ARE OBAMA’S “ROOTS” COMING BACK TO HAUNT HIM?

SPECIAL POST

I think we have all been wondering why Obama seems to be so feeble in reaching a decision on Afghanistan. Nine years ago, Islamic Al-Queda trained radical extremists brought down the World Trade Center, took out a major portion of the Pentagon, caused national heroes to give their lives to keep another plane from destroying who knows what and 3,000 people died. It was subsequently learned that those terrorists who carried out the deed had trained in Afghanistan with the full support of the Taliban.

Today, we occupy Afghanistan and we are at war with the Taliban. Those in charge on the ground are requesting more troops, warning that failure to comply could result in our losing the war. That request came two months ago and has yet to be acted upon. The President couldn’t agree with the commanders and establish a “War” Council to examine and recommend options. They did so, and Obama summarily dismissed all of the options.

What is it that he is looking for?

The clue may well be in another horrific tragedy that occurred in Fort Hood. Major Nidal Hasan shot down and killed 13 people, (one pregnant), and injured 30 more in an act that is becoming more and more tied directly into radical Islamic extremist terrorism, with its ultimate root ties to Al Queda. Now comes the revelation that Hasan is Muslim and a radical at that. He is “conflicted” between his Americanism and his extremist views. He openly says that he cannot come to grips with the thought of a Muslim American, (him), having to kill other Muslims.

Is that the ultimate question facing Barack Hussein Obama today? Is he facing a conflict between what he knows will happen to America if we get out of Afghanistan and the thought of sending in more Americans to kill Muslims?

You see, up until now, he could claim and reconcile within himself that this is Bush’s war. But, the minute that he makes a decision as to what to do, it becomes HIS war. Could it be that he really wants someone else to say…. “Let’s get out,” so that we Americans cannot blame him for the loss of the war or any resulting acts of terrorism that occur here? That gets him off the hook with his internal Muslim conflicts and protects him politically, as well.

Whether or not you believe that Obama is Muslim, you must agree that he had a strong Muslim upbringing. Because he has been very secretive about his life, we do not know if he had radical extremist teachings or not. What we DO know is that he has shown unequivocal signs of leadership weakness on this issue. We DO know that he had said, during his campaign, if the decision he had to make was between America and the Islamic faith, he would choose Islam.

The clock ticks on.

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
