The al Qaeda threat to the United States is growing. Reportedly, per an ABC report, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is only the first of many more terrorists — from huge terrorist training grounds in Yemen — who are planning to come to America to inflict bloody jihad.

And what is President Barack Obama doing for Americans in the face of this imminent terrorism from Muslim zealots?

Gotta love those gorgeous beaches of Hawaii… when you’re not golfing or snokeling, of course.

From Brian Ross and Richard Esposito at ABC News, Abdulmutallab: More Like Me In Yemen:

Accused Northwest Bomber Says More Bombers On the Way; Al Qaeda Promises to Hit Americans:

American officials have cause to worry there may be more al Qaeda-trained young men in Yemen planning to bring down American jets.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon.

And in a tape released four days before the attempted destruction of the Detroit-bound Northwest plane, the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasted of what was planned for Americans, saying, “We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God.”

Yemen has become a principal al Qaeda training ground and the accused suicide bomber told the FBI he was trained for more than a month in Yemen, given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants, undetected by standard security screening.

“They know that this is a weakness and an Achilles’ heel in our airport security system,” said ABC News consultant and former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke.

Law enforcement authorities say tragedy was averted only because the bomb’s detonator did not work.

“I think it’s very clear it came very, very close,” said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, ranking minority member of the House Intelligence Committee. “The explosive device went off, it became an incendiary device instead of an explosive device, which is probably what saved that airplane.”

FOX News Sunday – The Christmas Terror Attack

From Hot Air, Now You See It (the System Working), Now You Don’t:

Another reality that is inescapable is the patent falsity of Obama’s claim (upon finally making a statement) that the government is doing everything in its power to keep the homeland safe. Everything in its power would not include reading Abdulmuttalab his Miranda rights and permitting him to lawyer up within minutes of his capture. On the contrary, when a combatant is captured on the battlefield — as he was — he should be considered a critical resource, as was the case during the Bush years. Abdulmuttalab should immediately have been isolated and questioned on details of the operation, who else was involved, and what other plans are in the works.

A final reality is that Obama and his attorney general are systematically leading the country toward, not away from, another attack on the Homeland. The longer they remain in denial, the greater that likelihood becomes.

We all lived through one 9/11. No one needs another one to prove Obama wrong.
