The Obama camp responded tonight to the attacks in Mumbai. An Obama spokesperson:

“President-Elect Obama strongly condemns today's terrorist attacks in Mumbai, and his thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the people of India,” Obama spokesman Brooke Anderson said. “These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks."

Couple this rhetoric with his move yesterday intimating that Sec. of Defense Robert Gates will remain in place for at least 12 months, and you have national security and defense positions that more or less reflect Bush doctrine... EXACTLY!

Of course those on my side of the issue are going to be pleased, we never thought the terror issue should have been sidelined in the first place. We thought that the far-left kooks in this nation that propped Obama up as the idealistic Messiah mounted upon his rainbow-excreting unicorn, were dangerous to America's future. And at least it appears that for the time being the "hate America" whacks that pushed Obama to the forefront of American politics have been repudiated.

America had hoped this would be the case because most Americans never believed that the terrorists were gone for good, but rather revamping their strategies and plans, and waiting...

When we heard from Ayman Al-Zwahiri, only one week ago today, that he had sent out that enflammatory message (often an Al Qaeda trigger signal) calling Barack Obama a "house N*gg*r," I wondered to myself if that was in fact the signal to put plans in motion to begin a series of attacks.

With Mumbai we are seeing rather large scale, coordinated planning, on a very soft target (also another signature of Al Qaeda).

Which leads us to what the FBI has alerted the nation to, a perhaps MAJOR attack against the New York City train system, that would in essence shut down the northeast travel corridor.

If Mr. Obama has been paying attention to his intelligence briefings since winning the election, it is entirely possible that he has in fact become the hawk he will HAVE to be to try to come close to the Bush record of keeping Americans safe post 9/11.

Which will leave frustrated bloggers on the left, saying things like what they are now writing on their sites:

"The message would be clear: even Democrats agree that Democrats can't run the military.?

aid lefty blogger dude...
