Frank Gaffney: It's The Jihad, Stupid
Poll after poll indicates that official Washington is held in very low regard by the American people. One reason is that our leaders are seen as out of touch with the realities confronting ordinary folks - and with what those folks' common sense suggests are appropriate responses to such realities. There could scarcely be a more graphic example of that disconnect - and its ominous implications - than the contortions the U.S. government is now going through in the wake of the murder of 13 people and the wounding of dozens more at Fort Hood last week. For example, the FBI declared immediately after the attack that it was not an act of terrorism. Other officials are promoting the idea that it is simply a case of an individual afflicted by post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or deranged by the prospect of an upcoming deployment to a war zone. President Obama insists that we should reserve judgment, evidently because the facts are open to varying interpretations.
The Obama administration goes to great lengths to avoid admitting that 13 good people were killed by a terrorist or at the very minimum a terrorist sympathizer but the same administration abandoned a pro-American and Pro-Israel Muslim newsman in Bangladesh without hesitation. The following came from the American Spectator.
