Al-Oufi Proves It: Libs Are Fools
S
o, the Obama admin is batting around the idea of moving the world’s worst terror-mongers out of Fidel Castros backyard and putting them in mine – specifically the Pendleton Marine base just south of my home. I’m with Rep. Duncan Hunter on that idea:
Camp Pendleton is a place where we train our Marines and sailors for combat. It is not a detention facility, nor should it be transformed into one. Any attempt to accommodate detainees at Camp Pendleton would create an unnecessary distraction for the Marine Corps and interfere with its primary mission, which is to combat terrorism. (source)
Yup. But Obama’s committed to closing the one place on earth that’s ideal for storing these creeps (if you don’t count Superman’s Fortress of Solitude), so they just might be coming to a military base near you.
Awful as that is, it’s better than letting them go, as Abu al-Hareth Muhammad [Muhammed?! You mean like the Prophet of Peace?!] al-Oufi is proving. (How do you like the photo of him?)
You remember Abu; he’s the guy who ended up in Guantamo because he was just stopping off at the Tastee Freez nowhere near the battlesite, and his attorneys argued loudly his innocence, so he was released back to his freedom-loving, terror-hating home state of Saudi Arabia. The date of his release? Sept. 11 (yes, 9/11!), 2007.
But when video of ol’ Abu being all al-Qaeda-like in Yemen surfaced this week, those of us with brains realized (the shock!) that the Lib’s charactization of this noble victim was just a wee bit off.
Here’s the Abu that Seton Hall prof and detainee defender Mark Denbeaux and his fellow asylum inmates saw, in Abu’s own words:
“I was on my way to Quetta, Pakistan, to help people, the refugees,” al-Oufi told a military panel at Guantanamo, according to a transcripts reviewed by The Associated Press. He explained that he was arrested along with many other Arabs and sold to U.S. forces for bounties. Al-Oufi insisted he had never set foot in Afghanistan.
Yet we held poor Abu without charges or trial until all of our Cherished American Ideals were destroyed. But wait … maybe Bush isn’t the worst president of all time; maybe he had it right! Because here’s what we’ve learned about poor, poor pitiful Abu:
On Wednesday, the SITE Intelligence Group, an organization that monitors extremist Web sites, provided a translation of al-Oufi’s biography contained in an online militant forum. The personal history was completely at odds with how al-Oufi had characterized himself as he tried to convince a panel of U.S. military officers at Guantanamo that he was an innocent man who had been swept up in Pakistan after the Sept. 11 attacks. …
… [T]he biography said he had fought in Afghanistan, Chechnya and Kashmir before he was captured, and had narrowly escaped death when “an American rocket” hit a house in Afghanistan where he and 13 other mujahedeen were sleeping. Al-Oufi was the only survivor and “was not hit by even one piece of shrapnel.”
The biography tries to present al-Oufi in a heroic light, using flowery language.
“He continued fighting until Afghanistan fell into the hands of the Americans,” said the biography. “He could not help but go to Pakistan and wait there until the Taliban started anew, and then he would return. But Allah determined for our lion to be imprisoned.”
Huh. Go figger.
Will the ACLU, Denbeaux and their ilk learn from this? Of course they will! They will learn new strategies that minimize the reality of the likes of Abu al-Hareth Muhammad al-Oufi so they can continue to take the wrong side in this epic battle for the future of civilization.
