Triple-Cross: Mounting Bush Failures in Domestic War on Islamic Terrorism
By Debbie Schlussel
Three things I’ve repeatedly warned about, all of them coming to fruition:
* When Islamic Jihad founder, chief, and U.S. frontman Sami Al-Arian was sentenced a few years ago–after pleading (since the government basically failed in its prosecution of him on terrorism charges, when the jury deadlocked on half the charges and acquitted him of the rest), everyone was praising it. But now me–I warned that it was a softball sentence. A slap on the wrist.
Yesterday, he was released from prison, even though he was found in contempt for refusing to testify in a related Islamic terrorism trial. GUH-reat plea agreement, Department of (non-)Justice.
* Also yesterday, prosecutors dropped most remaining charges against two defendants, Mufid Abdulqader and Abdulrahman Odeh, in the Holy Land Foundation trial–which they’ve already lost (the jury acquitted the men of most charges and deadlocked on the others). Don’t look for the U.S. to win against the remaining defendants, Ghassan Elashi and Shukri Abu Bakr.
* Muslim commercial airline pilot Erich Scherfen was originally suspended and soon-to-be-fired from flying because he was on the terrorist watch list. But, no worries, he’s back on the job, after letters and suits from his lawyers.
Would you want to fly on his plane? I sure wouldn’t. For your information, he flies for Colgan Air, Inc., which provides connections for Continental, United, and U.S. Airways.
Watch this video of Scherfen and his wife. They are extremist Muslims dedicated to jihad.
Gee, aren’t you glad President Bush and our troops are fighting the terrorists over there so that “we won’t have to fight them on our own soil”? Well, technically, we aren’t fighting them on our own soil. We’re capitulating.
It’s a great line for the next generation of fairy tale books for kids.
Will any of this change if John McCain is elected President? Don’t hold your breath.
“Watch this video of Scherfen and his wife. They are extremist Muslims dedicated to jihad.”
What in the video tells us this other than its on CNN?
