AMERICA AFTER THE NEXT ATTACK
By Christopher G. Adamo
ISLAMIST TERRORISM & THE FOURTH WORLD WAR: THE VERY HIGH PROBALITY THAT THE U.S.A. WILL, IN THE NOT
TOO DISTANT FUTURE, SUFFER YET ANOTHER MAJOR ISLAMIST TERROR ATTACK, AN ATTACK DWARFING THE ENORMITY
OF THE ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 -- HOW THE AMERICAN POLITICAL LEFT IS UNDERMINING AMERICA'S RESOLVE TO
TO APPROPRIATELY RESPOND TO THE ISLAMIST ENEMY -- HOW DEMOCRATIC PARTY LIBERAL LEFTIST POLITICIANS ARE
ENCOURAGING THE ISLAMISTS TO ATTACK OUR NATION AGAIN -- WHAT AMERICA MUST DO IN ORDER TO PREVENT
ANOTHER MAJOR TERROR ATTACK & WIN THE GLOBAL WAR AGAINST THE FORCES OF ISLAMIC EXTREMISM &
BARBARISM
FULL STORY:
It is neither alarmist nor prophetic to state with grim certainty that
America will, in the not too distant future, suffer yet another major
Islamist attack, possibly dwarfing the enormity of the September 11, 2001, attacks on the U.S.A.. Since shortly after
the 9-11 attacks, forces both within our nation and abroad have diligently sought
to undermine American resolve to appropriately respond to the enemy. As a
result, that enemy now perceives a growing and broadening opportunity to
eventually hit us again.
Barring a nearly miraculous rebirth of American determination to avert that
possibility (and any remnants of such determination are rapidly dissipating
from the mainstream of society), the Islamists will, sooner or later, fall
upon a feasible occasion to strike, and they will use it.
Shortly after the American Embassy workers were taken hostage by Iranian
militants in November of 1979, Senator Ted Kennedy (Democrat - Massachusetts), who was vying
for a presidential run, seized upon the situation as an opportunity to
deride then President Jimmy Carter.
Unfortunately for Kennedy, his tactic proved to be badly timed, happening as
it did during a period when the nation was attempting to rally around its
leader. The backlash against Kennedy permanently ended his presidential
ambitions.
Of course, Carter’s performance during that crisis was just as abominable and
inept as it was in any other, and the nation soon completely lost faith in
him. Had Kennedy waited only a few months, he might have made his move with
greater success. But, by then, the stain on Kennedy’s reputation was
indelible. Admittedly, Kennedy has never had much luck with his timing.
Similarly, those who in the immediate aftermath sought to turn the 9-11
attacks back on America and the current Presidential administration were
themselves discredited. Yet, as time has worn on, and the perseverance of the
Islamists has strained the patience of a softened America, the invertebrates
among us have desperately been searching for an easy way out of the present
situation.
As cover for their cowardice, they claimed ownership of the presumed “moral
high ground” and have set out to define the debate of the day, shifting
traditional definition of patriotism and victory to the losing side. Ever
since, they have been increasingly emboldened with their anti-American
rhetoric and agenda. And among many whose singular goal has only ever been
to find the comfortable “center,” the illusion of a peaceable solution
becomes increasingly appealing.
However, a single obstacle presents itself to this scenario. America’s
enemies in the Muslim world cannot and will not be placated or appeased.
They must either be destroyed, or they will destroy us. In their
pursuit of a global Islamic order, America stands as the biggest roadblock.
If left unchecked, they will back up. They will reorganize. They will find a
weakness. And they will attack again.
Now, with each passing day, increasingly dominant political forces in this
country are sending signals that the time is right to renew their onslaught.
In one area of the nations defenses after another, guards are being taken
down. Only last week, President Bush announced his abandonment of an
autonomous approach to the surveillance of incoming phone calls from
overseas terrorists. Henceforth, this sensitive business will be handled by
the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
The nature of the surveillance program was originally made public in a clear
effort to create a political scandal, and with total indifference to the harm
that this revelation caused to national security. Does any sensible person
believe that the same people who blew the lid off of the program in the
first place will now keep quiet regarding its current operation parameters
in order to prevent such invaluable information from falling into the hands
of the nation’s mortal enemies?
Meanwhile, the ability of American troops to wage war, interrogate
prisoners, or neutralize military threats have been systematically hamstrung
by Liberal politicians.
At stake in the minds of such people is the outcome of the 2008 elections.
And even a compromise of national security, regardless of the horrendous
consequences it might reap, must first be measured from the perspective of
how it will help or hurt Democratic Party chances in 2008.
Extreme as this accusation might seem, it is no more difficult to believe
than that these people are, on a day-to-day basis (and despite their
occasional “lip service” given to the troops), calculating their stance on
the conduct of the war based solely on the political gain or liability it
presents. In no other way can their constant, drastic flip-flops be
explained.
So, in a manner every bit as reprehensible as Nero’s violin solo while Rome
burned, the American political Left is playing a despicable game of “Russian Roulette”
with the country’s future, banking on the misbegotten notion that they are
either immune to attack, or that a future attack will not directly or
personally affect any particular one of them. After all, even on the night
of September 11, 2001, though badly shaken by the events of the day, most
Americans went to bed safe and secure.
Ultimately, America cannot achieve victory against the forces of militant
Islam, whether across the ocean or within its own borders, until it
recognizes and effectively confronts the threat posed by the other war,
the war being waged against its own traditions and culture. Present gaping holes in
its defenses, the result of internal cultural rot, virtually beg for another
attack.
And just how bad will that attack be? In stark simplicity, it will either be
sufficient to convince America once and for all, to stiff-arm the
absurdities of “political correctness” and properly deal with its own
cultural insurgents as well as the Islamists, or the attack will be followed by
others in its wake.
