For months we’ve had the discussion here about whether Carlos Bledsoe<\/a> and Nidal Hasan<\/a> were jihadist terrorists and I’m pretty sure the evidence is overwhelming. Most Americans are probably convinced of that fact. But in both cases, the feds have been unwilling to call it terrorism, let alone mention radical Islam in relation to the incidents. They are even reluctant to admit that Mr. Underwear Bomber is a terrorist. This morning, the Washington Times<\/a> asks if the Obama Administration even knows terrorism exists at all;<\/p>\n

It’s not clear what the Obama administration thinks terrorism is, if it thinks it exists at all. The administration doggedly maintains that political, especially jihadist, violence by individuals with no international linkage is not terrorism. This definition might come as a surprise to the Unabomber, who for years was the most sought-after terrorist in America.<\/p>\n

President Obama’s knee-jerk response that the Christmas Day bombing plot was not terror-related was probably one of the factors that led Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to be Mirandized quickly and treated as a criminal suspect. It shouldn’t matter that this was a domestic incident; he is a jihadist warrior, and the aircraft was his battlefield. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other day, I wondered what Lloyd Woodson<\/a> was planning. The Obama Administration denied that he was motivated by terrorism or Islam, but the Times says otherwise;<\/p>\n

A report by the Northeast Intelligence Network reveals that, according to a member of New Jersey law enforcement, Mr. Woodson’s personal effects “not only associate him with ‘radical Islam,’ but also with a ‘militant Islamic group.’ ” But as the two cases mentioned above indicate, even this would not qualify him as a terrorist under the Obama administration’s narrow definition. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, what will convince the Obama Administration that there are indeed domestic terrorists here (that don’t have right-wing leanings) and that we’re under attack? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
