Liberals Attack Obama for no Prosections over Bush Torture

CNN News: Reports that Liberals are mad that Obama is not dragging the Bush Administration in to court over its torture policies. Someone should have advised President Obama that no good deed ever goes unpunished. The left in the USA are appeasers, they will never fight for the security of the USA. They would allow the terrorists to win, give Obama his due, he gets the point that he needs the CIA. A major example of that is Pakistan and Afghanistan, the CIA is running the drone operation to kill terrorists. One has to ask why these Liberals not attacking Obama for killing terrorists and pirates, could it be that they are partisan hacks.

Liberals Attack Obama over Afghanistan Detainees

Fox News: Reports that President Obama is coming under attack from Liberals for holding detainees in Afghanistan. One has to wonder do Liberals get the idea that there is a war going on in Afghanistan, that Obama has sent another twenty one thousand soldiers in to theatre. If Liberals had their way, all those caught on the battle field could call for a lawyer. This is getting out of hand, these Liberals have pre - 9/11 mind set, even Obama gets that those caught on the battle field in Afghanistan have to be held. Expect the War in Afghanistan to be the the reason that Liberals split with Obama, Liberals have no backbone. They just want to appease. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran will define the Obama Presidency.

Class War Taliban/Terrorist Style - Pakistan

The New York Times: Reports on the class war strategy used by the Taliban/Terrorists in Pakistan. This strategy is working, as you have a few rich individuals and a lot of poor people in Pakistan. Its Pakistan that gives me nightmares, the Taliban/Terrorists are moving to take over Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan is in appease mode. The US Government is using drones to attack the Taliban/Terrorists in the badlands of the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. At the end of the day Obama might have his 24 moment, he might have to send troops in to Pakistan, Obama can not allow the Taliban/Terrorists to take over Pakistan, they could get their hands on the nuclear weapons of Pakistan. If that was to happen India would attack Pakistan in a heart beat. Thus the White House, CIA, Defence Department should start to plan for sending in a rapid reaction force to stabilize Pakistan or take out their nuclear weapons. On the Diplomatic side the Obama Administration under the guidance of Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State should start to spend money in Pakistan, to draw the poor people away form the Taliban/Terrorists. Thus a post WW2 type spending spree might be a good idea. Watch Pakistan people.

Obama on the Bush Torture Memos

The White House: Has a statement by President Obama on his approval to release the Bush 43 Torture memos. The President states the following on what he sees as the end result of these releases, " In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution. The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world. Their accomplishments are unsung and their names unknown, but because of their sacrifices, every single American is safer. We must protect their identities as vigilantly as they protect our security, and we must provide them with the confidence that they can do their jobs....This is a time for reflection, not retribution.....But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past. " In other words Obama is giving the left some read meat but its spin, the President is aware of the damage that was done the Intelligence Agencies in the 70s by Ford and Carter. Also the CIA gave Bush 43 a hard time, a stream of leaks, Obama does not need the CIA to leak against him. Thus Obama must hope that this paper junk will end the matter, the left might have other ideas. The Attorney General of the United States has stated the following on the release of the documents, " that intelligence community officials who acted reasonably and relied in good faith on authoritative legal advice from the Justice Department that their conduct was lawful, and conformed their conduct to that advice, would not face federal prosecutions for that conduct.....The Attorney General has informed the Central Intelligence Agency that the government would provide legal representation to any employee, at no cost to the employee, in any state or federal judicial or administrative proceeding brought against the employee based on such conduct and would take measures to respond to any proceeding initiated against the employee in any international or foreign tribunal, including appointing counsel to act on the employee’s behalf and asserting any available immunities and other defenses in the proceeding itself....To the extent permissible under federal law, the government will also indemnify any employee for any monetary judgment or penalty ultimately imposed against him for such conduct and will provide representation in congressional investigations. " Afghanistan and Pakistan what ever Liberals think or what Liberals in the West Wing want to see will need the CIA, thus Obama is has a dual track, pander to the left but given them nothing, also close down any Congressional Investigations. Lets see if works.

The Torture Memos - Bush 43

BBC News: The Obama Administration has released what the BBC calls the Bush 43 Torture Memos. This is a mistake by Obama, if your in the CIA and in the future you have a Jack Baure moment are you going to risk your career if you think POTUS is not going to back you up. This is the repeat of the 1970s when the CIA was hung out to dry by the Ford and Carter Administrations. The difference this time is that Obama might not want to think the USA is still at War with terrorists, but the terrorists might have different ideas. The nightmare for Obama is that a dirty bomb goes off or a major terrorists act is committed on the USA homeland and an investigation finds that due to the new Obama restrictions the Intelligence Agencies would not take the action needed to prevent such an act. Obama would be one term President, in fact he would get impeached. It can be postulated that Obama will be a one term President, his weakness over Iran will allow Iran to become a nuclear power, his failure over North Korea has shown that his words are weak. The timetable for Iraq could allow the terrorists to come back under the influence of Iran. In Afghanistan and Pakistan the Obama Administration is leading the USA and the UK down the road in to a quagmire, that will cost more USA and UK deaths and could lead to the fall of Pakistan. On the whole Democrats don't have a good record when it comes to National Security. Thus four years down the line don't be surprised to find a Republican taking over from the secular second coming that is Obama.
