Janet Napolitano, Secretary of Homeland Security, said there is no sign the explosions in Boston were part of a "broader plot.”
"While there is no current indication to suggest that the events in Boston are indicative of a broader plot. Out of an abundance of caution, DHS continues to keep in place enhanced security measures at transportation hubs, utilizing measures both seen and unseen." ~Napolitano
Meanwhile the shooting at
Ft. Hood by Islamic terrorist Nidal Hasan was classified as “workplace violence," seemingly ignoring the intercepted communications by U.S. intelligence between Hasan, the
military psychiatrist at Ft. Hood, and Anwar
al-Awlaki, the radical cleric in Yemen known for his influence and incendiary
anti-American teachings.
Despite the reportedly large number of communications (10-20 emails), military officials in the Obama administration claimed they did not suggest any threat of violence, that there were no “co-conspirators” or that the attack “was part of a broader terrorist plot.” They concluded that no further action was required. Uh ok. After the attacks which killed 13 and wounded 30, al-Awlaki praised Hasan on his website as a “hero” and a “… man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people.” So Hasan’s senior recruiter praised him as a conscience-filled Jihadist and hero, but U.S. intelligence could not Google al-Awlaki’s website to figure out that this was a motivated terrorist who was part of the al-Qaeda network?
Anwar al-Awlaki was the head recruiter and motivator of al-Qaeda (he preached and radicalized 3 of the 9/11 terrorists). He was also associated with Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab the Nigerian Islamic terrorist (”Underwear Bomber) who was caught trying to bomb an American Airlines flight to Detroit – al-Awlaki actually helped plan the attack. Although Anwar al-Awlaki’s influence was ignored in the Hasan case for no apparent reason, he was later placed on a kill list by Obama and killed by a drone in Yemen.
So if any of these words coming from the Obama administration about the bombing at Boston Marathon sound familiar (a Saudi national suspect and the Obama administration claiming that there is no sign of a broader terrorist plot)… don’t be fooled again. History repeats itself. How do you prevent terrorism when you refuse to acknowledge that it exists and you willfully ignore the obvious characteristics of those who commit acts of terrorism? While the terrorists commit the acts, we bear responsibility - political correctness is responsible for those people who have been maimed and killed.
