Obama's Deceitfulness

In attempt to embarrass the Bush Administration, President Barack Obama purposely redacted CIA memos that shows evidence that enhanced interrogations led to specific actionable intelligence that prevented Terrorists attacks and saved American lives.

The Main Stream Media, again is being derelict in their duties of providing the American people with the truth. The MSM will not ask the Obama administration the tough questions as to why he is playing politics and risking the lives of thousands of Americans from future attacks.

In his short time in office, President Obama has imperiled the American people by reverting to a Pre-911 mentality that was a key factor that led to our vulnerability of the World Trade Center attacks.

This country is much less safer by the irresponsible actions of this most disgraceful excuse for a president.

A President a Terrorists Could Love

President Barack Obama saw fit to authorize the release formerly classified memos concerning enhanced interrogation techniques used against captured enemy combatants.

This is sheer folly on the part of our president who fancies himself as president of the world rather than president of the United States. This is a man who swore to protect, uphold, and defend the constitution but instead he rather help our enemies.

What brilliant idea will he come up with next?

So, as a result of the public backlash from former CIA directors and Republicans, the Obama White House hastily organised a photo-op at CIA headquarters with handpicked staffers to give the appearance of adulation and support. Of course, the Main Stream Media, the propaganda arm of the Obama administration, covered the event as if President Barack Obama was a rock star. However, the vast majority of the United States have seen passed the charade and see the president for what he is, a dangerously naive former senator from the corrupt Chicago political machine.

Michelle Malkin-Barbara Boxer: Greatest Threat to National Security is… Carbon Dioxide

It’s time for Barbara Boxer and her hair be put out to pasture.



What I love about Michelle Malkin is her vicious wit. She takes no prisoners when it comes to speaking up for Conservatism.

She writes:

If by “conflict” she means harsh opposition to the continued takeover of the U.S. from within under the guise of saving the world from a fiery death, then I suppose she’s correct — but that’s not what she means.

Boxer is saying, “Unless you want a lot of wars, support our EPA power grab!”

The real intent of course isn’t to rank climate change as being a greater threat than terrorism, but to inextricably link them as one problem and assign the blame to your SUV and dependency on the coal energy that is giving Ashley Judd the trots.

It’s “blame America first” at its most twisted. “They won’t attack if you hand us billions more for clean energy and green jobs!”

Maybe Barbara Boxer believes that Al Qaeda flew planes into the World Trade Centers because they were getting too warm, but I’m certainly skeptical.

In fact, the greatest threat to national security isn’t climate change, terrorism or rogue dictators — it’s the people who are running our own government right now.

Keep bringing the heat, Michelle!

Sarah Palin Schools President Obama on National Security

The following is a statement by Sarah Palin from her Face Book page.

“President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant.

It simply makes no sense to treat an al Qaeda-trained operative willing to die in the course of massacring hundreds of people as a common criminal. Reports indicate that Abdulmutallab stated there were many more like him in Yemen but that he stopped talking once he was read his Miranda rights. President Obama’s advisers lamely claim Abdulmutallab might be willing to agree to a plea bargain – pretty doubtful you can cut a deal with a suicide bomber. John Brennan, the President’s top counterterrorism adviser, bizarrely claimed “there are no downsides or upsides” to treating terrorists as enemy combatants. That is absurd. There is a very serious downside to treating them as criminals: terrorists invoke their “right” to remain silent and stop talking. Terrorists don’t tell us where they were trained, what they were trained in, who they were trained by, and who they were trained with. Giving foreign-born, foreign-trained terrorists the right to remain silent does nothing to keep Americans safe from terrorist threats. It only gives our enemies access to courtrooms where they can publicly grandstand, and to defense attorneys who can manipulate the legal process to gain access to classified information.

President Obama was right to change his policy and decide to send no more detainees to Yemen where they can be free to rejoin their war on America. Now he must back off his reckless plan to close Guantanamo, begin treating terrorists as wartime enemies not suspects alleged to have committed crimes, and recognize that the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor.”

Obama’s Top Counter-Terror Adviser: “There is no smoking gun.” Translation: Be afraid, be very afraid!

And the incompetence just keeps on coming from the Obama administration!

Yesterday President Barack Obama, who is still vacationing in Hawaii to feed his golf addiction, trotted out Deputy National Security Advisor John Brennan to the Sunday news shows, to attempt to calm the public’s angst over the recent failed terrorist attack on Christmas day by the fruit-of-loom bomber.

It didn’t work.

Incredibly, Brennan said this on Fox News Sunday:

“There is no smoking gun. There was no single piece of intelligence that said this guy is going to get on a plane.”

This guy makes Janet Napolitano look like Sherlock Holmes.

Now, I’m not an intelligence expert, but I used to be an investigator for the City of New York. And if I found out a man’s (Umar Farouik Abdulmutallab) own father walked into a U.S. Embassy in Lagos to report his own son had gone Jihadist, that’s pretty damn smokey.

And if I found out that the same guy spent time in Yemen, my eyes may begin to water.

Then if I also found out that the same guy had been banned from Britain, I may actually started coughing.

Why was the underwear bomber banned from Britain?

Brennan explained, “It was because of immigrations concern that was not related to terrorism at all.”

It turned out that Mr. Hot Pants lied on a visa application by putting down a fictitious school he wanted to attend in England.

I see.

So a Muslim who spent time in Yemen, lied on official government documents where you must sign an affirmation that you’re telling the truth, and Obama’s national security deputy still doesn’t see any 2020 hindsight smoke?

Why did he go on TV at all?

I hear the president is trying to coax Inspector Clouseau out of retirement. He’ll fit right in.

The People Speak Out

After seeing President Obama yuk it up with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, I now understand the political climate of America today ("Bam's New BFF Hugo," April 19).

The Republican Party has morphed into a conservative, liberalist-light mishmash, and the Democratic Party is becoming communistic.

Lord, help us.

Obama bows to a Saudi king.

Obama breezily chats with Chavez.

Obama kowtows to Iran, which essentially has been at war with the United States since 1979.

Obama expresses willingness to develop closer ties to mass murderer and Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

Is there a tyrant for whom Obama is not an apologist?

Here I thought Obama was the second coming of Jimmy Carter, which would be bad enough. But it's worse: He may be the second coming of Neville Chamberlain.

I'm not shocked at all by the glowing look of admiration on Obama's face as he shook hands with his socialist brother Chavez.

After Obama's ridiculous performance in front of the EU, is anyone shocked?

Stop apologizing for me, Mr. President. It seems that you think that if you're a friend, like Great Britain or Israel, you're out. However, if you're an anti-Western tyrant, you're in.

Obama is bending over backwards for Cuba's Castro, another anti-American tyrant. But is he calling for free elections, a free press or the release of opposition? Not on your life.

Wake up, America. Our country is being stolen from within.

It is becoming more and more apparent that naivete has replaced sensibility as the nucleus of our foreign policy.

From Day One, our president has repeatedly stated that he will speak to any of our foes if it can lead to constructive dialogue.

But constructive for whom? Does anyone honestly think that we will teach Chavez or others the error of their ways?

Instead of being strong and unflinching, we will be perceived as paper tigers who can be maneuvered at will.

Wasn't the book Chavez gave to Obama, "Open Veins of Latin America," intended to show us the error of our ways?

Maybe our president and his foreign-policy team should go back to the table and rethink their strategies before it's too late.

Kudos to my favorite newspaper, The Post, for showing photos of the two biggest threats to our hemisphere.

Chavez and Obama have demonstrated that they have something in common: They both bash the United States.

The only characters missing from this picture are Carter, Castro and Che Guevera.

PROSECUTING PATRIOTS

WITH the ugly sanctimony of those who never had to make hard decisions, the American left demands show trials of those who kept us safe after 9/11. Wrapping themselves in repugnant self-righteousness, the MoveOn.org set wants political prosecutions. Should President Obama acquiesce, he won't be furthering the rule of law, but dismantling it.

Show trials have long been popular with leftists. Those who don't conform to each jot of doctrine become "enemies of the people." From Stalin down to Putin, and from Mao to Castro, vengeance disguised as law has been a mega-hit.

Those on the left don't want justice. If they did, they'd be protesting the murderous torture prevalent in Iran, the Gaza Strip, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and Russia. Instead, our leftists want us to show the leaders of those terror states more respect.

The left is out for revenge. It always is. Hatred of those who think differently is the left's unifying principle. Leftists don't need God, but they see devils everywhere.

When President-for-Life Hugo Chavez called President George W. Bush "el Diablo," our leftists agreed. Hatred of the last administration grew so irrational that any terrorist, no matter how monstrous, became no more than a victim of Bush-Cheney.

Now the left wants an Inquisition for heretics who failed to share its worldview. Men and women who, in their capacity as public servants, wrestled with difficult legal issues in the course of our battle with terrorists are now to be tried and shamed because the left disagreed with their legal opinions and actions. No matter that most Americans wouldn't view the methods of our interrogators as torture when applied to hardened terrorists (despite the media's ceaseless effort to convince us otherwise). No matter that foreign leaders championed by the left use vastly more brutal techniques.

No matter that interrogators differ on the utility of "harsh" methods or that the information gleaned indisputably saved American lives. No matter that our system of government functioned as it was designed to.

The left just didn't like the results the system produced. Law has nothing to do with this cry for vengeance. This is purely about political differences. During the Bush administration, leftists warned repeatedly that actions they didn't like put our country on a "slippery slope." Well, once we initiate show trials of government officials who did their best to protect us, we'll have skipped the slippery slope and leapt to the bottom.

If Obama agrees to any form of show trial, he and his own team will live to regret it. His party won't always be in power, and he'll have set a hideous, un-American precedent.

If the Obama administration fails to keep us safe and our citizens are attacked at home or abroad, shall we then prosecute those who dismantled our safeguards and gutted our intelligence effort?

As countless leftists learned in the course of the 20th century, today's witness for the prosecution is tomorrow's enemy of the people.

The rule of law is paramount. When we pervert the law for political ends, we attack our deepest foundations. Where would such show trials stop? Will we try Supreme Court justices for issuing legal opinions with which a future administration disagrees?

There are plenty of genuine crimes worth prosecuting in Washington, DC. Corruption abounds. Not a few members of Congress -- from both parties -- should be in jail. But corruption isn't taken seriously. Politics are.

If the left gets its People's Court to destroy the lives of patriots who did their human, imperfect best to defend us (and who succeeded in that effort for seven years), we will do more damage to the United States than all the dictators our president longs to embrace could do together.

The left has nothing against torture. It just wants to choose the victims.

Meanwhile, that great bogeyman beloved of left-wing propagandists and Hollywood (sorry for being redundant), Sen. Joseph McCarthy, is grinning from ear to ear in hell: He's become the left's new role model.
