This Means War

by James Taranta - January 23rd, 2009 - Wall Street Journal

Cognitive dissonance anyone? "Promising to return America to the 'moral high ground' in the war on terrorism, President Obama issued three executive orders Thursday to demonstrate a clean break from the Bush administration, including one requiring that the Guantanamo Bay detention facility be closed within a year," CNN reports.

The New York Times actually cautions that that these people really are terrorists on its front page.

The total confusion about what these executive orders means is not good during a time of war. The Magic Marxist Messiah is blithely indifferent to the fact that the war goes on. His executive orders provide no guidance to how to fight the war for the next year as he says that he will not "close" Guantanamo during that time. However all war trials and investigations come to a halt as Obama stops any interrogations using techniques that work.

With no clarity about what type of interrogation techniques are legal, and with Obama operatives and supporters clamoring for criminal trials of those who used the rules legal during the Bush years, our troops are left in a totally bizarre situation. Tomorrow, when they capture someone who knows where enemy troops are hiding and what plans they have to kill us, what do they do?

The actions by the Magic Marxist Messiah are beyond stupidity, they are criminal. Since we are at war, that makes them treason too. I warned people during the campaign that this junior politician, who has never accomplished anything of note in his life except make fancy speeches and allow a ghost written book to be published in his name, IS NOT FIT TO LEAD OUR NATION.
