So much for Obama’s promise to not go backward regarding the CIA interrogations. Secretary Holder of the Justice Department is releasing documents and appointed a special prosecutor to delve back into things that kept the country safe for the last eight years since 9/11. Obama’s pitiful response is that he still believes that we should refrain from going backwards but it is Holder’s decision to make.
Does anyone really believe that Obama is telling the truth on this subject? He is after all, the President of the United States and if he felt so strongly on the matter, he could order Holder and the Justice Department to cease and desist. The truth is, Obama is a proving to be dishonest, which is becoming a recurring theme with his administration. It looks like Obama is taking away interrogations from the CIA and putting this job under a the FBI umberella. Interrogations will be conducted by what's to be called New Terrorism Interrogation Teams. They are to be closely monitored by the White House. This sets up the FBI, which has historically gathered information for prosecutions, at the head of the interrogation area instead of the CIA which historically has been responsible for interrogations.
This move should have liberals filled with absolute glee because it closes the door on all of the Bush Administration interrogation techniques. The truth of the matter is that Obama has to appeal to his left wing base that has been less than happy with him lately, especially over the health care debate. The timing of this Justice Department CIA investigation is suspect. It suddenly takes front and center at the White House when the administration and the Democrats are taking a beating over Obama Care. “Wagging the Dog” comes to mind and the Clinton Administration. We all know what happened there. This digging into the past is going to backfire on the Democrats because the people are going to tire of things that are not focusing on current issues facing this country, like the deficit, Obama is running through the roof and the health care issue. Most importantly, the people are going to be filled with disbelief that this administration is going after the men and women on the front lines of fighting terrorism and are responsible for keep us safe up to this point. The situation is incredulous. The backlash at the town halls should be telling as to where the American people are at. We could look at Obama’s approval ratings that are falling like a rock.
Obama is destroying this country and giving in to the likes of Jane Fonda and other far left loons that spend most of their time protesting against our military and taking their right to criticize and protest for granted. They have lost sight of the fact that they do so by the spilled blood of many men and women in the armed services. Obama had stated that the new interrogation teams housed at the FBI will use the Army Field Manual to conduct interrogations. This is sad because it basically amounts to our people getting down on one knee and begging for information that may save lives in the future. It is useless. You can’t treat terrorists the same way you would an armed robber in an interrogation room at your local police department. Liberals do not get it.
The problem is that 9/11 was eight years ago and we have gotten soft and forgetful of how we felt on that day. The biggest mouths criticizing the Bush Administration’s determination to keep America safe following the attacks, were those who were not directly affected by the attacks nor lost love ones. Obama and the liberals are taking actions that will assure another attack on America and the next one will most likely make 9/11 look like a fraternity prank. I hope that people who protest and denounce our military and CIA workers never know the horror the victims of 9/11 suffered. Nevertheless, be ready folks, because it is coming. The terrorists are watching the Democrats and Obama and how they are dismantling out national security. It is a matter of when, not if. George W. Bush won’t be around to be blamed for it when it occur, however, I never ceased to be amazed how liberals manage to find a way to blame Bush and conservatives for everything wrong with the nation.
In the end, I think that we all have to take responsibility for the votes that we cast at the polling stations during election times. I believe some people are already rethinking their love affair with President Obama. If you aren’t there yet, don’t worry you will be. We have three and a half more years for him to dismantle the U.S. and the Constitution as we know it.
