Wimp-In-Chief
6/1/09: Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, who by the way studied Islam in Yemen.
6/3/09:
“I am deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence against two brave young soldiers who were doing their part to strengthen our armed forces and keep our country safe. I would like to wish Quinton Ezeagwula a speedy recovery, and to offer my condolences and prayers to William Long’s family as they mourn the loss of their son.”
Two days to make that statement?
11/5/09: Nidal Malik Hasan. Another Yemen connection.
11/5/09 (after seeking some applause, of course):
“But as some of you might have heard, there has been a tragic shooting at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas. We don’t yet know all the details at this moment. We will share them as we get them…”
Oh by the way … 13 people were murdered by a jihadi-obsessed terrorist …
12/25/09: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Another Yemen connection.
12/28/09 (sorry for interrupting your vacation, Mr. President):
“Where our government has information on a known extremist and that information is not shared and acted upon as it should have, so that this extremist boarded a plane with dangerous explosives that could have cost nearly 300 lives, a systemic failure has occurred and I consider that totally unacceptable”
Again, waiting days to make a “law enforcement” statement. Weak, weak, weak.
Makes you wonder what’s going to happen over the next three years, doesn’t it?
