The Patriot Post® · Kenya Be Any More PC?

Apparently, the U.S. now has another “Overseas Contingency Operation” (OCO) available, in the wake of a terrorist attack in Kenya, with all fingers pointing to al-Shabaab, Somalia’s closely-tied version of al-Qaida. With the “War on Terror” now over – thanks to the politically correct (PC) handiwork of Team Yes-We-Can and the banishment of the war-on-terror term in lieu of the kindler-gentler “OCO” language – it’s good to know the world can now rest easy. Of course, the bombing took place in a heavily traveled, upscale mall and killed 61. Let’s not forget the bombing took place 15 years to the day after al-Qaida’s last mass bombing in Nairobi, Kenya. Intelligence reports indicate that some of the terrorists were U.S.-reared Somalis. There certainly are Americans joining al-Shabaab.

If it turns out that Americans did indeed participate in the attack, then it means that at the same time the Obama administration’s official position is to deny a “war on terror” exits, we’re training the very terrorists who haven’t yet “gotten the memo” on that one. It gets better: Investor’s Business Daily reports, “At least some of the Somalis who terrorized the Nairobi mall were brought to the U.S. by U.S. policymakers, settled by activist do-gooders such as Catholic Charities, reared on U.S. welfare, and given a relativistic education grounded not in patriotism but in one-culture-is-just-as-good-as-another multiculturalism.” It’s the perfect PC storm, and if left unchecked Kenyan mall bombings will be the least of our worries.
