Obama won’t connect terror dots
When a man is apprehended with a cache of weapons, body armor, a map of a military installation and jihadist personal effects, the natural response of most Americans is to assume the situation is terrorist-related. The Obama administration says otherwise.
Lloyd R. Woodson was arrested Jan. 25 in rural New Jersey. He had been observed behaving strangely, wearing military-style fatigues and a bulletproof vest. He had a weapon modified to fire .50-caliber rounds from beneath his jacket. He had a hotel room full of weapons and ammunition. Despite all these warning signs, the immediate response from the government was that this was “not a terrorism thing.”
Bureaucratic lack of concern raises a critical question: If this is not the behavior of a terrorist, what is?
Let’s see. The murder at the Arkansas recruiting center wasn’t terrorism. The murders at Ft. Hood wasn’t terrorism. The attempted murder of 300 people by the Crotch Bomber on a plane Christmas Day wasn’t terrorism. But returning vets and pro-life advocates are ‘potential terrorists? Perhaps someone should give the Obama administration one of those ‘connect the dot’ coloring books, and let them practice CONNECTING THE FREAKIN’ DOTS!
