Cheney vs. Obama
Last week on the CNN's Sunday news program Cheney was asked by John King if he thought that Obama plans to close Gitmo, to rename the "war on terror" and "enemy combatants", to try them in US courts, on and on, would hurt the USA in the so called "war on terror"?
Cheney answered the question honestly as he saw it, he said yes, he believes Obama is making the country less safe by his PC criminalization of the "war on terror".
Well the MSM did not like this news, how dare Cheney say such, who cares if he was asked? Who cares that Obama for the last two yrs went from campaign stop to campaign stop saying the Bush and Cheney has made us less safe, that was okay? But for Cheney to say the same of Obama? That's an outrage! To equal the AIG bonuses!!
So this week the Barack of Obama was being interviewed on CBS's 60 Minutes, and he was asked to reply to Cheney's claimes, he denounced Cheney and the school of thought that Cheney subscribes too. With the standard lib fair about making the entire muslim world hate us, blah blah blah, and then he drops this bomb " how many convictions have come from Cheney's Gitmo idea's, how many have been brought to justice" he asked?
Well, this points out exactly were Obama stands, to him the war on terror is a criminal matter to to be measured in court convictions only. The thousands we have sent to paradise (death) are not "brought to justice" in his book. Obama believes that only being found guilty in a US court of law is how to deal with and defeat Islamic Extremism!
Obama has sworn to close Gitmo, but he has no idea what he will do with the detainees? He ran on getting our NATO allies to send more troops to Afganistan but so far no one has taken him up on this claim. Soon you can be sure the anti war loons here at home will start demanding that we leave Afganistan too, just as they did in Iraq, and I have no faith that Obama will have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to them! He plans to take the county back to pre-9/11 mindset of dismissing the terror threat as a criminal matter to be handled by the courts, and he wont even let his Sec. of Homeland Security say the word "terror".
Did we learn anything from 9/11? Terror is an act of war! Its not a crime, we are in a world wide war for the future of mankind, this is not a criminal matter, and as long as the Dem's believe it is, than we will never be safe! The truth hurts, and thats why the MSM was so upset last week, because Cheney was just being honest, Obama has, and will continue to, make us less safe!!
I seem to recall that Obama's liberal allies tied up military tribunals in the courts for years while the detainees awaited trial.
Also, Bill Clinton thought it appropriate to treat terrorism as a law enforcement matter. His administration never went after the masterminds and sponsors of the first WTC attack, and left them free to plot 9/11.
He also wouldn't let the FBI and CIA work together, and used strict legalisms to block efforts to take out Bin Laden, with the result that he missed 13 different opportunities to get Bin Laden.
Now, we're following the same idiocies again, this time under a different president who claims to represent "change", but the more I see of this president the more I see Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
