At the University of California Irvine’s commencement last Saturday, President Obama took to the teleprompter to announce that climate change deniers are a “fairly serious threat to everybody’s future.” Alas, we are truly screwed as a nation when the president ignores real threats and challenges and instead doubles down on shooting down straw men while focusing on pseudo-science bull manure. But this is nothing new, and he continues this gambit at our peril -- for American blood will be on his hands when, in the words of his friend and spiritual mentor, his chickens come home to roost.One such chicken is ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. When he told his American guards upon his release from the Bucca detention center in Iraq in 2009, “I’ll see you guys in New York,” he was making a promise that he had every intention of keeping. The bad guys have their sites set on us and unlike the President, they actually follow through on their promises.Sadly, there is one Obama promise that he is actually determined to fulfill: the closing of Gitmo. In his infinite wisdom, Obama recently released five hardened Taliban terrorist commanders (one of whom “played a key role in al Qaeda’s plans leading up to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks”) in exchange for an accused traitor. Not only does that make it more likely that Americans will be targeted for kidnapping, but it puts dangerous men back in play in the War on Terror – the war Obama refuses to recognize. Al-Baghdadi was never thought of as a threat, yet lo and behold, there he is on the battlefield -- stealing victory in a war that brave Americans, losing blood and treasure, had secured until Obama threw it away.
