“Hey, Mohammed. I just had an idea! Let’s blow up the Belgian subway . . . ”
“Sorry Abdul . . . you’re on your own on this one. I’ve been assignted to blow up the Airport. This will teach them. You arrest 1 of ours, we kill a dozen of yours . .. praise be to Allah”
No one knows exactly how the plotters came together to carry out the latest European atrocities. But the dialogue above is as good a guess as any, no?
I have to confess, I was skeptical a few months ago when Trump began calling for a hiatus on accepting more muslim refugees. I got past the part where the media was deliberately suppressing the “temporary” adjective preceding hiatus – it was only supposed to be for a few months, until Homeland Security, TSA, the CIA, and the FBI could get their act together. This was supposed to happen right after 9/11 - better coordination and higher standards - but clearly its still a work in progress.
Trump called for the hiatus after the Paris attacks. Then we had the San Bernarnino massacre on our own soil ("No, we didn't check her Facebook page or tweets. Why would we do that? It would seem like racial profiling").
Before that 3 off duty US marines wrestled a machine gun out the hands of an Islamic terrorist on train full of french commuters. And received the French Legion of Honor medal of honor or something. Before that it was Charlie Hebdo. The Boston Marathon. The London airport attack. Fort Hood. On and on and on.
Now, this morning, we have twin attacks on a busy Belgian subway and airport, during peak travel hours. These guys simply will not stop, unless we stop them.
Belgium and France spent 3 months tracking down the one who got away, from the Paris attacks. And now there are AT LEAST 2 other terror cells immediately avenging his capture. It is no longer rational to congratulate the Belgian authorities on their good work, arresting that one guy. There are 600,000 muslims in Belgium, out of a total national population of 11 million. And thousands of those secret jihadists apparently come and go as they please from Belgium to Syria, Iraq, Libya, Paris, and so forth.
Trump appears to be right. We cannot risk the entry of more potential terrorists until someone in authority raises his right hand and says “We have completely revamped our vetting process. It is as robust and effective as we can make it. We know how to spot the bad guys.”
Democrats are clueless. Obama is basking in the Cuban sun, posing for photo ops with the Castro brothers. Both Hillary and Sanders continue to applaud the Iranian nuke deal, and call for open borders to anyone with a compass and enough bottled water to make the trip to Texas. Europe is no longer accepting new young men claiming they are refugees. Democrats have the opposite plan. Protecting actual US citizens from coming into harm's way should be the first job of our government. It appears to be the last thing on the mind of Obama, Hillary, and Sanders.
I’m not a religious person, but god help us if we get 4 more years of this terrorist coddling.
GOP - you have your central campaign issue. Don't squander it.
