Obama plays Lets Make a Deal

And Pundit & Pundette are not liking this game.

Let’s face it. Barack Obama is fundamentally incapable of leading or defending our country. From Andy McCarthy:

 

Today, New Year’s Eve, while everyone’s attention is understandably on family and friends, we learn (thanks to the ever alert Bill Roggio, reporting on the Standard‘s blog) that the administration has now released Qais Qazali, Laith’s brother, who is the head of the Iran-backed terror network, in addition to a hundred other terrorists. In violation of the long-standing, commonsense policy against capitulating to kidnappers and terrorists because it just encourages more hostage-taking and murder, the terrorists were released in exchange for a British hostage [Peter Moore] and the remains of his three contract guards (whom the terrorists had murdered).

So, as the mullahs, America’s incorrigible enemies, struggle to hang on, we’re giving them accommodations and legitimacy. And the messages we send? Terrorize us and we’ll negotiate with you. Kill American troops or kidnap civilians and win valuable concessions — including the release of an army of jihadists, and its leaders, who can now go back to targeting American troops.

Again, news that just makes me ill. How assbackwards is this administration? Do they have any clue how foolish and harmful this is?  Jill has a great quote that sums it up.

We struggle to understand the Obama administration because we give them too much credit. Obama has never lived in the real world. His mindset of moral equivalence and Western culpability for all the ills of the world doesn’t allow him to acknowledge evil or embrace the basic tenets of self-defense or a just war.

How very sad, and how very sad.
