obamas are Muslim sympathizers who cannot be trusted with the safety of the American nation when dealing with Muslim Islamist/Terrorists.
Now, instead of trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in military court, the known, self-confessed organizer and planner of 9/11/01 in collaboration with Osama Bin Laden, is being transferred to New York City for a civilian criminal trial. This show trial is expected to take at least two years or more - with the possibility of release due to laws supposedly reserved for U.S. citizens.
In the earliest days after his capture he asked to be tried in New York. He wanted to be tried and sentenced to death, making him a "Shahid" (martyr for Islam). But, before execution, he wanted a huge public platform to advance the cause of Islam. His goal was to urge more Muslim world-wide, especially American Muslims, to adopt "Jihad" (holy war for Islam). Now Obama/Holder have given him the platform to extend his Terrorist mission.
Relatives of the 3000 dead victims of KSM are furious with Obama and Holder. This was a dumb, if not biased, political decision by a President who claims to be a Christian but, was raised and trained as a Muslim. One never leaves Islam.
Representative Pete King of New York made the point that, where Sheikh Khalid Mohammed will be held in a lower Manhattan jail which is a block from Ground Zero, the Twin Towers, and a host of other high profile targets, inviting more Terrorist attacks in the name of Islam and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
Should there be such an attack based on Obama and Holder's decision to provide a safety net for Terrorists within American civilian law, Obama should be driven out of office by the Congress with Holder fired.
Never has America been so deeply cursed by a President and his ideological Leftist cronies. Even Jimmy Carter did not display the ineptness of Obama - although he came close.
The pain Obama and Holder has caused to the survivors and families of 9/11 as well as the entire nation is unforgivable. You can tell how bad it is when the ultra-Left Liberal ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) cheers the decision to use American laws designed for American civilians and transfers these rights to foreign Muslim Terrorists to the American Justice system.
Apparently, if Osama Bin Laden is caught, Obama would give him the privilege of also being tried as an American citizen and given all the protection that affords such a defendant.
Regrettably, I do not believe the Obamas like America confirmed by Michelle Obama's original statement when she said "For the first time I am proud to be an American" While she was silenced by the Obama election committee, the family attitude regarding America was clearly an established agreement within that family. They seem to neither approve of America nor America's military - denials and ceremonies notwithstanding.
What could have been an efficient, safe trial under military jurisdiction, with military secrets protected, far from exposure to risk of Terrorist attacks or rescue is now converted into a show trial, a circus of Media and controversy and danger that will benefit only the masterminds and 'community organizers' of 9/11.
Obama wishes to trot out his now well-known apologetic policy so the world will admire his presumed fairness doctrine and outreach to Islam - including the anti-American Islamic countries. But, Obama has shown no fairness to the 3000 dead nor to those left behind. This clearly is a President who wishes to jut out his chin in his now infamous pose of arrogance and be applauded by nations who do not admire America. Til now America's enemies have mostly let America live in peace because they were afraid of America's strength of arms, strength of purpose in freedom and dignity for all whom America protects.
Obama was given an unearned Nobel Prize for Peace by a radical Leftist Nobel Committee who thought that the Grandfather of Terror, Yassir Arafat deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. Obama now wants to earn that false Leftist political prize so the nations will applaud America's descent into a Third World nation.
For Obama and Holder to re-ignite New York as a target of opportunity for Muslim Terrorists, they should be driven out of office. Clearly, Obama ought to be impeached with Holder judged as complicit in an egregious miscarriage of Justice against all Americans.
If the five 9/11 co-conspirators who pleaded guilty, are given opportunities to further encourage "sleeper Terrorist cells", then the Obama-Holder conspiracy will have joined their efforts to publicize Muslim requirements to commit Terror in the name of Allah.
This duo, in their doctrine of false fairness, don't even deserve their office but, rather to be prosecuted themselves for endangering all Americans and cruelly hurting the direct victims of the Terror which Islam unleashed in America's Muslim Pearl Harbor.
They are not worthy of their offices and they have shamed the American nation.
But, let us look at the likely underlying selfish and self-serving political motives to eliminate a military trial in favor of transferring the confessed murderers to a civilian court blocks from where they perpetrated their heinous Terror.
Obama and his obedient servant, Holder, knew that a military trial would be over comparatively quickly since the defendants had already confessed to their roles in the 9/11 planning. These confessions were heard in open hearings, in addition to being questioned in private. But, if they are transferred to a civilian court, experts in law have been estimating the time of such trials would be a minimum of two years, five years and a few have estimated a decade (10 years) of dragging the nation and the victims' families through more Hell.
Clearly, Obama and Holder knew this and chose the lengthy civilian trial so whatever happened in terms of judgement and sentencing (if any) would occur only AFTER the campaign to re-elect Obama for his second term was over. In politics, timing is everything! This calculated timing also bypasses mid-term elections November 2010 in which many Democrats are expected to lose office. As Obama's ratings plummet, his coat-tails shrink because the voters are disgusted with the "Change" he brought.
Most of the American people wanted swift justice in what should be an open-and-shut case. But, Holder (on Obama's orders) did NOT want a death sentence to be declared within the year in a military court. Playing for time in the hope that this blunder of his decision to close Gitmo would fade away and the impact on the victims' and the nation of transferring hundreds of imprisoned Terrorists to places in America, including the 9/11 Terrorists will evaporate before elections.
Be assured, the Chicago politicians, including Obama, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod were burning the midnight oil to minimize the negative effects of a swift trial. Wasn't it Rahm who said something like: "Take advantage of every crisis" ? Bringing Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the others here to America for a show trial would normally be considered a stupid, political move - unless an early trial and judgement in a military court would be considered politically worse for Obama and the Democrats.
Obama and Holder knew that, under American (civilian) law, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the other four could be freed on a technicality - namely that damning evidence was gained under duress. Additionally, Obama/Holder knew that state secrets on Intelligence gathered on the battlefield and from Gitmo itself, would have to be disclosed in open court - exposing American methodology to current and future Terrorists, putting the entire nation at risk - again.
I believe this is a political scam that will hang around Obama's neck like a smelly albatross - as the saying goes. But, then again, such crass manipulation works for native African Chieftains, like Mugabe of Zimbabwe, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, 'et al' - so, why can't it work here in America for Chieftain Obama and his spear carriers - the Chicago manipulators? We don't expect elected or appointed Government officials to adopt roles equal to moles who sell out the nation they ostensibly work for.
Besides, if you were a Chicago politician, a stretched-out trial fits Rahm Emanuel 's doctrine wherein every crisis is an opportunity. In this case, Obama can give lengthy orations about how, what is being done demonstrates his fairness as our messiah just arrived to set things straight.
I wonder how many glorious speeches Obama will make during the coming years of the trial(s) and how the Leftist Media will, thereby, give him free air time as it was - "because it's news - not a political ad"
For Obama, his Chicago thugs and his 35 or 45 Leftist Czars and Czarinas, this is the grand opportunity to trumpet his Leftist doctrine of Fairness all through the years of trial. They relish the opportunity to castigate America for squeezing the truth out of Muslim Terrorists for the 9/11 Massacres and all the other Muslim Terrorist attacks - wherever they gathered and executed their diabolical bloody schemes toward their ultimate goal: a Global Caliphate for Islam.
In addition, Obama can continue to plead with the nations to "forgive us" for the aid and the thousands of American soldiers killed on the battlefield on behalf of Global Security. This was the grand opportunity to plead for forgiveness for the many times Americans have been called upon to rescue these other countries who so easily caved in to conquering enemies. How they hated America for the Marshal Plan and all the free aid to re-build their economies - through to the present.
Look at the Leftist subversives Barack Hussein Obama has chosen as his advisors and know that they are only a minor reflection of his ideology: "Spread the wealth"..."Bow down to Islam"..."Reach out to violent Muslim countries"..."Weaken America's connection and support of stalwart allies"......
And so America must endure endless, needless trials for several years with Muslim Sleeper agents using every moment to launch more Terror.
