David Schulberg the 3rd Excerpted from Michelle Malkin: Behold Canada and America. One country supports the efforts of a U.S. Special Forces soldier’s widow to hold accountable the jihadist who killed her husband and the father of her two young children. The other country helped free that jihadist from Guantanamo Bay in a shady deal that appeased his far-left allies.
Guess which side President Obama’s on.
The widow is Tabitha Speer. Her children are Taryn and Tanner. Their husband and father was an American hero: Sergeant First Class Christopher Speer, a 28-year-old medic with the U.S. Special Forces. As I reported in my syndicated column eleven years ago, Speer died in Afghanistan during an ambush by al-Qaeda operatives. The remorseless Islamic zealot who lobbed the fatal grenade that killed Speer in 2002: 15-year-old Omar Khadr.
Bleeding-heart activists painted Khadr as a brainwashed “child” soldier – while ignoring Speer’s then 3-year-old daughter and 11-month-old son, left fatherless in the name of Allah. Khadr knew exactly what he was doing: targeting Americans for murder. Sergeant First Class Layne Morris of South Jordan, Utah, was there. He lost his right eye in the ambush and said after the attack: “That was a trained al-Qaeda who wanted to make his last act on Earth the killing of an American.”
The FBI called Khadr, who was detained at Gitmo in November 2002, “cold and callous.” Terrorist videos showed the teen smiling as he rigged explosives in preparation for the fight. The thought of killing our soldiers brightened his day, he said. One of his leaders exulted on tape as they readied their bombs and grenades: “Allah willing, we will get a good number of Americans.”
Confused, innocent “child” of upstanding peace-seekers? Bull. Following Khadr’s capture, I should remind you, his sister said the death of Speer was no “big deal.” His mother declared she would rather see her sons at al-Qaeda training camps than “be on drugs or having some homosexual relation.”
One brother openly admitted: “We are an al-Qaeda family.” And another brother stated: “Every Muslim dreams of being a shahid [martyr] for Islam.”
The Conservative Canadian government lent its public support to the Speer family and to Morris on the eve of Memorial Day weekend. “Our government supports the efforts of Tabitha Speer and fellow soldiers to receive compensation for their horrible loss.” Good for them.
How about America’s leaders? AWOL. The reason Khadr is in Canada, in case you didn’t know, is that Obama freed him from Gitmo after intense lobbying from the “compassionate” social-justice crowd.
