Obama hides behind skirts of school children as Al Qaeda kills yet another American and holds others hostage. Using weapons from Libya paid for by US taxpayers

 1/18/13, “Obama’s deadly delusions #savage,” Atlas Shrugs, Pamela Geller

“At the House of Commons today, UK Prime Minister David Cameron called the jihadist attack on the BP gas field “brutal and savage” (there’s that word again), and said that the assault on the complex was “large, well co-ordinated and heavily armed” and appeared to be pre-planned. By whom? By al Qaeda-linked jihadists. Man Called Jihad ‘Prince’ Is linked to Algeria kidnapping

Obama tells us that al Qaeda is vanquished, while in reality their attacks are becoming more lethal, more widespread, and more brazen. The attack on our consulate (or whatever that building really was) in Benghazi that led to murder of our Ambassador and three other diplomatic attaches) was al Qaeda.

The jihadist attack on a gas field targeting Westerners is huge news across the world. Everywhere but here in America. This should be the number one news story and the top priority of the Obama administration.  Americans were taken hostage — how many died in the subsequent rescue can only be guessed at right now. But we know of one American death.

Even so, here in America, is the President even talking about this like other world leaders? No. He is exploiting a horrible tragedy and hiding behind the skirts of children in order to disarm the American people.

Even violence-scarred Algerians were stunned by the brazen hostage-taking Wednesday, the biggest in northern Africa in years and the first to include Americans as targets (more here).

The Daily Mail reports the Algerian jihadis have weapons from Libya — so we supplied them.

 

Robert Spencer has this over at PJ Media:
“When he met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Washington last Friday, Barack Obama said this about the war in Afghanistan: “We achieved our central goal … or have come very close to achieving our central goal, which is to de-capacitate al-Qaeda, to dismantle them, to make sure that they can’t attack us again.” 

He said this four days after a Muslim imam who was a soldier in the Afghan National Army opened fire on a group of his British “allies,” murdering one of them and wounding six. The Taliban, al-Qaeda’s partner in Afghanistan, claimed responsibility for the attack, which was yet another in an ever-lengthening string of “insider” attacks by Afghan forces against those who are putting themselves at risk to train and assist them.

The BBC reports that “in 2012, more than 60 Nato service personnel, and a quarter of the British troops who died in Helmand, were killed in such attacks.”

The Taliban is not al-Qaeda, although the distinction on the ground in Afghanistan may be exceedingly fine, too fine to be discerned by the average NATO soldier when the Afghan he is trying to teach how to be a military man turns the gun he has just given him on his benefactor. In any case, the appalling fact that “a quarter of the British troops who died in Helmand” perished in such attacks indicates that

the enemy in Afghanistan is far from being either “de-capacitated” or dismantled, and still has the ability to attack us."...
