Obama Wants To Ban Term "Islamic Extremism"

U.S. President Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama wants the government to stop using the term "Islamic Extremism." Obama is seeking to have it scrubbed from official documents. He most likely wants the public to do the same, as that is how he operates.

You know what. Obama is right. We should not call it "Islamic Extremism." How about "Muslim Extremism" instead.

He also wants the word "Jihad" banned. Maybe he should write an email to terrorists, hit send to all and tell them stop using the term first. At the end of the day, innocent people are violently being killed over twisted, extremist ideology. Employing semantics is not going to fix that.

Obama bans terms `Islam` and `jihad` from U.S. security document

Last update - 12:05 07/04/2010 - President Barack Obama's advisers will remove religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy and will use the rewritten document to emphasize that the United States does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terror, counterterrorism officials said.

EDITORIAL: Obama's jihad on 'jihad'

To this president, there's no such thing as an Islamic extremist

President Obama's latest strategic innovation in the war on terrorism is to ignore jihad and maybe it will go away.

The Obama administration is removing terms such as "jihad" and "Islamic extremism" from the U.S. National Security Strategy in an attempt to convince Muslim countries that America doesn't view them solely through the lens of counterterrorism

Obama Places Restrictions On America's Nuclear Role

U.S. President Barack Obama (center)

U.S. President Barack Obama has placed restrictions on America's nuclear role in the world, outlining terms when such action is permissible. Among them are, in the event of an attack from another nation. President Obama plans to rely more on military might that nuclear capability.

U.S. Republicans on the other end of the political spectrum are not keen on Obama's latest announcement, claiming an arms reduction poses a threat to national security.

U.S. President Barack Obama made a secret visit to the Middle Eastern nation of Afghanistan, to encourage troops in the region. He needs to remove the troops from the Middle East, as it is accomplishing nothing.

In other news, threats against President Obama continue to pour in, due to last week's passage of his health care bill . If this keeps up, Obama may have to go out dressed like Darth Vader, if it means his clothes would be bulletproof.

Hacker Sentenced To 20-Years In Prison

Albert Gonzalez

A hacker that breached the computer security of a number of American stores, to steal millions of dollars from merchants, has been correctly sentenced to 20-years in prison for his crimes.

Miami hacker, Albert Gonzalez, was on the receiving end of a U.S. District Judge's wrath, who threw the book at him, for hacking into the computer systems of the stores Barnes And Noble, Office Max, Dave and Buster's, Hannaford Supermarkets and 7-Eleven.

Judge Douglas P. Woodstock, stated the hacker damaged the U.S. economy via his actions and that he did. The U.S. economy is already in freefall. It doesn't need electronic thieves expanding the damage as well.

It was a crime of greed, as he stole millions in credit card numbers from retailers, even going so far as to bury $1 million dollars in pilfered money in his parents backyard, which federal agents located and dug up.

That kind of security breach is inexcusable, dangerous and unnecessary. He should have sought gainful employment like everyone else, utilizing his computer abilities, rather than resorting to crime with the intention of becoming wealthy at other people's expense.

For everyone who has been the victim of identity theft, due to a lazy, shiftless hacker sitting at home in his underwear, cruising the internet for ill-gotten gains, the sentence is just, as the economic damage and consumer inconvenience it creates is significant. It is not a victimless crime.

Some identity thieves love to excuse their conduct by stating banks are rich and they can afford the losses. Still, it's not your money for you to decide what it should be spent on.

There is also another angle to the crime. Victims of identity theft spend many distressed hours trying to straighten out their credit reports and bank accounts after being targeted by hackers. It's time for such hackers to spend substantial time in prison thinking about what they did.

I recently had to spend time helping a friend straighten out her credit report and bank account after she was targeted by identity thieves.

The money had been illegally removed from her account via identity theft and as a result, while she was away for two weeks, tending to funeral arrangements for her dad, her mortgage, credit card and utility bills bounced.

When she went to the bank and discovered what happened, she broke down and started crying, as it could not have come at a worst time.

I had to call different credit bureaus for her to report what happened, enabling them to flag her account/social security number as a victim of identity theft, in the event the thieves decided to do further damage.

Then we had to go to the bank for a long time, who in turn had to thoroughly go through her account, print out all the details/activity and write, then fax letters to her mortgage, utility and credit card companies, advising them of what transpired and not to hold it against her, as the bank was issuing a temporary monetary credit to cover the damages, until they could go after the identity thieves through the authorities, to get the stolen money bank.

She was grieving for her dad and already depressed, then she had to sit in a bank for hours to face this ordeal, because some identity thief won't get a real job. Lock them up, is the Judiciary Report's assessment.

FBI Director Talks Out Of His Butt In Congress

Robert S. Mueller (Photo credit: Stephanie Woodrow)

The most evil FBI Director in history, Robert S. Mueller, went to Congress today, with his prideful "Driving Ms. Daisy" face on and proceeded to spout off a number of useless tidbits, regarding what the agency is allegedly doing to combat crime and protect America. He also spoke of the FBI's whopping $8.1 billion dollar budget, all paid for by the tax payers.

However, when you think of all the FBI's failures, such as September 11th, Fort Hood, the 2009 Christmas Day bombing attempt in Detroit, the George Tiller murder and the Pentagon Shooting, to name a few, only one thing comes to mind...America you've been had.

It would be cheaper and more effective to give every American a taser (sarcasm). The nation needs a new national law enforcement agency that isn't criminally negligent.

Government Squabbling Over Classified Information

U.S. President Barack Obama and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller

The U.S. government is currently squabbling over the release of classified information regarding terrorist, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. Some Republicans are angered information was released by the Obama Administration and FBI Director, Robert S. Mueller, proclaiming Abdulmutallab has been cooperating with the U.S. government.

The world didn't have to know the U.S. government allegedly flipped Abdulmutallab. All the government had to do was appropriately act on the alleged intel.

I was amazed when said information was released and still believe pieces of the story are missing. Additionally, how can the government try people in court for releasing national security secrets, when they are essentially doing the same.

Furthermore, why do you guys in government argue so much. It's been over 8 years since the first major terrorist attack on this nation. The government should have gotten a lawful system down pat by now.

Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder

Yet what do we see - the wrong interrogators going in first, squabbles over Miranda rights and officials unadvisedly disclosing classified information before the suspect is even tried, all for political points.

Not only has it endangered his family, who have not been accused of any crime at this point, it could spark a retaliatory attack on Americans, with terrorists deeming you corrupted their boy.

As stated previously, it is wise detaining terrorists immediately and cutting off their communication with the outside world for a few days, in order to interrogate them. It is also appropriate that terrorists be tried on American soil, but as stated previously, in remote locations to protect innocent civilians from harm (also know as "the middle of nowhere").

It's not the greatest idea that the criminal justice system applied to civilians, be used to try terrorists. Terrorism is a serious crime. It is not a white collar offense. A military judicial system on U.S. shores, accountable to Congress and the American people, would be appropriate, as is a special, austere, isolated terrorist prison.

Terrorists also should not be tortured. No one should. It's a violation of the Geneva Conventions, which America and many other nations signed. However, repeatedly interrogating them, yelling at them and exposing them to loud music, as a form of punishment until they talk, is acceptable.

White House: Kit Bond Owes WH, Law Enforcement an Apology

February 04, 2010 1:44 PM - White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs Thursday afternoon said that the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Kit Bond, R-Mo., owes people in the White House and in law enforcement an apology for alleging in a recent letter that the administration -- for political reasons -- leaked information it shouldn't have shared about Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab.

Bond, Gibbs said, "owes an apology to the professionals in the law enforcement community and those that work in this building...who work each and every day to keep the American people safe and would never ever, ever knowingly release or unknowingly release classified information that could endanger an operation or an interrogation."

Earlier today, Bond wrote to President Obama that on Monday afternoon, the leadership of the Senate Intelligence Committee as told by the Federal Bureau of Investigation that Abdulmutallab has been willing "to provide critical information" in recent days...

Obama Acquiring Nuclear Weapons

...Even Though He Just Won The Nobel Peace Prize

U.S. President Barack Obama

In spite of the fact he just won a Nobel PEACE Prize, U.S. President Barack Obama, is stockpiling nuclear weapons. He has requested billions more in the U.S. budget for nuclear weapons research and development.

It was referred to as, "The president's nuclear vision." Also known as World War III if they are not careful, as it could set off an international arms race. Obama certainly is changing and it is being noted everywhere.

Obama seeks money for nuclear weapons work

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – President Barack Obama is seeking increased funding for nuclear weapons research and security programs next year, even as his administration promotes nonproliferation and has pledged to reduce the world's stockpile of nuclear arms.

The administration on Monday asked Congress for more than $7 billion for activities related to nuclear weapons in the budget of the National Nuclear Security Administration, an increase of $624 million from the 2010 fiscal year.

NNSA Administrator Thomas D'Agostino defended putting more money into the programs, saying the U.S. needs the best nuclear weapons facilities, scientists, technicians and engineers as it moves toward eventual disarmament.

"This budget is implementing the president's nuclear vision," he said...
