…when an American president would be bowing to a foreign king.
Then again I never thought I’d see the day when we would abandon our allies, excuse our foes, treat terrorists better than POW’s, ignoring dissidents and embracing the worst players on the international stage.
That doesn’t even go near the domestic agenda.
No wonder Castro and Carter are practically wetting themselves.
The Government we deserve, here it is. Enjoy it.
Morning Joe is reporting that the Attorney General is reporting that the 9/11 mastermind is going to be moved to NYC and tried in a civilian court.
Lets forgetting that discovery is going to really hurt intelligence and compromise agents and tactics this is going to have an incredible effect on the battlefield.
Terrorists taken on the battlefield will of course assume and demand lawyers. People who are not even entitled to Geneva protections will get the protections of US law and the best lawyers that our liberal friends will can provide, and trust me they will proudly provide them.
There is a message to our troops, kill them, kill them all and don’t bother to take them alive because you might end up being deposed. If I’m a commander in the field I take the gloves off, I don’t worry about taking anybody alive, I don’t risk my troops for anything now, and I just hit hard, with any weapon I am allowed. If there are non-combatants in the area I don’t worry about it.
This is a policy that is going to cost American lives and the decision of this administration is one they should be ashamed of, if it had any shame.
I guess the decision to do this right after Ft. Hood is the hope of burying all the bad news at once. I guess they decided that the Ft. Hood attack wasn’t a big enough win for Al-Qaeda so they decided to give them another one.
Update: At the News conference he ducks the question. He is a disgrace to this office.
Never forget people, we as a nation did this to ourselves, it is our fault and we will pay for this in blood.
Update 2: Memeorandum doesn’t have it yet, somebody besides me must be writing about it somewhere.
Update 3: It’s up there now.
Update 4: Hotair brings up a good point:
What do we get from having the 9/11 plotters tried in criminal court in New York City? Well, we get to have the city painted as a big, bright target for terrorist action during the entirety of the trial. Thanks to press coverage, which should be an order of magnitude more obsessive than the OJ Simpson trial in LA fourteen years ago, jihadists will come out of the woodwork to make a big international splash, or more likely a boom. We also give KSM and his cohorts a big, juicy media platform for their bile. That was one of their motivations for conducting the attack in the first place, and we finally get to deliver it to them.
I wonder if we will also get a Lynne Stewart ready to pass on info to his friends on the other side. Actually she is out now isn’t she, or if not will be by the time of the trial, she can work for the defense team.
Glenn used to use the phrase, “they’re not anti war they are just on the other side.“. Will we see it return with an interesting twist in the near future?
A: That some people were not paying attention for the last 8 years.
The Story:
Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent “considerable time” consoling those who were wounded in Thursday’s shooting spree, Fox News has learned.
The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.
The couple was described as “deeply concerned” about military families on Fort Hood after Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on soldiers and civilians, killing 13 and wounding 38.
The Bushes, who have a 1,600-acre property known as Prairie Chapel Ranch less than 30 miles from Fort Hood in central Texas, spent between one and two hours visiting the wounded and their families.
The reaction from our side was not unexpected but Hillbuzz’s reaction was a revelation to them:
As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.
FOR HOURS.
The Bushes went and met privately with these families for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them
and even more impressive than the act was the contrast:
They didn’t have to head to Ft. Hood. That was not their responsibility.
The Obamas should have done that.
But didn’t.
Wouldn’t.
Thank goodness George W. is still on his watch, with wonderful Laura at his side.
You might recall that the same George W. Bush met with the families of the dead soldiers without any fanfare, the media lost interest in casualties and caskets, until the president brought an entourage of media to his “surprise” visit and of course a complaint media is trying to protect him.
Legal Insurrection puts it best:
You don’t know what you’ve got ’till it’s gone.
Quite a few of us knew, that’s why we are so disgusted now.
what many are thinking:
Even if one were inclined to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt and assume that he had asked Former President Bush and Mrs. Bush to visit the wounded soldiers because the Bushes live in Texas, why would he ask this of his predecessor and not get on Air Force One overnight to get down there himself?
Why would he not go to be with those whom he is charged to send into battle and who were so horrifyingly betrayed by one of their own?
Because he doesn’t give a rat’s backside, that’s why not.
Sad to say this is a reasonable conclusion.
