Islamic Terrorist? What Islamic Terrorist?

Obama emerged from his golf vacation yesterday to talk about the Christmas Day attack on an airliner - but there was no evidence that either his heart or his mind accompanied him.

Yesterday, Obama termed Abdulmutallab "an isolated extremist."

Really? Is that all?

The bomber's own father warned US officials in October that his son had fallen in with Islamic radicals.

Abdulmutallab himself reportedly told federal officials he trained with al Qaeda in Yemen -- and, for what it's worth, al Qaeda in Yemen confirms that.

And ABC News reported yesterday that two of Abdulmutallab's Yemeni trainers had been released from Guantanamo Bay to the Saudis in 2007 -- and then set free after (no joke) "art therapy rehabilitation."

Meanwhile, Brian Jenkins of the Rand Corporation reports 12 incidents of Islamist terror either in the United States or involving Americans abroad in 2009, the most in any year since 9/11. (These include the Fort Hood massacre.)

See the trend line?

Obama refuses to.

"Those who would attack our country" is how he described the jihadis -- a formulation he used four times in his brief address.

But if the president refuses to define the enemy, how can he expect America to defend against that enemy?

No wonder Napolitano is so confused.
