Press Release: It's time to recognize war on terror leaders

Pres. George W. Bush awarded the
Medal of Freedom to former
CIA director George Tenet.

On May 1, 2011 Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden.  The United States Department of Fear urges Congress to establish a new medal of honor to mark this historic occasion, the Osama Bin Laden Medal of Honor (OBLMH).    On behalf of the American People, Congress should award this medal to Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, in recognition of their contributions toward developing and implementing policies that led to the death of the greatest terrorist of all time.  We hope that the OBLMH will serve as a reminder to the America People that the fight against terrorism is bipartisan, that no one party or political leader deserves all the credit for the greatest triumph to date in the war.

Preventing terrorist conquest of North Africa

UPI:

North African Islamist militants linked to al-Qaida are reportedly building heavily fortified bunkers in the Sahara Desert against airstrikes as Algeria and its neighbors mount a combined offensive against them.

Security authorities in Algeria and Mali, its southern neighbor, have reported construction work in their territories. Fortifications are also being built along the border with Niger, east of Mali.

The potential terrorist conquest of North Africa is a real and growing national security concern.

DoF urges the president to initiate predator drone strikes against various locations in Mali, Algeria, and Niger -- anywhere terrorists are suspected of hiding.   Although such measures will certainly not eliminate the threat, it will bring the war to the terrorists.    To paraphrase the former vice president: if we fight them over there, maybe we won't have to fight them here.

Vice President Dick Cheney to Obama: "We are at War"

On Christmas Day, Obama received a serious wake up call from the terrorists.    POLITICO transcribed the Vice-President's remarks as follows:

As I’ve watched the events of the last few days it is clear once again that President Obama is trying to pretend we are not at war. He seems to think if he has a low-key response to an attempt to blow up an airliner and kill hundreds of people, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if we bring the mastermind of Sept. 11 to New York, give him a lawyer and trial in civilian court, we won’t be at war.

He seems to think if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hard-core Al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war. He seems to think if he gets rid of the words, ‘war on terror,’ we won’t be at war. But we are at war and when President Obama pretends we aren’t, it makes us less safe. Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war? It doesn’t fit with the view of the world he brought with him to the Oval Office. It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation — the restructuring of American society. President Obama’s first object and his highest responsibility must be to defend us against an enemy that knows we are at war.
