Who Woulda Thunk? Our Southern Border Connects Not Just with Mexico But with the Whole World

I posted this clip last week but the issue it raises, though important for our national security, remains absent from the public discourse.


I guess it is a tough concept to understand and apply. But if there is anyone, anywhere in the world whose entry into the US could pose a threat to US citizens, the Obama administration allowing anyone to walk across our border anytime they want opens the whole country up to anyone who would do us harm. It really does not seem that difficult to understand. But apparently one can spend a lifetime reporting the news and commenting on the news and be unable to understand and appreciate this simple concept.

Times Square Bomber and Fort Hood Shooter Dropped from Terror Watch List Just in Time to Essentially Give Them Carte Blanche

***
"Published reports indicate that the Times Square car bomber was dropped from the terrorist watch list shortly before he got his citizenship in 2009--at just about the same time that surveillance of the Fort Hood shooter and the Christmas Day bomber also stopped." This is from a post at Bread Upon the Waters that details when and why Team Obama screwed the pooch in these cases. I know it must be out there somewhere but this is the only place I have come across this on the net.

Today's 'Impervious to Reality' Award Goes to Chris Matthews who Still Thinks Obama's One of Our Smartest Presidents

Matthews just can't understand why someone would criticize a president as smart as Obama. I am sure history will not remember Obama as particularly intelligent. He might be remembered as the president who made Nixon look honest by comparison or the president who did the most for our enemies and the least for our allies. There are enough questionable issues that might end up in an Obama impeachment. Strangely, Matthews keeps asking what problem Obama's critics could have with his approach to terrorism. I think that we are under threat from people would like to kill us and will if they get a chance. I do not have a sense that Obama sees it that way. I think that Obama is OK with Americans dying as long as no one says anything that any Muslim is uncomfortable with hearing. I am convinced that if he took the real threats that exist serious he would not leave our borders wide open and he would not have someone as incompetent as Napolitano in charge of DHS. By keeping Napolitano there he is effectively saying, "Keep setting bombs and shooting people because I won't fire Janet until she makes me look like a complete idiot."

Doctor Zero: What JFK Would Have Seen As A Challenge Obama Sees As An Inescapable Burden

Good column today at Hot Air by the always pungent Doctor Zero about Barack Obama's recent reflections on America's superpower status. Two small quotes from the post:
. . . the President said: " It is a vital national security interest of the United States to reduce these conflicts because whether we like it or not, we remain a dominant military superpower, and when conflicts break out, one way or another we get pulled into them. And that ends up costing us significantly in terms of both blood and treasure."
. . . . . . . .
There’s nothing factually incorrect about what the President said. It’s the tired, bloodless way he said it that provoked a sharp Sarah Palin response. It was a far cry from the way someone like JFK or Reagan would address the same topic. They would have seen the responsibility of power as a challenge we should rise to meet, with confidence and determination, and offered thanks to God that America is the nation entrusted with this challenge.
Sadly, the America of new frontiers and bright mornings was long ago. Today we live in Hospice America, where caretakers with first-class temperaments and sharply creased trousers make us comfortable in the face of inevitable decline… and forward the bills for our end-of-greatness care to our children, who will go bankrupt paying them.

Krauthammer on Obama's Nuclear Posturing as an Attempt at Misdirection

Basically the K-hammer says in a Townhall piece that nothing of any moment was achieved, the really dangerous nuclear issues that face us were not even on the agenda and it was just an act of misdirection to try and convince us that progress is being made: a typical Obama shell game.To some degree it worked since the Obama peanut gallery in the MSM is acting like this was an act of statesmanship while pretty much ignoring the details of the agreement and the realities on the ground. Read the whole piece. Here are some pertinent quotes:
What was this great convocation about? To prevent the spread of nuclear material into the hands of terrorists. A worthy goal, no doubt. Unfortunately, the two greatest such threats were not even on the agenda.
The first is Iran, which is frantically enriching uranium to make a bomb, and which our own State Department identifies as the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world.
Nor on the agenda was Pakistan's plutonium production, which is adding to the world's stockpile of fissile material every day.
..............................
So what was the major breakthrough announced by Obama at the end of the two-day conference? That Ukraine, Chile, Mexico and Canada will be getting rid of various amounts of enriched uranium.
What a relief. I don't know about you, but I lie awake nights worrying about Canadian uranium. I know these people. I grew up there. You have no idea what they're capable of doing. If Sidney Crosby hadn't scored that goal to win the Olympic gold medal, there's no telling what might have ensued.
...............................
The appropriate venue for such minor loose-nuke agreements is a meeting of experts in Geneva who, after working out the details, get their foreign ministers to sign off. Which made this parade of world leaders in Washington an exercise in misdirection -- distracting attention from the looming threat from Iran, regarding which Obama's 15 months of terminally naive "engagement" has achieved nothing but the loss of 15 months.
ndeed, the Washington summit was part of a larger misdirection play -- Obama's "nuclear spring." Last week, a START treaty, redolent of precisely the kind of Cold War obsolescence Obama routinely decries. The number of warheads in Russia's aging and decaying nuclear stockpile is an irrelevancy now that the existential U.S.-Soviet struggle is over. One major achievement of the treaty, from the point of view of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, is that it could freeze deployment of U.S. missile defenses -- thus constraining the single greatest anti-nuclear breakthrough of our time.
