The Continuing Chen Saga

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
Just before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and a gaggle of others arrived in Beijing, China this week, a courageous blind dissident named Chen Guangcheng miraculously escaped horrific house arrest and found safe haven in the U.S. embassy there.

Yesterday, Mr. Chen left that protection after receiving Chinese assurances that he and his family would be safe. Today, this critic of China’s abominable one-child policy tells Western reporters that he felt pressured to leave the embassy, that he fears for the lives of his loved ones and that he wants them all to leave China with Mrs. Clinton.

On this National Day of Prayer, let’s pray the Obama administration will put pressure where it should have been all along – on the Communist Chinese to free this brave man and his family.

Obama's Trip To Afghanistan

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
President Obama did a brief drop-by in Afghanistan last night. It could be called the ultimate campaign whistle-stop since its evident purpose was to allow him once again to take personal credit for killing Osama bin Laden a year ago.
Interestingly, a damning new video at VeteransforaStrongAmerica.org shows how wholly inappropriate – and utterly appalling – is this self-promotion on the backs of real heroes who took out al Qaeda’s chief terrorist.
Worse yet, Mr. Obama used the occasion to reaffirm that he’s pulling the plug on US combat operations in Afghanistan. Then he had the gall to promise that the United States would continue to be engaged there for a decade afterwards. Unfortunately, it’s predictable that we will come to regret the former, and decline to honor the latter.

China's One-Child Policy

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
For years, a blind Chinese dissident named Chen Guangcheng defied the Communist Party’s dictates and censorship, earning him and his wife chronic beatings under house arrest.

Miraculously, Chen managed to escape last week. He stealthily fled some 300 miles to Beijing, apparently securing American diplomatic protection there. That’s particularly inconvenient, coming as it does on the eve of a major and carefully choreographed bilateral love fest involving a U.S. delegation of several hundred, led by the Secretaries of State and Treasury.

Most inconvenient of all, however, is Mr. Chen’s cause: He has relentlessly campaigned against Communist China’s brutal so-called “one child policy” – a practice that amounts to a genocide against female children. Let’s stand with Chen Guangcheng, and against an authentic Chinese “war on women.”

Anniversay of Osama bin Laden's Death

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
The Obama-Biden campaign marked the first anniversary of the liquidation of Osama bin Laden in an appalling, yet telling, way. It used former President Bill Clinton to extol his successor’s role in the mission – and quoted selectively Republican nominee Mitt Romney to suggest he would not have done the same.

Never mind that Mr. Clinton repeatedly declined to take out bin Laden. What Gov. Romney said in context was absolutely correct: “I wouldn't want to over-concentrate on Bin Laden. He's one of many, many people who are involved in this global Jihadist effort. He's by no means the only leader. It's a very diverse group – Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood and of course different names throughout the world.”

Getting bin Laden isn’t the issue. Getting the rest of the threat right is.

Thank God Michele Bachmann!

All I can say is, thank God for Michele Bachmann. Yesterday, she made what should be big news in appearances on the Christian Broadcasting Network and on Glenn Beck’s radio program.

The Minnesota Republican and one-time presidential candidate, denounced the role the Muslim Brotherhood is being allowed to play in how our law enforcement personnel and military are being trained to counter the threat posed by Islamists who seek our destruction – a group that, as it happens, includes the Muslim Brotherhood.

Rep. Bachmann is absolutely right to be alarmed at such penetrations of our government. She told Glenn Beck she is leading an effort on Capitol Hill to get inspectors general of key government agencies and the House committees responsible for their oversight to investigate these Brotherhood operations. God speed, Michele Bachmann.

Glenn Beck's Public Service

Last night, Glenn Beck rendered an incalculable public service. He unveiled a documentary about the most serious single threat facing America today: the systematic, disciplined and increasingly successful effort to destroy Western civilization from within that has been mounted by the Muslim Brotherhood in this country for decades.
Entitled “Rumors of War 3,” this film brings together national security professionals (full disclosure, I appear in it), legislators, journalists and other experts who connect the proverbial “dots” about this threat. They describe the Brotherhood’s “civilization jihad” – a pre-violent companion to the terrorism being used for the same purpose: to impose the supremacist Islamic doctrine of shariah worldwide on Muslims and non-Muslims, alike.
