Sarah Palin: It's a War, Not a Crime Spree
Fatal Flaw: "President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed," writes Sarah Palin on her Facebook page.
"We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001," she argues.
"This is a war on terror not an 'overseas contingency operation.' Acts of terrorism are just that, not 'man caused disasters.'
"The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an 'isolated extremist' who traveled to a land of 'crushing poverty.'
"He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant." (emphasis added)
