Barack Obama Is Deluding Himself – Disengagement Will Not Stop Terrorism

At 8:46 a.m. on Sept. 11, the bells of New York churches remembered the attack on the twin towers and Pentagon, just as they have done every year since the first anniversary in 2002. The ritual commemorations range from Obama’s minute of reflection in Washington to talks with the victims’ families at the field in Pennsylvania where the fourth diverted airplane landed thanks to the heroism of its passengers who stopped it from reaching the White House. But that date does not constitute one single moment in history, like Pearl Harbor did. Islamic terrorism was not born that day, and today, Sept. 11, 2015, it is still making headlines. The day before yesterday, the FBI arrested Joshua Ryne Goldberg, 20, in Florida. He was accused of planning a bomb explosion at the memorial of the attack in Kansas City, Missouri — in “celebration” of its 14th anniversary — and of distributing information on the Internet about how to create explosives and weapons of mass destruction. If found guilty, he could get 20 years in jail.

Islamic terrorism is more alive than ever, and Obama is dangerously deluded if he thinks that looking in the opposite direction is the best way of making peace with those declaring war on you. History teaches us that much. The Palestine Liberation Organization’s attack on the Israeli team at the Monaco Olympics took place in 1976, and Fatah and Hamas then killed thousands in Israel and across the world. The Iranian theocracy came to power at the end of the ‘70s, and the government of ayatollahs (which took dozens of Americans hostage for 444 days in the U.S. embassy in Tehran) has always supported terrorism. Al-Qaida made an attempt on the World Trade Center skyscrapers in 1993 with a truck, Osama [bin Laden] declared war on Clinton’s America at the end of the ‘90s, and in 2001 carried out the most destructive attack. George Bush declared the war on Islamic terrorism and increased vigilance. The CIA did not forget about bin Laden until it had eliminated him. Obama — a pacifist by ideology — has denied the existence of Islamic radicalism, refusing to call it by its name. Yet, he used the killing of bin Laden to get re-elected, claiming in 2012 that “the tide of war is receding.” Yet, the Islamic soldier who carried out a massacre on his fellow soldiers in Texas, the Boston marathon bombs, and the attacks on London, Madrid, Paris, suggest the Islamist extremists — of al-Qaida or the Islamic State — are forever in a war against Western infidels.

The repression of people in Syria under Assad’s genocide — supported by Russia and Iran — has opened up space for the caliphate of the Islamic State group, which today has bases from Libya to Afghanistan, gathering followers all over the world. It is Obama’s disengagement that bears rotten fruit: withdrawing from Iraq, Yemen and Libya (where he “led from behind” and left the country in chaos); he proclaimed “America is coming home and staying out of other people’s civil wars.”* Stupid illusions: Having abdicated from the role of guardian of the Middle East, he worsened the civil war in Syria and the persecutions in Iraq — the cause of the biblical exodus to Europe and the U.S., where the government has now decided to welcome 10,000 refugees. How many will be infiltrators affiliated to al-Qaida or the Islamic State group? Obama has closed his eyes to Islamic terrorism abroad and now certainly has a humanitarian crisis (refugees must be welcomed) and a more than probable risk of taking in enemies, as if the “lone wolves” in Florida weren’t enough.

Alle 8.46 dell'11 settembre le campane delle chiese di New York hanno ricordato, come fanno dal primo anniversario nel 2002, l’attacco alle Torri Gemelle e al Pentagono. Ma le commemorazioni rituali, dal minuto di raccoglimento di Obama a Washington ai discorsi dei familiari delle vittime sul prato in Pennsylvania dove il quarto aereo dirottato fini’ il suo volo per l’eroismo dei passeggeri che gli impedirono di raggiungere la Casa Bianca, non fanno di quella data un momento unico della Storia, come fu Pearl Harbor. Il terrorismo islamico non era nato allora, ed e’ ancora nella cronaca oggi, 11/9/2015. L’FBI ha arrestato ieri l'altro Joshua Ryne Goldberg, 20 anni, in Florida, accusandolo di organizzare lo scoppio di una bomba al memorial dell’attacco di 14 anni fa a Kansas City, in Missouri, per “celebrare l’anniversario”. L’accusa e’ la distribuzione di informazioni via Internet su come creare esplosivi e armi di distruzioni di massa. Se condannato, rischia 20 anni di galera.

Il terrorismo islamico e’ piu’ vivo che mai, e Obama un pericoloso illuso se pensa che per fare la pace con chi ti fa la guerra basti guardare dall’altra parte. La Storia lo insegna. L’attacco dell’OLP al team di Israele alle Olimpiadi di Monaco fu nel 1972, e Al Fatah e Hamas hanno fatto poi migliaia di morti in Israele e nel mondo. La teocrazia iraniana sali’ al potere a fine anni 70, e il governo degli ayatollah, che sequestro’ per 444 giorni dozzine di americani nell’ambasciata Usa di Teheran, e’ da sempre sponsor di terrorismo. Al Qaeda fece le prove ai grattacieli del WTC nel 1993 con un camion, Osama dichiaro’ guerra all’America di Clinton a fine Anni 90, e nel 2001 diresse l’attacco piu’ distruttivo. George Bush lancio’ la guerra all’Islam terrorista e tenne alta la guardia, e la Cia non dimentico’ Bin Laden, fino ad eliminarlo. Obama, pacifista per ideologia, ha negato l’esistenza del radicalismo islamico rifiutandosi di chiamarlo con il suo nome, ma ha usato l’uccisione di Osama per essere rieletto, teorizzando nel 2012 che “la marea della guerra sta recedendo”. Eppure, dal maggiore islamico che fece strage di commilitoni in Texas alle bombe sulla maratona di Boston, passando per gli attentati a Londra, Madrid, Parigi, gli islamici, di Al Qaeda o dell’ISIS, sono sempre in guerra contro gli infedeli dell’Ovest.

In Siria, la repressione del suo popolo del genocida Assad sorretto da Russia e Iran ha aperto lo spazio al Califfato dell’ISIS, che oggi ha basi dalla Libia all’Afghanistan, e genera seguaci nel mondo. E’ il disimpegno di Obama che da’ i suoi frutti marci: ritraendosi da Iraq, Yemen e Libia (dove ha “guidato da dietro” e lasciato poi il paese nel caos) aveva proclamato “l’America torna a casa e sta fuori dalle guerre civili altrui”. Folle illusione: l’aver abdicato al ruolo di guardiano del Medio Oriente ha aggravato la guerra civile in Siria e le persecuzioni in Iraq, causa dell’esodo biblico verso l’Europa e gli USA, dove il governo ha ora deciso di accogliere 10mila rifugiati. Quanti saranno gli infiltrati affiliati ad Al Qaeda o all’ISIS? Obama ha chiuso gli occhi sul terrorismo islamico all’estero, e ora ha un problema umanitario certo (l’accoglienza di disperati e’ un dovere) e un rischio piu’ che probabile di ospitare cellule nemiche. Come non bastassero i “lupi solitari” in Florida.
