This Torture Pix reversal along with the fight between BO vs Pelosi vs CIA vs Hoyer vs etc., etc...proves that this wagon train of Leftist Rats has thrown some wheels and is about to be ambushed big time. Maybe even the Pubs will get in on the attack, if they don’t have to take any hits.

I say just sit back and pass the popcorn. The O-man is really firing up his base, and not in the way he had planned.

It finally dawned on Obama that he would be held responsible for any American deaths and injuries resulting from release of the photos. Our troops in the field, our embassies and consulates, US businesses abroad, amerrican tourists, etc. could well become targets. And Obama would have a hard time blaming this on Bush. When the rubber meets the road, Obama doesn’t want to held responsible for anything.

This article makes it sound like Bush did nothing to stop abuses...and somehow magically Zero discovered abuses, prosecuted ill-behaving troops and put them in the slammer - all in three months.

Oh wait...THAT WAS THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION

God, how I wish Cheney were our POTUS!

Good things happen when conservatives speak truth to power.

No More New Tone

The President would be the last to excuse the actions depicted in these photos. That is why the Department of Defense investigated these cases, and why individuals have been punished through prison sentences, discharges, and a range of other punitive measures.

Funny how they forgot to mention that the bad apples were punished, discharged, or reprimanded by the Bush administration BEFORE even the first photo was leaked to the media.

SIAP but the only reason he is not releasing the photos is because of Pelosi.

He wants it to go away as fast as possible to protect her. If they were to show the pictures it would give more weight to what she knew and when she knew it and why she lied about it.
