Stupid is as stupid does By Frank Salvato Stunningly (okay, maybe I am not as stunned as I could be), the Obama Administration's State Department has succeeded in achieving the same stunted intellect toward the threats made by violent Islamists as was held by our government in the days before September 11, 2001. The critical mass moment came in the announcement that State Department rejects the Islamic State's claim that is it at war with US. The Washington Free Beacon reports:
At almost the very same moment, The Washington Times reports:
Stupid is as stupid does. But this is a very special kind of stupid. It is an almost exact replication of what happen in both 1996 and again in 1998, when the US State Department - and, indeed, the entirety of the US government - ignored Osama bin Laden's two declarations of war against the United States. The result of this arrogant attitude came in the slaughter of 2,977 people and an additional 1,140 responders and people who worked, lived or studied in Lower Manhattan at the time who have since been diagnosed with cancer. One has to wonder. Is the Obama Administration so inept; so ill-qualified to lead, that it simply doesn't understand the immediate danger our country's people face? Is it that they are just so incredibly immersed in their ideology that they would be willing to watch our people plummet, burning in the skies, from another skyscraper? Or is it that this administration is literally sympathetic to the Islamist cause? That last thought would have warranted the "conspiracy theory" label just a year or two ago. Now, frighteningly, it has become a legitimate question.
