Obama and Gitmo.... just like Bush and Gitmo

President Barack Obama says he's open to the idea of detaining some Guantanamo Bay terror suspects somewhere else for prolonged periods,

"The president says there are some detainees who don't fall neatly into existing categories for criminal prosecution in the United States or under international law."

Huh, thats funny, I believe that is EXACTLY the rationale Bush used to keep them in Guantanamo.

To Critics, New Policy on Terror Looks Old

"Civil libertarians recently accused President Obama of acting like former President George W. Bush, citing reportsabout Mr. Obama’s plans to detain terrorism suspects without trials on domestic soil after he closes the Guantánamo prison."

"It was only the latest instance in which critics have argued that Mr. Obama has failed to live up to his campaign pledge “to restore our Constitution and the rule of law” and raised a pointed question: Has he, on issues related to fighting terrorism, turned out to be little different from his predecessor?"

“President Obama may mouth very different rhetoric,” said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union. “He may have a more complicated process with members of Congress. But in the end, there is no substantive break from the policies of the Bush administration.”

Cheney Speech: In Support of Jack Bauer

Cheney made some great points today about how the Obama administration loves to blame all of the terrorist attacks on ourselves. As if taking pictures of naked Arab guys gave birth to terrorism.

Also he made a very good Jack Bauer point about how the three terrorists that were water boarded were high level murdering SOBs that killed thousands of Americans. And they were tortured to prevent a further loss of lives.

Liberals are always so concerned with the rights of terrorists and criminals. They place more importance on it than the safety of innocent people.

I couldn't find the transcript of the speech, but here's Communist News Network's spin on it: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/21/cheney.speech/

The Messiah Needs To Git Mo Priorities Straight

One of the things that bothers me most about liberals is that they put more importance on the rights of criminals than they do on the rights of law abiding citizens.

States like NY and CA have these ridiculous laws that require a homeowner to retreat from a home invader instead of stopping them with force. Homeowners are often faced with legal and civil charges for defending their families. Why do these liberal douchebag lawmakers waste all of this effort protecting home invaders!? Fuck home invaders. Why don't they worry about homeowners and propose stricter punishments for the criminals.

So with Obama's first executive order [1], he wants to make sure that we cease prosecuting and mistreating terrorists. Guantanamo isn't filled with innocent cab drivers and convenience store owners. They're TERRORISTS. Yes liberals. They're TERRORISTS.

Obama's first order of business is to make sure that we release as many terrorists as possible. Good job!

Obama and his 160 million cult members live in this make believe world where everybody can get along. If we retreat (something liberals love to do!) from the war on terror, we're going to be setting ourselves up for another nine-eleven, or worse. The good people of Gitmo would be excited to see that.

I hope that I never have to say, "I told you so."
