Republicans have seized on the Christmas day attempted
terrorist attack as evidence that Democrats are weak on national security
issues, as they seek to bolster their credentials ahead of next year’s
congressional elections.
As the Obama administration’s investigation into how
a 23-year-old Nigerian was able to carry explosives on to a US-bound aircraft
gathers pace, a slew of Republicans have criticised everything from the timing
of the president’s first public comments to his plans to close the Guantánamo
Bay prison camp. (President
under fire on national security)
Soft talk about engagement, closing Gitmo, these things are not going to appease
the terrorists,” said Jim DeMint, a Republican senator from South Carolina.
“They’re going to keep coming after us, and we can’t have politics as usual
in Washington, and I’m afraid that’s what we’ve got right now with airport
security,” Mr DeMint told Fox News.
(I don't like using attacks on America or possible attacks for political gain but it does look like some of us that the current White House is weak when it comes to defending America. I am still concern because of their policy we could see another 911 attack here in America that would be worst than the first one. President Obama and those running America have the idea we just want to be nice to those who hate us.)
