Like most Democrats Obama thinks law enforcement rather than the military is the way to deal with Islamic terrorists. Here is what Obama had to say about it yesterday:

"And, you know, let’s take the example of Guantanamo. What we know is that, in previous terrorist attacks — for example, the first attack against the World Trade Center, we were able to arrest those responsible, put them on trial. They are currently in U.S. prisons, incapacitated.

And the fact that the administration has not tried to do that has created a situation where not only have we never actually put many of these folks on trial, but we have destroyed our credibility when it comes to rule of law all around the world, and given a huge boost to terrorists."

Obama seems unaware that Osama bin Laden planned the first attack on the World Trade Center, and when it failed, he started a new plan. The Clinton Administration took no action against Osama, even when offered the opportunity to apprehend him because they didn't have a good criminal case against him. John Kerry gave away the real Democrat agenda during the 2004 election when he said that instead of going after the Islamists, we should just "take the hits." Somehow, given that they may eventually get a nuclear device with which to hit us, that doesn't seem like a responsible approach to me. Democrats believe that only Republicans can be truly evil, so Islamists it is inconceivable to them that Islamists would nuke us.
