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.
