RSSLIHOP Mr. President?
J.J. Jackson | December 31, 2009
Oooooo … I wonder if the 9/11 Truthers are going to have a field day with President Obama like they did with the former President? Eh, probably not so much. I’ve talked to a lot of these kooks over the years since the 9/11 attacks and the vast majority of them are so liberal they literally drip with socialist tendencies and would love most of what President Obama has vowed to do. What drove the vast, vast, vast majority of them was not a desire for truth, because so much of what they espoused was easily disproved and the rest was disprovable though some rigorous math any high school graduate could do (or should be able to do), but rather a burning hatred of President G.W. Bush. Sure, there were some libertarians, those minority of this philosophy that are detached from reality so far that they see a threat to liberty in a leaf falling from a tree. But the liberal nuts were the ones driving the movement. So do not hold your breath for them to start taking on the current President.
But it sure would be an interesting accusation to make considering a report that the government had lots of intel on a Nigerian who was being prepped for an attack.
The U.S. government had intelligence from Yemen before Christmas that leaders of a branch of Al Qaeda there were talking about “a Nigerian” being prepared for a terrorist attack, the New York Times reported Tuesday.
A senior official told the Times that President Obama was told in a private meeting Tuesday while vacationing in Hawaii that the government had a variety of information in its possession before the failed bombing on a Detroit-bound flight last week that would have been a clear warning sign had it been shared among intelligence agencies.
If this story is true, it looks like we haven’t learned too much. The wall between agencies erected under President Clinton kept many of the dots from being connected prior to 9/11/01. Now we have what looks like that same failure cropping up once again not just with letting this nutjob Muslim jihadist board and airliner but, as you will recall, with Malik Nadal Hasan who went on his own Islamic inspired rampage not long ago on a military base.
For Hasan, there were many warning signs but no one took action. Many pieces of information were not shared with other people involved and he was just passed on through the system until he killed a bunch of soldiers in the name of his god. For Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the failed suicide bomber from the Chicago flight, we have reports that different agencies had been warned and that perhaps Umar was even being watched but no one put two and two together before he boarded a plane? Talk about letting terrorism happen!
At least when it came to President Bush you had reasons for why the Sept 11th attacks went off. You had Al Gore suing and Clinton administration officials refusing to hand over keys to government agencies to President Bush while we played a silly game in Florida of recounting ballots, changing rules, recounting ballots, changing rules, and so on trying desperately to find Al Gore enough votes to win the election. Something, I remind you, that never happened as much as the liberal moonbats decry the Supreme Court stepping in and telling Florida to follow its own laws instead of new standards put in place to generate a specific result. This all prevented the Bush administration from getting much of its own personnel in place and put them behind by upwards of three to six months. Then you had, as I previously mentioned, all the bureaucratic crap put in place by the Clinton administration which had to be unwound and which kept agencies from sharing info more easily. But all that was taken care of so what is the problem now?
LIHOP (let it happen on purpose) emerged among the truthers as the prominent theory among the Truthers drowing out the even more insane and unprovable made it happen on purpose (MIHOP) following 9/11. Basically, in a nut shell, the nuts themselves decided that President Bush let 9/11 happen. Take your pick of reasons why.
Let’s delve into the minds of a 9/11 Truther and play out what they should be saying today if they were honest.
Fade to black.
Bring up the stage lights.
President Obama, sitting in the Oval Office, watching his poll ratings plummet with many key pieces of his agenda stuck in Congress and disapproved of by the American people, needs a crisis. He saw how 9/11 helped his predecessor and how high his popularity was after America was attacked and thousands of civilians killed. He thinks that this is his way to popularity as well.
He had tried to boost his approval just a few weeks earlier by letting another terrorist run loose on a military base. That had not worked well at all and he figured that now he needed something bigger. After all, he thought, Americans hate the military just like he does. So a bunch of soldiers getting killed was probably not enough to rally America behind him.
Sitting on his desk is a report. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab has been identified by the CIA as preparing to blow up an American airliner headed for the United States. Reports are unclear, but it looks like either a flight into New York or Chicago will be the target. The date is either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. He is heading for Denmark with a bomb made up of high explosives sewn into his underwear and several bribes have been paid to make sure he skirts through security.
Agents are ready to swoop in.
President Obama picks up the phone and places a call to someone; who we don’t know. But we do know what the orders were and that it was in mid November of 2009. Possibly the 22nd. Agents were to stand down and drop their surveillance of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. There are protests, but President Obama reminds the person on the other end of the line who is giving the order.
On Christmas Day Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab boards Northwest Airlines flight 253. Agents are no longer tailing him and his location is unknown. He is ready to become a martyr for Allah unknowing that the only reason he has gotten this far is because of friends in high places seeking to use him and his plans for political gain.
As the plane prepares to land, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab attempts to detonate the bomb. But he fails. No boom. Just a bunch of fire and smoke as passengers rush in to subdue him.
The plane lands and President Obama, informed of the incident, sighs and opens his desk drawer looking longingly at a prepared speech he had his speechwriters spend weeks writing and rewritting for when the time had come. He closes the desk drawer and turns to a stack of new reports just placed on his desk this morning concerning terrorist planning further plots …
Fade to black.
Ok, now I am not saying this is what happened. Just to be clear. I am saying that this is what the kook conspiracy theorists who spent so much time ignoring the evidence about what really happened on 9/11/01 SHOULD be saying right about now. That is, IF they really weren’t the partisan hacks I know them to be.
My opinion is that this event is just further incompetence by a man and his fellow travelers who willingly refuse to take the threat of terrorism seriously. And eventually it will cost us all dearly.
