After over two years in office without yet closing the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, the Obama Administration has now also concluded that Article III military tribunals for those accused of participating in terrorist acts against the United States are sufficient justice after all.
Both of these acts, or non-acts, are tacit admissions of the wisdom of Bush Administration policies. They are also admissions that the Obama White House has no intention of keeping its campaign promise about reversing those policies. From the Elite Media, from fellow Democrats, and from fellow travelers, the silence over the breaking of this pledge has been deafening.
To anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear, and at least half a functioning brain (that's all it takes), these issues, like virtually every issue to virtually every liberal on virtually every occasion, were never anything more than opportunities for them to cynically manipulate public opinion in order to improve their chances of either getting or remaining elected.
That real human lives were at stake meant for them little to nothing at all. If it did, if it really did, we would be listening to more than just the crickets chirping right now.
Will Obama and his confreres suffer politically for this breach of promise? Not likely.
They are shameless by definition. But shame on us for not making them pay for it.

ReplyDeleteThank you for bringing this to at least part of the attention it deserves. As a service member myself, I will say that nothing made me feel more sick than listening to liberals during the Bush administration speak out of both sides of their faces on the issue of troops. Listening to someone who you know has no respect for the service talk about doing things like....closing down Gitmo, for the safety of troops brought me close to vomiting. As you have pointed out with such clarity in your article, if these people cared a lick about Soldiers, Sailors, and Airmen, there would be outcry about Obama's recent revelation. That is, if they believed what they said originally anyhow. They don't care now. They didn't care then. They disgust me and it pained me to know that my service protected the oozing sore on our society that is the left.
Hmmm, I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to say exactly.
ReplyDeleteKidding, of course. Crystal clear!
