“Why We Chose Not to Meet with President Obama”

Saturday, February 7, 2009

Barack Obama, the terrorist sympathizer, strikes again. This time he ordered a judge to drop all charges against the terrorist responsible for bombing the USS Cole which killed 17 Americans.

Obama sent out invitations to the families of the USS Cole victims to attend a meeting where he would explain why he was dropping the charges against the terrorist.

Some family members refused to meet with Obama. Below are excerpts from a letter published on the blog of one family member.

Wouldn’t it be nice if Obama showed one-tenth of the concern for our imprisoned brothers that he shows for these Muslim terrorists?

Why We Chose Not to Meet with President Obama

“Yesterday we were driving back from Houston, Texas from obtaining a passport for my daughter so she could attend the arraignment of al-Nashiri who had helped in the Cole Bombing. We were expecting to leave for Gitmo no later than this Saturday. I knew that Obama would no doubt dismiss the charges against al-nashiri. Our government has repeatably found excuses so as not to take any action against the Cole bombers and or those who support them like the countries of Yemen and the Sudan.

So it came as no surprise to me when an Obama’s aide called to tell me that we had an invitation to attend a meeting where president Obama would explain his reasons for dismissing the charges against the terrorists. I told him that it was on a short notice and that we would not be attending.

Why attend a meeting when you already know the inevitable outcome? And President Obama has already signed the order to close Gitmo, and a request to stop the trials. Which they did. With only one judge who had the strength, courage and conviction to stand up for the murdered sailors and say that al-nashiri’s arraignment would go forward.

I wish that our government would not play the head games that they have played with the victims families. Its extremely disrespectful of the victims and their families.

The trials of our son’s killers have become a heated political debate, and a political weapon that the liberals are using to get back at the past Bush administration, and the republican party. While the victims murders go unanswered, and the feelings of their families are taken on a emotional roller coaster ride.

While my family, myself and a good majority of Americans are wondering how can the Military Commissions Tribunals, which were approved by congress, be overturned by a President who does not agree with them? That’s not a democracy. That’s more like how President Saleh in Yemen acted after our son’s killers were tried in their courts. Saleh intervened for the killers and Al-Qaeda and then reduced their sentences, and pardoned others, and had the other Cole Bombers tried on unrelated charges, and then freed.

As victims we had hoped that our own government would show us a little more respect. Wrong!

I like to think that if President Obama was in my shoes, and one of his own children had been murdered by terrorists that he as the father would go to any lengths within the law to make sure that his murdered child received justice. And God forbid that such a thing should ever happen to him, and his family. I would never wish such a thing on any person.” [LINK]
