"Coincidence?"

Did you ever go to a restaurant or store and run into an old friend? Sometimes I think about a certain person and suddenly my phone will ring and it will be that person: WOW, what an amazing coincidence that is! I believe in coincidence, because that stuff really happens. It isn’t a coincidence when you plan for something and it happens. If you plan a family reunion and your relatives show up, that is not a coincidence that is a plan.

Why do people plan things? Plans are usually made so an event or task can cause a specific end or response. Football coaches and baseball managers always have a plan when they go into a game situation. When one plays chess, he must have a plan to cause his opponents to play into his strategy. Victory always has a plan, failure seldom does.

What is spontaneity? It is an action that takes place without any previous planning; it happens all at once. A bunch of friends may make a spur of the moment decision to go to a movie, or go out for pizza; that is spontaneous.

During this election year, we have seen numerous demonstrations about both major candidates. At these demonstrations we see signs, speakers and marching. Those things weren’t put together the day of the demonstration; they we preplanned, not spontaneous.

September 11^th is a very important date to the American people; this is known throughout the world. Friends and enemies alike know how America feels about that date. Our President should understand how sensitive this date is to our nation and our nation’s enemies. When we have flags flying at half-mast and speeches being made across our country, our enemies become angered; they hate to see a united America. Bin Laden is dead and that is a fact that they cannot resolve to themselves. Radicals want to make trouble for us whenever possible, and on this date, they have an even bigger reason to do so.

As our embassies have been assaulted and Americans have been murdered, we have heard it was done because of some innocuous video produced about Islam that no one even heard of two weeks ago. Our State Department even issued an apology for the video to the murderers; how ludicrous was that? They continued on by saying that having this happen on “9/11” was only a COINCIDENCE and all of this was a spontaneous action. Libyan officials said there was intelligence of these actions long before their occurrence, and the United States was notified of the possibility of trouble. The State Department continues to stick to this story of coincidence and spontaneous demonstration even after this embarrassing admission from Libya.

If the Libyan government is telling the truth, and a logical mind will probably believe this, then why did the Obama Administration not take the proper actions to protect our citizens abroad in our own embassies? I know Mr. Obama was busy in his reelection campaign; but his FIRST DUTY IS THE PROTECTION OF AMERICAN CITIZENS!!! Now we have dead Americans and burned out embassies and a lame story about a video from this weak leader’s administration.

On September 11^th, our intelligence community should have been in overdrive! Extra protection should have been the order of the day from the Oval Office, especially in countries where we have been called “Great Satan” and “Evil Infidels” by the lunatic radicals that live there. This tragedy is just one more example of what a poor President we have in the White House today. What will his next major mistake be? Maybe next time, we will be burying thousands of American’s on our own soil because of our “Travelling Candidate”, Barack Hussein Obama!!!
