The muddle-minded moneyman made Manhattan mayor, Michael Bloomberg, reversed his initial support for President Obama’s decision to try 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed mere blocks from New York City’s Ground Zero. When Attorney General Eric Holder first informed Bloomberg that his city’s courts would try enemy combatants as common criminals, Bloomberg announced, “…New York City stands ready to assist the federal court in the administration of justice in any way necessary. I have great confidence the New York Police Department and federal authorities will handle security expertly.”
Then his honor the mayor got an ear-full of complaints from angry and nervous constituents that caused Bloomberg to change his muddled mind in a New York minute. “It’s going to cost an awful lot of money and disturb an awful lot of people. Can we provide security? Yes. Could you provide security elsewhere? Yeah, and I mean — the suggestion of a military base is probably a reasonably good one. Relatively easy to supply — to provide security. They tend to be outside of cities so that they don’t disrupt other people.” Here’s a suggestion, your honor: how’s about Guantanamo Bay, Cuba?
It appears the Obama Administration is getting the message that trying holy warriors as common criminals was a big mistake. “I think I can acknowledge the obvious,” an administration source told the New York Times, “We’re considering other options.”
Obama and Mayor Bloomberg aren’t the only ones attempting to repair their image. In a newly released audio message purported to be from 9/11 instigator Osama bin Laden, the cave dwelling knuckle-dragger claims he is not only fighting for Allah but to prevent global warming. He joins with President Obama in castigating the person he feels is at the root of the world’s – if not the universe’s - collapse:
“The talk about climate change is not an intellectual indulgence. Rather, it is a reality. All of the industrialized countries, and especially the large ones, bear the responsibility for the crisis of the greenhouse effect. Most of them, though, rallied around the Kyoto accords, and agreed to limits on emissions of harmful gases. However, Bush Jr., and Congress before him, rejected this accord in order to please the large corporations, which are themselves the ones responsible for speculation, monopolies, and the rise in the cost of living. And they are behind globalization and its tragic consequences. Then, when these criminals' own evil deeds did them in, the heads of state rush to rescue them with public funds…They are the true terrorists.”
And you thought bin Laden couldn’t receive MSNBC anchor Keith Olbermann’s talking points from his cave in Waziristan. Bin Laden obviously prepared for his message having viewed a pirated DVD of Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth.”
Whether it’s Al Gore, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Michael Bloomberg or Osama bin Laden, ideology is not the glue that holds these misfits together. It’s utopian lunacy.
